Well, at least not if you’re looking at an all-wheel drive SUV and other matching attributes. However, the Audi importer managed to reach an agreement with the factory – and …..
“You can really get such an Audi e tron for 59,900 euros with all taxes,” says Normunds Avotiņš.
This is an Audi e-tron 50 with a 71 kilowatt hour battery and decent equipment.
“Audi e tron is a high-end Audi. This means that both the design and interior design, driver interfaces and trim are of the highest standard available in Audi cars. ”
And that in turn means that life here takes place on screens, most of which are touch-sensitive. There are no other things here than usual in Audi.
“I remember that when this e-tron came out, there was a bit of criticism about the direction switch – it’s not handy. It’s a habit. It’s very convenient. In the drive, in reverse. You don’t even have to look at it and take unnecessary action. “
That’s why the big e tron is also called big, because everything is big here – the cabin, the center console and even the door pockets.
“Don’t forget that this is an electric SUV. Whatever the price, it will have all-wheel drive. In Q4 it is not, it can also be with RWD. It will always have air suspension and off-road and off-road driving modes. ”
Of course, all this consumes energy, so sooner or later you have to look for a way to charge the battery built into the floor.
“For conventional cars, the fuel filler neck is in the same place on the rear wing, depending on the manufacturer and model on the right or left side. Electric cars are more complicated and fun because the sockets can be on the front, back, side. They are on the front wing of the Audi e tron, on both sides. ”
However, the standard socket is only on the left side and should be used with fast or DC chargers. The socket on the right side only fits into the wallbox.
“A very important aspect is charging. The big e tron is not one of those latest EVs, the reach is mediocre. In winter, you can drive 250 km with a full battery. It requires planning. ”
E tron’s little brother Q4 turned out to be so in demand that the queue was long, but this Belgian-made giant can be received in a few months, if not a few weeks.
If Audi e tron’s values were to fit in three words, they would be comfort, prestige and technology. There is no question about the first two points, but what do we expect from technology?
“It is clear that this story is not just about ecology and green technology. It’s also about speed and dynamics, after all we have 230 kW, they are 313 hp, which is normal V6 diesel power. It doesn’t make much difference. Put it in dynamic mode, switch the knob to S, and pedal to the floor. Opa! Really pressed into the backrest. ”
Verdict
Judging by the mileage, the Audi e tron is still a city and suburban car. However, 200 – 250 km is not 800 – 1000, which can be done in one go with diesel. And yet. If an entrepreneur is now starting to wonder whether to buy a Q7 with diesel as usual, but something more alternative, greener, more unusual, then here we are!
