2023 Audi e-tron Performance

所有削减e-tron是由年代的水平ame setup: two asynchronous electric motors propel the car forward, with the one on the rear axle doing most of the work, most of the time. The idea is that this will give the e-tron a rear-biased drive, resulting in sharper handling. Together, the two motors can produce up to 402 hp and 490 lb-ft of torque - enough to launch the heavy SUV from 0 to 60 mph in a respectable 5.5 seconds. Top speed is 124 mph, so it's certainly not the fastest electric vehicle out there, but as a family car that is aimed more at buyers with a focus on practicality, this is perfectly fine. Naturally, there's no gearbox, so power delivery is smooth and instantly available, but you will need to drive the car for some time to acclimatize to the regenerative braking system if you've never been at the helm of an EV before. Although it will deplete the battery at a much faster rate, the electric Audi e-tron has the ability to tow up to 4,000 pounds when properly equipped.

As mentioned above, the Audi e-tron is powered by two electric motors. The one on the front axle produces 181 hp and 228 lb-ft of torque, while the one on the rear axle serves up 220 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. Combined, they deliver a total of 355 hp and 414 lb-ft of torque. Switch to Sport mode and bury your right foot in the firewall and you'll unlock a Boost mode that increases output to 402 hp and 490 lb-ft of torque for around eight seconds. As expected, this delivery is sharp, and it takes no time for the e-tron to get moving from a standstill, making it easy to get away from the lights quickly. Passing power on the freeway is also easy to access, thanks to the system's lack of a traditional transmission. Just plant the gas and you're on your way. However, due to the tremendous bulk of this machine, it only ever feels quick - never fast. Still, that's not what a luxury SUV is about, and the e-tron does a great job of keeping wind and tire noise from entering the cabin, particularly the top trim's double-glazed windows.

Audi's claims for mileage and range are not class-leading, but they're not bad either. The EPA estimates 78/79/79 MPGE on city/highway/combined cycles, with a range of 226 miles. It's not too far off from the I-Pace's 234 miles of range, but the Tesla Model X still leads the pack with 348 miles.

With a 150 kW DC fast charger, Audi says you can recharge the e-tron to give around 50 miles range in just 10 minutes. From flat to 80 percent charge will take around half an hour on the same outlet, while a regular 240V household outlet will fully recharge the 95 kWh battery in nine hours.
