Audi unveiled a new model of its e-Tron, with a smaller battery and a price, accordingly, less important.
No luck for Americans, the electric SUV will not be marketed at home.
100 km less battery life and longer charge
We were talking a few days ago about the advertising done by Audi for its current e-Tron 55. The brand now presents its new model, the e-Tron 50, equipped with a battery of 71 kWh, against 95 for the e-Tron 55, for a vehicle weighing in total 120 kg less than the vehicle already known.
The new model, more economical to purchase, therefore sees its autonomy revised downwards, counting 299 km on a load, against 399 for the current version. Its battery, smaller, will have a charging time also longer. The maximum rate will only reach 120 kWh.
With regard to the engine of the e-Tron 50, it will remain equipped with a two-engine all-wheel-drive system but will see its power rise from 402 to 308 horsepower. The acceleration will, therefore, be slower and the maximum speed limited to 190 km / h.
According to Audi, the vehicle will be sold for less than € 70,000. The automaker hopes to encourage drivers to switch to electric.
