 German luxury carmaker Audi has removed its iconic four rings logo in China, a move that has sparked shock and debate on social media.  The logo, a symbol of Audi’s legacy since the 1930s, was missing from the new E Concept electric sportback showcased in Shanghai earlier this month. Instead, the car featured “AUDI” written in bold capital letters on the front. This decision comes as other automakers, like Jaguar, face criticism for their rebranding efforts, with many users online labeling Audi’s change as a “bad move” and “confusing.” The rebranding is part of a collaboration between Audi and Chinese automaker SAIC to co-develop electric vehicles targeted at younger customers in the world’s largest auto market.

According to Fermin Soneira, CEO of the project, the new EV series will prioritize advanced features such as driver-assistance sys...
