The fully electric Audi models offer refined SUV designs, with everyday utility and distinctive road presence. The Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback are the first and second fully electric vehicles in the Audi lineup, laddering up to the brand’s commitment to 30 percent of the U.S. model lineup being fully or partially electrified by 2025.More range, attractive price pointNew for model year 2021, the Audi e-tron model lines receive impressive revised packaging, including attractive entry pricing with a new Premium trim level. As a result, the e-tron SUV is offered at $65,900 starting MSRP for the model year 2021, a decrease of close to $9,000 from the starting MSRP of the model year 2019 Premium Plus e-tron. The e-tron lineup also receives a number of technical spec enhancements for improved utility. Through optimized drive system hardware and software adjustments, the 2021 e-tron achieves efficiency improvements resulting in an EPA-estimated range of 222 miles, an increase of 18 miles. Meanwhile, the e-tron Sportback delivers an EPA-estimated range of 218 miles. As technology progresses, the e-tron lineup has seen its most significant improvements with available battery capacity and efficiency. For a more efficient configuration, thanks to a number of optimizations, the front electric motor is able to be entirely disengaged, dramatically reducing power usage when not needed. Only when the driver demands more power or traction do both motors spring into action, providing the surefootedness of Audi quattro? technology and the powerful dynamics Audi is known for. In addition, the usable amount of the high-voltage battery has increased for the model year 2021 e-tron lineup. The battery in the Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback have a total capacity of 95 kWh and now gives customers access to a net energy figure of 86.5 kWh— almost 3 kWh more than 2019 e-tron model. The energy buffer is designed to help ensure customers enjoy sustained battery performance throughout the life of the vehicle. Enhancing the charging experience are dual charge ports on the driver and passenger side of the vehicles, newly available on the Premium Plus trims of the e-tron and e-tron Sportback. Convenience Plus Package complements new Premium trimIn response to customer feedback, enhancements have been made to every category for model year 2021 e-tron vehicles for a more accessible and well packaged portfolio. Unique to the e-tron SUV, in addition to the entry Premium trim is the available distinct Convenience Plus Package, featuring the Driver assistance package and Black exterior trim kit including matte black grille, front and rear bumper trim and on the e-tron SUV, matte black roof rails. Continued commitment toward a sustainable futureThe e-tron and newly introduced e-tron Sportback mark the first and second fully electric models in the Audi brand‘s commitment to 30 percent of the U.S. model lineup being fully or partially electrified by 2025. After the introduction of the e-tron SUV in spring 2019, plug-in hybrid derivatives of Audi Q5, A7 and A8 have joined the U.S. lineup. On the EV front, the recently introduced e-tron Sportback is expected to be followed by the fully electric e-tron GT high-performance sport sedan and Audi Q4 e-tron compact SUV. The e-tron SUVs are manufactured in Audi’s first vehicle assembly plant in Europe certified as carbon-neutral by Belgian testing company Vincotte and represents one of the many steps contributing toward a more sustainable future.2021 Audi e-tron SUV Key specifications: Horsepower355 (402 with Boost Mode)0-60 (seconds)5.5 (with Boost Mode)Battery95 kWhEPA-estimated range (miles)222EPA-estimated MPGe (city/highway/combined)78/78/78 MPGe Premium Premium w/ Convenience Plus PackagePremium PlusPrestige$65,900$69,400$74,800$79,10020” 5-spoke wheelsComfort pre-conditioningHeated steering wheelFour-zone climate controlLane departure warningHeated front seatsPower tailgateAudi sound systemAudi virtual cockpit plusPrivacy glass for rear windows and tailgateHeated, auto-dimming, power-folding exterior mirrors with memoryHomelink & Integrated Toll ModulePremium equipment +Driver assistance packageBlack optic exterior kitPremium equipment +Glass optic & aluminum look buttonsDual charge ports Driver assistance packageAmbient interior lightingHeated & ventilated twelve-way power front seatsHeated Rear Seats4-way power lumbar for driver & passengerMatrix-design LED headlights w/animation 3D Bang & Olufsen Sound SystemAudi phonebox with wireless chargingPremium Plus equipment +Head-up display with navigation information Individual contour front seats including massage functions Full Leather package (dashboard, door armrests and center console)Multi-color LED interior ambient lightingDual pane acoustic glass for side windowsAir quality system (ionizer and aromatization)Power door closersSunshades for rear windowsA potential federal tax credit for purchasing an Audi e-tron up to $7,500 may apply.
