AUDI E-TRON SUV EV REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Audi e-tron SUV is reviewed as an elegant and well-built electric vehicle, praised for its exceptional driving dynamics, silent operation, and comfortable ride, particularly due to its electric all-wheel drive and air suspension. The reviewer highlights the precise steering and the car's ability to handle corners with surprising agility for its size, making it one of the best electric vehicles to drive currently. However, significant drawbacks are noted. The virtual mirrors are deemed a major technological failure, considered dangerous and distracting due to their placement and visibility issues, especially in sunlight. The vehicle's range is also a point of disappointment, falling short of expectations and competitors, with a real-world figure around 300-350 km (180-210 miles) and higher than desired consumption (26-30 kWh/100km). Additionally, the use of animal skin in the interior is criticized as a flaw for a supposedly sustainable vehicle. The platform, based on MLB architecture rather than a dedicated EV design, is also mentioned as a compromise.
