Video Summary
-The E-Tron S has 370kW of power and nearly 1,000 Nm of torque from three motors, and it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.- Australian pricing for the regular SUV starts at $168,400, while the Sportback starts at $175,400.
- Both are powered by the same tri-motor setup, enabling 370kW in boost mode and 973 Nm of torque in the same setting.
- The battery inside the Audi E-Tron S has a capacity of 95 kWh gross, which results in about 86 kWh of usable space.
- The official electric range varies between 413 and 418 kilometers, depending on the body type.
- Other features include a clever rear axle setup that enables dynamic EV driving, air suspension, and a massive energy recuperating performance brake system; all of which are standard.
- E-Tron S models get a unique front bumper and wide body extensions, which are normally reserved for RS grade models only.
- The headlights contain about 1.3 million micro mirrors that adjust the light in all different ways possible. The resolution is so high that the car can draw pictures and graphics, and even write text, on the road in front of you.
- It has two charging ports, can handle up to 150 kW DC fast charging, and enables 410 km on a full charge.
- The interior is riddled with technology, including screens for infotainment, air conditioning, and the digital instrument cluster. There's also haptic feedback everywhere to simulate buttons.
- Plenty of space in the back, with 4 air vents, 2 extra zones of climate control, cup holders, and USB-C ports.
- I expected a little more from this car.
- Audi has calibrated it to manage its battery life. The car doesn't give all of its power, but it gives enough to give you a smile, but it doesn't give you the full fat experience.
- On a nice road, it's still an engaging car to drive. It turns in nicely, steering feels good and it’s quick enough. Audi's calibration makes it an EV with a steering style that is quick and intuitive.
- If you're looking for a luxury car at around 200,000 dollars, it's hard to pick against this one.
