Audi has finally shown off the 2019 E-Tron absent all the cladding and camouflage. There have been some notable changes from the concept including a revised grille and lighting. Inside the cabin its's nearly identical to what's found in the Q8, A8 and A7. With two electric motors its power output has been estimated to be around 355hp and 414lb-ft of torque in normal mode. There is however an overboost function which can operate for up to 8 seconds which brings those numbers up to 402 and 490. Its not cheap however to buy into and the entry level Premium Plus starts at $75,795. The top rung First Edition model will start at $87,695. Audi is currently taking pre orders with a $1,000 deposit and a configurator is available online.
Its a great looking SUV, with some impressive powertrain numbers. I do feel like its been priced a bit aggressively, but its obviously not an entry level model. Also have we got a confirmed range yet? Numbers seem to be all over the place?

Somewhere between 200-250 is what I would expect for real world numbers. And the pricing is fairly similar to what we're seeing with both the I Pace and Model X.
So far it seems like that number isn't official and might be a slight scale back of what they should be producing. The Chevy Bolt easily meets that range, close to 250 last I checked.
Audi as a premium brand launching a new model would do well closer to 300.
While the E-Tron may have less initial range than key rivals, they have mentioned several times that a vast amount of range can be recuperated through their unique regen system. They've said that range can be boosted by up to 30% if owners make proper use of these systems.
I think its quite possible for that to increase as habits improve and owners do some serious hypermiling. Once you know your routes very well, finding more efficiencies can't be that hard.
Hi All,
I just got my e-tron last week and noticed that my battery never gets anywhere 204 miles on a full charge. I was only charging up to 80% as recommended and then tried to go to 100% last night. In the morning, at 100%, my car is still only showing 183 miles max.
I understand that real...

I'm from the UK and recently had the experience of driving 260 miles in the new Audi e-tron, Audi's first electric car. The range in this car fully charged was only 220 miles, which is already disappointing as at £80,000 the equivalent model X would've made the journey without even...
Hello, I have recently took delivery of a 2019 Audi Etron. I am wondering if it is safe to take it though the car wash. Just wanted to read the general opinion in the forum.
Thanks a lot.
Anyone here already have a clever license plate for their e-Tron? Anyone getting one? Let's gather and post all the custom e-Tron plates here.
Also, I'd love to hear ideas on a clever plate, so please share any great ideas.
I saw on Twitter that this e-Tron owner has "MODEL X" for their...
