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.
