Audi confirmed earlier this year that the
Q4 will hit the production line in 2019 and compete against the likes of the
BMW X4 and Mercedes-Benz GLC with its coupe-like profile. Lorenzo Mariotti has rendered what the vehicle may look like.
Limited inspiration has been taken from the Prologue
Concept and Audi’s current design language. Instead, the front ditches a
traditional grille entirely and solely consists of small air intakes and
horizontal headlights. It’s not what you’d call pretty and borrows man of its
design touches from the Audi e-Tron Sportback SUV concept.
The sides of the Q4 Concept are dominated
by impossibly-large wheels and low-profile tires, matched by slim side windows
and a low roofline, making the creation almost look like a high-riding estate,
not an SUV.
We know the finished product from Audi won’t look
like this but we’re even more interested than ever as to what the brand has up
its sleeve.
