Audi is previewing a crossover study that will debut at the Beijing Auto Show on April 20 with a set of drawings that reveal a sporty, coupe-like silhouette. No details are offered, but judging from previous reports we can suspect Audi’s China debut is the concept version of the upcoming Q4 crossover.

The Audi Q4 will be a rival for the Range Rover Evoque, BMW X4 and Porsche Macan, and will adopt a sportier design than the Q3 and Q5 SUVs, similar to what we have seen on the Audi Allroad Shooting Brake Concept earlier this year in Detroit.

The main difference between the two studies will be the additional two doors of the new Beijing concept car.

The interior appears to be very similar to the one from the Shooting Brake (and from the new 2015 Audi TT, for that matter). Overall, the sketches look promising, but expect the real thing to be less edgy when it is revealed in the metal.
