The new Audi e-tron provides faimilarity for the EV market, carrying over the refinement of the German automaker’s design.
With the clear focus on a cleaner, greener future and as the amount of EV vehicles arriving on British roads only grows, manufacturers are competing to provide the best solution to consumer demands. The new Audi e-tron takes a moderate approach – it doesn’t look to reinvent the wheel, rather, gently persuades drivers to come around to an electric future with a similar experience to what you can find in their gas-guzzlers. As such, the e-tron SUV provides familiarity and carries over the refinement of Audi’s design.
Driving The e-tron
There is nothing revolutionary with the e-tron in terms of performance, reflecting the EV market’s trend towards simplicity to reassure hesitant customers. Driving is quiet, smooth and straightforward, and comes in four modes; Off-road, Efficient, Dynamic and Comfort.
Efficient modes allows the e-tron to run on optimum battery regulation, so don’t be surprised when the car behaves responsibly. On the other side of the spectrum, Dynamic mode produces a more lively drive that unleashes the full potential of the electric motor. Meanwhile, Off-road mode triggers the suspension to rise 3.5cm for additional clearance, and Comfort is a pleasant default.
As is the nature of SUVs, Audi’s e-tron is a heavy car, but holds a strong balance due to its low centre of gravity. Propelled by 48V of electric power, its handling is surprisingly excellent in comparison to the e-tron’s competitors, and as with all Audis, the level of comfort you are afforded is second to none.
e-tron Interior Styling
For the e-tron, Audi designers have taken the cabin of the Q7 and styled it to appear like belongs in year 2030. This hasn’t come at a cost to practicality, however, as thoughtful touches such as stowaway areas for cables in the boot keeps things tidy. The cabin is littered with screens, five to be precise – two for the central console, a dash screen for Audi’s peerless Virtual Cockpit, and two in place of the traditional wing mirrors. The driver’s seat provides an abundance of adjustability to ensure its occupant is able to interact with all five screens with minimal effort. Though the wing mirrors take some getting used to, especially in strong sun, the digitised central console is simple and concise – easy for those with even the most basic of tech knowledge to get their head around.
Should I Get an Audi e-tron Lease?
The Audi e-tron is a shoe-in for performing well in the EV SUV market, because of how closely it stays with the traditional Audi design. What’s more, it has some major advantages above its rivals, being far more practical than the Jaguar I-Pace, more familiar to the undecided driver in comparison to such models as Tesla’s Model X and more exciting both inside and outside than the Q7. In short, an Audi e-tron lease is a safe bet for a quality electric car.
While the basic edition has everything you need to enjoy Audi comforts, the step-up option, the 55 Launch Edition provides a whole new level of aesthetics and safety features. With this model, you will be equipped with 21” alloys, super cool Matrix LED headlights, remote climate control, a panoramic roof and adaptive cruise control.
