Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback buyers will get two chargers
Prior to their launch in India, Audi has revealed the charging options for its e-tron and e-tron Sportback models. Every customer will receive two chargers, including an 11kW compact charger and a wall-box AC charger. Audi dealerships will also be equipped with 50kW DC fast chargers. Early bird customers can avail complimentary charging, while EVs of other brands will have to pay a fee.
The Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback have a chrome-finished grille, narrow Matrix LED headlamps, a muscular bonnet, a full-width wrap-around taillight, and a wide air vent. On the sides, the SUVs are flanked by charging ports on the front fenders, blacked-out B-pillars, and designer multi-spoke alloy wheels. Instead of conventional ORVMs, there are cameras that relay the live feed to the screens inside.
Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback offer a 5-seater cabin with 4-zone auto climate control, contoured seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a multifunctional steering wheel. The vehicles house two touchscreens, including a 10.1-inch display placed above an 8.8-inch unit. They also provide support for the "myAudi Connect" app that shows information regarding the availability of the chargers on the customer's route and other related details.
Audi e-tron 50 has a 71kW battery pack and delivers a range of up to 379km, while the e-tron 55 packs a 95kW battery and promises a range of up to 484km. The former delivers an output of 308hp/540Nm, while the latter churns out 402hp/664Nm. Both the versions are equipped with permanent all-wheel-drive, adaptive air suspension, and progressive steering to ensure better performance.
Bookings for Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback in India are already open for a token amount of Rs. 5 lakh and they are expected to carry a price tag of around Rs. 1 crore (ex-showroom). The duo will take on Mercedes-Benz EQC and Jaguar I-PACE.
