AUDI E-TRON SUV EXTENSIVE TOUR AND DRIVING REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Audi e-tron SUV is presented as a refined and capable electric vehicle, closely resembling the Q8 in its design and interior appointments. The reviewer highlights its excellent build quality, comfortable seating, and a surprisingly agile driving experience that belies its size, attributing this to the electric all-wheel-drive system and precise steering. The virtual mirrors are singled out as a significant technological misstep, deemed distracting and a waste of money. While the interior boasts modern screens and features, the reliance on animal skin surfaces is noted as a drawback. The vehicle demonstrates strong regenerative braking capabilities, with the potential to regain significant range on downhill descents. Off-road capability is also touched upon, showcasing the adjustable air suspension and the benefits of electric torque vectoring. However, the predicted range of 360 km from a full charge is considered somewhat limited compared to competitors, and the energy consumption is comparable to other large EVs.
