That is by design, as Audi is finally ditching the confusing nomenclature <a href=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/2017\/08\/24\/audi-introduces-new-nomenclature-for-power-output-designations-of-all-models-starting-with-the-new-a8\/\">it has persisted with since 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/audi\/362622\/goodbye-40-tdi-audi-drops-numbered-engine-names-confused-us-all\" rel=\"noopener\" >Auto Express<\/a><\/em>, Ingolstadt&#8217;s head of EV sales and product marketing Florian Hauser said the brand is focusing on making it easier for consumers to make their choice. \u201cWhen we talk about simplicity we don\u2019t just talk about the options and the configuration process, we are really thinking of getting the leanest engine programme for the Q6 which still refers to our customer demands.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This means that moving forwards, Audi will be offering fewer powertrain options to negate the need for numbers. Instead, you get a choice in the number of driven wheels (quattro or non-quattro) and one or two power outputs (Q or S). For instance, the regular all-wheel-drive Q6 e-tron bears just the &#8220;quattro&#8221; badge.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/2024\/03\/19\/2024-audi-q6-e-tron-debuts\/2024-audi-q6-e-tron-debut-45\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1740989\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2024\/03\/2024-Audi-Q6-e-tron-debut-45-630x394.jpg\" alt=\"Audi ditches confusing numbered variant names \u2013 quattro and S to differentiate power outputs\" width=\"630\" height=\"394\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1740989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2024\/03\/2024-Audi-Q6-e-tron-debut-45-630x394.jpg 630w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2024\/03\/2024-Audi-Q6-e-tron-debut-45-1200x750.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2024\/03\/2024-Audi-Q6-e-tron-debut-45-750x469.jpg 750w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2024\/03\/2024-Audi-Q6-e-tron-debut-45-850x531.jpg 850w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2024\/03\/2024-Audi-Q6-e-tron-debut-45-1260x788.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><center><em>The Q6 e-tron is the first to completely eliminate the old variant names<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if it\u2019s a performance model with quattro, then it\u2019s \u2018SQ6.\u2019\u201d said Hauser. \u201cIf you think about what\u2019s coming next, when we talk about rear-wheel drive it\u2019s just a Q6. For smaller and bigger batteries we could think about a suffix behind the \u20186\u2019 &#8211; for example \u2018Performance.\u2019 And so we don\u2019t need the numbers anymore, so we won\u2019t show them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Audi had already moved towards ditching the numbered naming scheme with the <a href=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/2023\/06\/16\/2023-audi-q8-e-tron-launched-in-malaysia\/\">Q8 e-tron<\/a>, which did not bear the differentiating badge on the tailgate. However, the variant names were retained on marketing materials and configurators \u2013 until now, that is. The company is also understood to be removing the badges on its internal combustion cars as well, although whether or not this naming scheme will appear elsewhere is still being discussed.<\/p>\n<p>The numbered variant names were originally meant to move the company away from naming its variants based on engine displacement, and were vaguely based on power outputs. This mirrored the naming scheme used by BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which long since distanced themselves from their displacement-based origins (the <a href=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/2023\/01\/10\/2023-bmw-3-series-facelift-launched-in-malaysia-ckd-g20-lci-320i-for-rm264k-330e-rm279k-330i-rm298k\/\">BMW 320i, 330i and 330e<\/a>, for example, are all powered by 2.0 litre engines).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/2023\/02\/20\/2023-audi-a3-sedan-s-line-in-malaysia-fr-rm327k-otr\/2023_audi_a3_sedan_sline_malaysia_ext-6\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1574663\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2023\/02\/2023_Audi_A3_Sedan_SLine_Malaysia_Ext-6-630x354.jpg\" alt=\"Audi ditches confusing numbered variant names \u2013 quattro and S to differentiate power outputs\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1574663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2023\/02\/2023_Audi_A3_Sedan_SLine_Malaysia_Ext-6-630x354.jpg 630w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2023\/02\/2023_Audi_A3_Sedan_SLine_Malaysia_Ext-6-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2023\/02\/2023_Audi_A3_Sedan_SLine_Malaysia_Ext-6-1260x709.jpg 1260w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2023\/02\/2023_Audi_A3_Sedan_SLine_Malaysia_Ext-6-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/paultan.org\/image\/2023\/02\/2023_Audi_A3_Sedan_SLine_Malaysia_Ext-6-850x478.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><center><em>Us Malaysians never got the numbered variants for petrol-powered cars<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n<p>For instance, variants with 30 in their name made between 81 and 96 kW (109 and 129 hp); these rose in increments of five until the number 70, which was reserved for cars that made more than 400 kW (536 hp).<\/p>\n<p>As you can imagine, this completely arbitrary way of delineating variants weren&#8217;t very helpful for buyers making a decision on which model to buy. Audi had already ditched the system in certain markets like Malaysia \u2013 we retained the previous displacement-based naming scheme (like 2.0 TFSI), only using the numbers for EVs like the Q8
