Practical and simple. However the range is embarrassing. 212 mile range isn't even good enough for an anxiety free 3 hour round trip.

 

[Giannis]

It does look good! Range is not enough, though!

Is that WLTP ?

There are longer range versions -

But performances seems just sad! Seems to be a new German EV trend, sacrifice performance to get a better headline range figure. Seems same with EQS.

For reference, a 2.0L Q5 TDI does 0-62mph in 7.6sec. At the end of the day, it's an early adopter product. Anyone who's underwhelmed by the specs can always wait for better specs in 2-3 years.

The interior packaging is fantastic though and I like that they kept the interior simple and familiar.

What is puzzling is that with EVs, you can (to an extend) have the cake and eat it too when it comes to range and performance - with dual motors, you can use one motor (usually rear) for acceleration and the other for cruising efficiency. So strange that none of the German EVs (except maybe Taycan) really takes advantage of that.

Disappointed. Especially comparing with the other car launched today: the Polestar 2.

The maximum 160 km/h is like seeing a typing error

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

I like that Audi is reverting back to more organic sculpturing, though it does seem that they are starting to overdo the 'styling' a bit. The wheel arches appear to be quite odd in particular.

 

[Sunny]

BMW and Mercedes could learn something from Audi how to do a grill on EV without making it look completely psychotic.

 

[Deleted member 1071]

It's nice enough. Nothing more, nothing less. Absolutely predictable. Mediocre range and hefty surcharge versus its' MEB siblings (ID 4, Enyaq) dampen my enthusiasm. And I ask: "Are the 4 rings really worth the extra cost in this particular case ?".

I agree, it is striking at first to soon seem like a resource used in an exaggerated or rude way

 

[Mick Briesgau]

Top Speed 160 km/h is pathetic...
On a free AB you get blown away by every other car, even a VW Polo

 

[Levi68]

top speed is low for germany, but with that range it would be dumb to drive that fast.

acceleration is slow for the power.

 

[WBarnes]

Wow, they must have heard me ranting about SUVs.

 

[A.P.]

This car is another electrical piece of shit from Audi.
