You have to give credit to Audi: the name e-tron (which is intentionally spelled in lowercase) immediately communicates what to expect from this amazing electric car model. Whereas other brands can get lost in trying to incorporate as many flowery phrases and superfluous designs onto their car names as possible, one look at the 2022 Audi e-tron communicates a simple message: Audi knows electric vehicles, and this car is proof.
While the phrase purely electric SUV might sound like an oxymoron, the 2022 Audi e-tron combines the comfort and features of a larger car with the grace and finesse of an electric powertrain to create a vehicle that’s truly greater than the sum of all its parts. Since first driving off the assembly line, the e-tron has represented a bold step for Audi’s push into the world of e-mobility.
To understand why this car is such a breakthrough for electric vehicles, let’s take a look at the 3 Ps: Power, Performance, and Presentation.
Power
Let’s start with the numbers. The 2022 Audi e-tron features two electric motors, one mounted on the front axle and one on the rear. When combined, they create a whopping 355 horsepower, which is complimented by 414 lb-ft. of torque. If that weren’t enough already, there’s an option to put the transmission into Sport mode which ups the output to an incredible 402 horsepower (with 490 lb-ft. of torque).
If that sounds like a lot, it’s because it is.
Performance
With an approximate driving range of 222 miles per charge, the e-tron’s adaptive battery packs mean that you’ll be able to fit in a full week worth of driving on a single at-home charge. On that note, each e-tron features a specialty 150-kW fast charger that lets you top off your car’s battery pack in under an hour.
If you’ve ever driven a new Audi car before, you’ll know that their handling is exceptionally smooth. In particular, the 2022 Audi e-tron is designed to make the most of the car’s fully electric power in order to provide responsive turning and flexible braking. This handling is further complemented by features like adaptive cruise control and self-parking assist.
Presentation
Nobody buys an SUV just for the front seat. The big appeal in these cars comes from both the space you’re given and all of the awesome features that the space can be used for. Audi drivers won’t be surprised to find out that the e-tron is uniquely designed to deliver on both of these things.
One of the first things that drivers will notice is Audi’s signature Virtual Cockpit. Featuring two cutting edge touchscreen displays, this system is designed to provide drivers with real-time driving information and infotainment access without distracting from the road.
Audi are also experts at putting the “utility” in “‘sports utility vehicle” by offering an awesome amount of legroom, which benefits further from the minimally intrusive underfloor battery pack. This means that sitting in the back seat isn’t a punishment on long drives. In fact, drivers can look forward to a whopping 29 cubic feet in the back row, which increases to 57 cubic feet with the seats folded down. Forget the stereotype about electric cars being compact and crowded: these dimensions put most trucks to shame.
