Audi presented its first fully electric series-production model, the Audi e-tron to the media and customers from Singapore at a dedicated event at the North Island of New Zealand.
The car's large high-voltage battery lays the foundation for a range of more than 400km based on the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) driving cycle.
The Audi e-tron exemplifies the driving experience of a new technological era. Two electric motors drive the electric SUV, free of emissions, and almost silently, with a system output of up to 355bhp (off boost) and 664Nm of torque. The maximum drive torque is available within fractions of a second and provides enormous pulling power. The Audi e-tron completes the standard sprint in 5.7 seconds, while top speed is an electronically-limited 200km/h.
The dynamic talents of the Audi e-tron proved to be more than sufficient to tackle the mix of road conditions encountered during the event in Auckland.
The large high-voltage battery in the Audi e-tron can store up to 95kWh of energy. The possibility to charge with direct current at up to 150kW is a first for series production automobiles. This means that the Audi e-tron is all set for the next long-distance stretch of a journey in approximately half an hour. The electric SUV can also be recharged with alternating current at up to 11kW, while recharging at a 22kW charger will be available as an option.
The Audi e-tron has arrived at the Audi Centre Singapore and will be making its show debut at the upcoming Singapore Motor Show in January 2020. Priced from $367,500 (as of press time), the Audi e-tron will be delivered to customers in Singapore from December 2019.
