AUDI E-TRON 70MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The Audi e-tron Prestige underwent a 70 mph highway range test, aiming to surpass its EPA estimate of 204 miles. Despite its substantial weight and battery, the vehicle achieved a real-world highway range of 188.4 miles under optimal conditions (70-73 degrees Fahrenheit, no wind). The reviewer noted the e-tron's comfortable ride and advanced features like the heads-up display and intuitive infotainment system. However, the "guess-o-meter" proved inaccurate, predicting a lower range due to previous hard driving. A minor software bug causing the active cruise control to occasionally disengage was also mentioned. The reviewer expressed interest in re-testing the e-tron with aero wheels, anticipating a potential 10-15 mile range improvement. The vehicle's charging port mechanism was highlighted as a positive feature.
