    Audi e-tron: Powertrain details

    Both versions of the e-tron use two electric motors, one on the front axle and one on the rear. The entry-level e-tron 50 puts out 313hp and 540Nm of torque, which is enough to complete the 0-100kph dash in a claimed 6.8seconds. The 50 draws power from a 71kW battery and has a range of 264-379 km (WLTP combined).

    The higher-spec e-tron 55 and e-tron Sportback 55 produce 408hp and 664Nm of torque and do 0-100kph in a claimed 5.7seconds. Both variants draw power from a larger 95kW battery and have a range of 359-484 km (WLTP combined). Power is channelled to all four wheels via the e-quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. All e-trons will come with a 11kW AC Home Charger and will be capable of up to 150 kW DC fast charging.

    Audi e-tron: rivals and expected price

    Once launched, the Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback will rival the Mercedes-Benz EQC and Jaguar I-Pace in India. Considering the Audi SUVs will be CBU models, they will be expensive. Audi is expected to price the e-tron over the Rs 1 crore mark (ex-showroom, India), with the Sportback version being slightly more expensive still.
