What's it like in the REAL WORLD? | 2020 Audi E-Tron Review

If you have not heard, the Audi E-Tron is Audi's first electric SUV. It is their attempt at offering a more traditional & premium offering over the Tesla Model X. However, with sub-par range specs, adequate acceleration, and a less immersive EV experience than Tesla, does the E-Tron truly offer an equally unique experience to the leader in the segment? Well I took the E-Tron on a range test to see if the numbers are correct. On top of that I show you every detail about this EV to help YOU find out if this is the right choice for you!

Great review. As someone interested in purchasing an Audi E-Tron, it gave me a straight up review of what it would be like to actually own the car. Car looks great and I think there is an E-Tron in my future.

Saw this car in real life and it looks amazing

Great review! Thanks! The range increases the slower you drive and the more stops there are - it's an EV with substantial re-gen ;-) I get about 200 miles range on highways at 80 mph average speed with my E-tron (live in Europe), car set in Comfort mode, normal winds and around 50 degrees outside. This range is substantially increased in the city and in warmer weather. Love the car, but build quality is really not up to what I expected. The absolutely best thing about the car is the noise level. I get 68 db at 80 mph on Northern European highways with really noisy asphalt surfaces. That is Bentley sound levels. Never experienced that quietness before in any car. (Should be said I used to drive a Volvo V90 T8 plug-in hybrid which is known to be a little bit noisy.). Adding to this is charging speeds which is super good - about 150 kW from 10-80 % which is far far better than a Model X or an i-Pace.

Forrest - I'm surprised that you did not try, or mention the voice commands that are available with the E-Tron - and the Alexa integration. Telling the car to adjust the temperature is easier and safer than messing around on a screen to locate the controls. Just a heads up. Thanks for the review!

Great job with this review!


Small note: you actually can run the AC/heater while charging, but you will have to start it through pre-conditioning (under the Climate menu). It will then cool/heat the cabin to desired temperature for 30 minutes, even if plugged in. Obviously this is not the best solution, but it does in fact work. This can also be done by using the phone app.

Tesla Model X
E-Tron
I-Pace
Mercedes-Benz EQC


Choose one & why!

EDIT: Check out this video of the new E-Tron Sportback S! Should I try & review it??

great review. Gorgeous interior. I saw E-tron the other day in a very unique blue color

[earlmarket]

You have missed some items about the e-tron. The one you have should of had soft close doors. The center console arm rest does slide forward. The Frunk has a space under the storage space for tire repair items. I have also seen where the head lights will illuminate different patterns on entry and exit.

those sounds at 16:40 were kinda nice (also loved the review)

[greyphantome]

People need to ask thes questions before purachsing any electric cars 1) How many charges does it take before the battery starts to slowly degrade ? 2) What is the cost of replacement batteries? 3) What is the environmental impact of discarded batteries ?
The battery capacity decreases over time

[davidhadley]

Hey Forrest, great review. I can't believe what you had to pay to charge this eTron. $28 for a full charge seems kind of outrageos.

[anjie]

Looks like a cool car . Thank you for your actual driving review. Very helpful.

[CSAFMedia]

This is the best range test I've seen on Youtube for the Etron. What percentage were you highway vs. city?

[BERNIEO]

Great review, couldn't let the ol' girl watch because she'd want it, thanks

[SSS-mpth]

Excellent review, will likely pick up a 2019 Prestige soon.

[MrSpuzzz]

Impressed that there was no noticeable “vampire” drain during your stop in Palm Springs. A minor annoyance you have to live with in a Tesla. A fine looking car - rooting for all EVs

[chollister]

I’m a big proponent of electric propulsion however looking at those numbers there’s definitely progress to be made . I drive approximately 60k miles a year, my current daily driver gets about 34 mpg at 80mph on the highway . With a 12. Gallon tank I am approaching 400 miles range on about $24 in gas . At this point I just can’t justify going electric .

[redgydecorte]

Honest review. .you know what your talking about.Belgium has some other issues charging.

[itseveryonelese]

Really helpful review. Will be interesting to see how reliable the etron is compared to Tesla and Jaguar...

[paull]

The way I drive my Audis and Porsches I would get 50% of the range in a Tesla or other electric car. A range test done on a highway after midnight on a Tesla showed a 26% loss in range by going 70 instead of 60 and i usually do 85 to 100+.
