Audi Electric Cars

The latest Audi electric cars are exquisite to behold, and range from crossover SUVs to luxurious sedans. The major benefit of not using fuel goes without saying, but the marque’s all-electric vehicles present buyers with enjoyable and poised performance dynamics, luxurious ride quality, modern looks, and excellent safety and reliability standards. While they may be a little on the pricey side, they are also value-packed and still more reasonable than rivals from many other EV brands out there. Ultimately, Audi electric cars are designed for those who value quality, practicality, and lowering emissions.

Audi Electric Vehicles

Audi’s all-electric range is quite comprehensive, with various SUV, crossover, and Sportback variants making up the selection, along with a genuine sports car in the form of the GT.

• e-tron: In 2019, Audi presented the e-tron as its first electric vehicle and positioned it for the midsize luxury SUV classification. For 2021, the 402-horsepower, 490-lb-ft dual-motor setup utilizes a single-speed automatic transmission to manage outputs ceded to all four wheels. Though it is significantly heavier than a regular SUV, and consequently rather firm on the road with a limited range, it is still an appealing alternative to regular gas engine-powered SUVs. The Sportback versions of the standard e-tron also bring some sleeker styling to the table, albeit at the cost of some rear cabin headroom. But there’s even more on offer in this nameplate, with e-tron S versions to both the regular e-tron and the Sportback. The S-named variations will be the first volume-production EVs to feature three electric motors; S-monikered configurations will receive unique styling queues and much more power on tap.
• e-tron GT: A rarity in the classification, the e-tron GT is a fastback-styled four-door sedan that will bear an aggressively sporty demeanor and the bite to match its bark. Beneath its jaunty surface, a 522-hp electric powertrain will propel all four of its wheels, allowing for a 3.9-second sprint to sixty from off-the-line. For those who seek something a little more exhilarating, there will also be a performance-focused RS version. Audi claims that the GT will be its latest design icon for the new all-electric car era.
• Q4 e-tron: Scheduled to debut later in 2021, the compact Q4 e-tron will be a little smaller than the familiar e-tron and will be based on VW’s MEB platform. A pair of electric motors and an 82 kWh battery pack will avail it with a 6.2-second 0 to 60 mph sprint time and a range of around 280 miles. It boasts an ultra-modern aesthetic outside and in, and along with a host of contemporary specifications, will also have Audi’s latest MMI infotainment system. It will also be made available in the now-expected Sportback variant, for the sloping-roofline.
