Awesome Audi, Range could be problematic

The Audi Etron Prestige has a beautiful and well equipped interior with advanced technologies. Front seats massage, heads up display is nice, digital displays are brilliant. Air suspension provides smooth quiet ride. Car even has an inflatable spare tire. All in all an excellent Audi SUV. Major downside is its range which makes it suitable only as a daily driver around town, but with 150 mile range at 75 mph in cold weather or even 180 miles in warm weather, this car is not able to drive on highways very far. Not many people can afford Etron as city car and another SUV for highway driving. Further there are still major gaps in Electrify America chargers in northern California and in Wyoming/Utah/Montana. For most of the USA, no ev should have a range less than 300 miles. If you can live with its range limitation, definitely better equipped and much higher quality than a Tesla.

Battery Life Improved

just got my eTron 3 weeks ago, and a week later got called for an update. Also installed a Juicebox 40 amp charger at home, and now get between 238 and 241 on a full charge. The update was an efficiency increase in the electrical systems I read in an article. So, happy with 238 to 241. Nice improvement. I expect Audi will be getting that message out to owners soon, if not already. Check with your dealer if you haven't been contacted. I'm in Boise area.

Great time to get into an e-tron!

If you're in the market for a luxury electric vehicle, you owe it to yourself to check out the Audi e-tron! The specials they're running these days are out of this world: easily $23K off (including federal tax credit) and simultaneously 0% at 72 months. It sure seems like they're dumping the 2019s but not because there's anything wrong with them. The biggest gripe people have about the e-tron is the range (and to a lesser extent what etron means in French!). Well, guess what? The 2020/2021 models have almost the same range (they're getting a small bump in range but only because they're deactivating the front motor when cruising). This car is loaded with luxury and technology features that you simply cannot find elsewhere (with the possible exception of the Jaguar iPace and Mercedes EQC). The car drives amazingly well for such a heavy and tall vehicle. Push the pedal to the metal and you will sink into your seat. I personally really like Audis (this is my fifth one) but I always preferred the sportier coupes, convertibles, and (as a last resort) sedans. I did not expect to enjoy driving the e-tron as much as I am. Everything in it just works which is something I cannot say for the 2020 Audi A4/S4/A5/S5 models. Did I mention it has a ton of features? You name it, it has it and it's done beautifully: dual motors (front/rear) with torque vectoring, Adaptive air suspension, 360 degree cameras, dual screens (infotainment + climate controls) where the lower screen turns into a keyboard or accessory screen depending on what's going on in the main screen, Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, Ambient Lighting, Electronic Location-Aware Garage Opener (supports 10 or so doors), Integrated Toll Module, Electronic Seatbelt pretensioners, B&O 3D sound system, panoramic sunroof with sunshade, heated/ventilated/12-way 6-types-of-massage front seats, automatic soft-closing doors, air ionizer and fragrance dispenser, rear side sunshades, prepped for trailer hitch, handsfree power tailgate operation ... I seriously find new stuff every time I drive it. Just to address the elephant in the room, I did consider the Tesla models (S, X, and Y). I did not like the minimalist interior finish, the lack of common features and option packages, the apparent lack of quality control, and lastly the unyielding pricing, even on used models. I wish the company well but it's simply not a great value proposition. You're paying too much for not enough car whereas it's the other way around with the e-tron. The higher range and expansive supercharging network are definitely welcome but a) unless you are a road warrior or b) you prefer that the car drive you, consider the Audi e-tron which is a joy to drive and be in.

Great tech and extremely comfortable.

The Edmunds review is on point. This vehicle looks good, has outstanding technology and refined interior, and excellent build quality. It’s an extremely comfortable ride - quiet and smooth even at high speeds on busy highways. I personally prefer the lighter touch on the regen breaking that allows you to coast and maintain a steady ride. While this isn’t like driving a race car like the highest performing telsa’s, the e-tron has smooth and quick acceleration that is easily more than sufficient for daily driving in any scenario. This drives more like a car than SUV and has a low, evenly spread center of gravity. One other factor in comparing to other EV options is the cost. After the discounts and federal tax credit and any local rebates, the cost is closer to a current Tesla model 3, but is substantially larger, more comfortable, and much higher quality interior and build. A Tesla model X is substantially more expensive. The range projections have been accurate and I’ve actually gotten slightly more than listed. Obviously would be nice to have longer peak range, but 200 miles is sufficient for 99%+ of daily driving. Incredibly easy to charge overnight in the garage 1-2 times / week. Overall, this is an outstanding vehicle for the net cost.

Like Driving The Future

In the future, electric vehicles will be as common as automatic transmissions have become, and the Audi e-tron may be remembered as one of the cars that paved the way. It’s not revolutionary like Teslas were, it’s not a noble struggle like some other EVs, it’s simply a refined, reliable car that happens to run on electrons. Audi’s first all-electric vehicle falls between the Q5 and Q7 in size and feel, except for the quiet hum of its motors on each axle, and its alarmingly smooth acceleration. It has the luxury of power in reserve at all speeds. The build quality is Audi solid, and the combination of sound insulation and air suspension give the cabin a quiet, restful feel. I find myself wanting to escape the world to the comfort of a long drive. You can even use the Audi app to set the car to your preferred temperature before you step in. The battery range isn’t close to that of any Tesla long-range model, but if you have access to a charger at home, work or in your neighborhood, you’ll have more than enough juice for regular driving. For road trips, use PlugShare to plan where you’ll stop to charge. Audi offers two years of free charging at the Electrify America and Electrify Canada networks. There aren’t many of these stations where I live, but the charging is a blazing fast 150kW, and did I mention it’s free? Like many new EV drivers I became obsessed with the ins and outs of charging. Once you’ve found your rhythm of where, when and how you charge, though, range anxiety fades away. The e-tron will disappoint anyone looking for a movement or a manifesto. It’s simply a powerful, comfortable luxury vehicle that costs very little to fuel and puts zero emissions into the air. It’s the future. If you can manage the high price, enjoy it.
