Audi's refreshed E-tron arrives after five years, bringing improvements in tech and design. With increased battery capacity, improved charging speeds, and dynamic enhancements, it's ready to take on key rivals. 📷: AUDI AG
The external visual changes introduce some EV-ness into Audi’s increasingly expressive design language, to the extent that even non-brand aficionadoes should be able to spot that change is afoot. There’s a new grille, the Audi logo is more prominent, and the bumpers front and rear are redesigned. A light bar now stretches between the headlights, and there’s a new alloy wheel design.
The E-tron is also available as a Sportback, though I can’t help thinking that all SUV-coupes are somewhat specious. WIRED wouldn’t trade the regular car’s longer rear and greater versatility for this supposed style statement.More important are the tech upgrades. Five years is a long time in the world of electrification, and battery energy density is always improving.
The Q8 E-tron has also gained some dynamic improvements. The steering is faster and more alert, the suspension has been finessed—all versions ride on air springs—and the stability and traction control algorithms have been tweaked. The 55 has a total of 402 bhp and 490 pound-feet of torque, and it sits between the 335-bhp 50 version and the 496-bhp SQ8. That one gains a third motor.The dual-motor 55 is a car that has an imperious feel without being what you might call interactive.
