Audi AG plans to show an electric crossover with a range that rivals Tesla Motors Inc.’s Model S, stepping up pressure on the electric-car maker as it prepares to add an SUV of its own.
Audi’s E-tron Quattro concept, which will be unveiled next month at the Frankfurt auto show, can drive more than 500 kilometers (310 miles) before needing to recharge, the Ingolstadt, Germany-based carmaker said Wednesday in a statement. That beats Tesla’s stated 420-kilometer range for the base version of the Model S, but trails behind the 528 kilometers of the 85D variant.
