Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:- The review compares the 2019 Audi e-tron and a newer Q8 e-tron, providing insights for prospective buyers.
- The reviewer loves her 2019 e-tron, which is fully specced and has been modified with a black optics package.
- The 2019 e-tron year does not come all blacked out. Later years do come all blacked out.
- She enjoys the driving experience and recommends it to others already owning a car.
- Interior features like massaging seats, sound system, ambient lighting and lighted seatbelt buckles are a major reason for enjoying the car.
- The original wheels are heavy, which contributes to inefficiency.
- The newer Q8 e-tron offers about 60 miles more range than the 2019 model with a net battery of 106kWh, up from 86.5kWh in the old model.
- From behind, there are little differences between the e-trons. The front end, however, is very different.
- Newer cars have double charge ports.
- The double pane glass contributes to making it feel like a bank vault on the inside.
- A quick steering ratio gives the new car a boosted feel; the steering is quicker overall, for a sportier feel compared to the "floatier" old model.
- However, to the reviewer, this makes the steering less comfortable to drive.
- The shift paddle materials differ between the models: the new one has plastic, while the 2019 has metal.
- While the newer cars are sporty and have a more aerodynamic design, the reviewer has a preference for the older e-tron styling.
- The pricing in the used market for these cars is mind-blowing, at about $40,000. It makes more economical sense, so a recommendation is made to target prestige trim levels on the used market and obtain an extended warranty.
- Drive train is mainly the same, but power and torque is less on the newer version.
