The electric vehicle space, which had been dominated by Tesla for years on end, is starting to see entries from German heavyweights such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi. While the Mercedes-Benz EQC made a bold statement at the start of the month, Audi’s full electric E Tron SUV is out to steal the limelight with its global unveiling set for 18th September 2018 at 07:30 (GST).
Based on previous announcements, the E Tron is armed with a 95-kWh battery pack and two electric motors generating a total output of 430 horsepower. Matching the numbers of several performance SUVs, the E Tron takes less than six seconds to hit 100km/h from a standstill and flaunts a top speed of over 200 km/h.
Taking on the Tesla Model X, the Jaguar I-Pace, and the Mercedes-Benz EQC, the Audi E Tron uses an intelligent regenerative braking system to deliver up to 400-kilometers on a single charge. Beating the current record holder Tesla, the E Tron’s batteries can also be charged from 0 to 80% in 30 minutes when using a fast charger, making a stronger case for EV adoption.
Marking the start of a new era, the E Tron with its flexible architecture allows the German brand to consider EVs in several segments and numerous categories.
