Electrifying different - the electric SUV Audi e-tron 2018

Tesla Motors has been the market leader for electric vehicles for years and also serves the luxury segment here. With Audi, a new challenger emerges on stage, who wants to prevail here. Already Mercedes and Jaguar have discovered potential in this segment and would like to address new customer groups. The Audi e-tron (Incidentally, e-tron is a separate product brand with which Audi has been recording all new developments in the field of electric and plug-in hybrids since the year of 2009) is the first model of the Ingolstadt, which should also ensure success in this area.

The Audi e-tron and its features

An 4,90-meter SUV with a trunk that holds a volume of 600 liters provides easy space and comfort for 5 passengers. Audi does not want to offer a niche vehicle, but to convince the general public of the e-tron. The Audi e-tron is the group's first car that runs completely electrically. This posed a major problem for the developers in advance. SUVs are currently very popular with customers, which is why they sell well and therefore offer a high sales potential. But this vehicle class is in contrast to the actual goals that you want to achieve with an electric car. A sustainable and environmentally friendly method of transportation should be these cars. But such a vehicle is known as a fuel-guzzler. With this model, however, the developers were able to unite these contradictions, which is why the Audi e-tron could become a bestseller.

Clear differences to the competition

This is how the engineers managed to develop a car with more space in the footwell. The flat vehicle floor is responsible for this. There is no transmission tunnel, which leads to loss of space. Due to the intelligent and consistent design, it has come to large space savings, which is why there is another storage space under the hood, which includes 60 liter. Here, for example, the owner can easily stow the necessary charging cable. For other models, this is stowed under the trunk floor, which is why the user reaches it poorly. If you are traveling with the Audi e-tron, you do not need to unload the storage space before you can recharge the battery.

The Audi e-tron has a great performance profile

Energy recovery during braking generates energy that accounts for approximately 30 percent of the possible range. This is about over 400 kilometers. The battery with a storage volume of 95 kWh is partly responsible for this. The second engines, which together produce 408 PS power, provide outstanding sprint capabilities. From a standstill, the Audi e-tron takes less than six seconds to cross the 100 km / h mark. The maximum speed in the e-tron is up to a maximum speed of 200 km / h, followed by an electronic speed limit.
