E-tron Q4?
- sliken 8y agoE-tron is $74,800 and a range of 204 miles. Model Y starts at $48k and has a range of 300 miles. Doesn't seem like a fair comparison, does it? A fairer comparison would be the model S. The Model S base is $78,000 ($3,200 more), but has a range of 285 miles (1.4x the Audi) and 0-60 in 4.0 seconds instead of 5.5 seconds for the Audi. The biggest issue is the Audi seems to have very poor efficiency. So you need a model S size battery (95kw) to compete with the model Y (75 kwh or so). Or you compete with the Tesla model S with a 100 kwh battery and end up with only 71% of the range.
- Brakenshire 8y agoI'm talking about the E-Tron Q4, which is a different model from the E-Tron.
- sliken 8y agoAh, interesting, it does look much more competitive. More range, less cost, and better acceleration, looks like a direct Model Y competitor. However it's still called a concept vehicle by Audi, couldn't find any mention on a planned availability date.
- Brakenshire 8y agoThis says late next year, although looks like it’s just a briefing rather than a formal announcement: https://www.whatcar.com/news/2020-audi-q4-e-tron-electric-suv-revealed-price-specs-and-release-date/n19003 https://www.whatcar.com/news/2020-audi-q4-e-tron-electric-su... No formal price yet either so could be significantly more expensive.
