According to a report by Manager Magazin, Audi is in talks with Huawei regarding the creation of a version of its next-generation A8 specifically for the Chinese market. This model would utilize the automotive architecture of the Chinese technology company.
It is proposed that the production of this vehicle will take place directly in China, rather than being imported from Germany, with the main part of the development being carried out by Huawei.
Furthermore, other premium vehicles, including an SUV, are also being discussed during the negotiations. Audi's goal is to strengthen its position in the increasingly competitive Chinese premium car market through this partnership.
The company plans to use this cooperation to support its manufacturing base in Changchun, with the initial release of the model targeted for before the end of 2028. However, an agreement between the companies has not yet been finalized.
