PPE and PPC models, E3 electronics architecture – Hardware and software update

Updates for five Audi model series: more emotion, comfort, and features in store.

Audi models based on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) and Premium Platform 
Combustion (PPC) will receive a comprehensive hardware and software update at 
the start of the new model year. New features will be added to 
the A5, A6, Q5, A6 e-tron, and Q6 e-tron series.

“With the new model year, we will be further enhancing important model series and offering our
customers a host of new features,” says Audi Chief Technical Officer Geoffrey Bouquot. “These
comprehensive innovations impressively demonstrate the future viability of the PPE platform for
electric models and the PPC platform for combustion-engine vehicles.” Many new highlights will 
be introduced that make the driving experience even more emotional, intuitive, and 
efficient – both in terms of hardware, such as new headlights, and software, in the form of new 
features for driver assistance and entertainment.
