That's quite a badly written headline and article - are they saying they won't sell new gas cars by 2026 (but still resell 2nd hand ones) or they won't create new gas models by 2026 - I guess the latter.

I've checked the original source [0]: You've guessed right. They specifically said they won't be introducing/creating new gas models. Nowhere do they say that they won't sell old inventory.

It looks like the article has been updated.
"Editor‘s note: A previous version of this article stated Audi would stop making gas cars by 2026. Instead, Audi will no longer bring new gas cars to market by 2026. This has been corrected."

Seems pretty clear - no new gas/petrol/diesel models by 2016; no hybrid or full electric in the range by 2028.
Hybrids mostly exist to tick a regulatory box, so a fully electric-only range will be a long time coming without further government intervention.
