New Audi e-tron at Audi Temecula

The sporty yet sleek silhouette of the first-ever all-electric SUV from the Four Rings will be electrifying SoCal drivers here in Riverside County soon. Unique, animated, horizontal line-design LED tail lighting and an evolved iconic Singleframe grille offer mere glimpses of the drive like no other to come. An unrivaled experience it will be, too, belying the seemingly everyday-SUV style points of standard 20-inch wheels, a low door sill, and wheel arches unmistakably Audi DNA by design. What do we have to look forward to in the new e-tron?

Up to the Charge

Thanks to 150-kW DC fast charging, your Audi e-tron can get an approximate 80% charge in as little as 30 minutes. Utilize the home charging capsule, and you can fully charge your battery in around 9 hours from a simple 240-volt/50-amp outlet. You can recoup even more power on the road and off the beaten path thanks to regenerative braking. Audi makes getting energized and ready to go easy, too. 1,000 kWh of charging are included gratis for use within your first four years of ownership at Electrify America fast-charging stations. There are around 16,000 charging stations nationwide, and more than 480 more stations with 2,000+ 50kW-to-350kW charge dispensers are in the works. You'll even be able to tap into solar and wind energy sources without the need to buy or install equipment via renewable energy service providers like Arcadia Power. That's peace of mind for far more than the extra mile.

Driven to Perform

If the Audi e-tron can be called anything, it's one of the most capable SUVs out there. Its low-positioned 95-kWh battery and dual motors, each with unique liquid cooling systems, not only provide the low center of gravity, efficient power distribution, and near-instantaneous torque to make any ride a pleasure cruise. They put raw power behind it -- as much as 402 horsepower and 414 pound-feet of torque, with up to 490 pound-feet possible using boost technology. A thumb-activated gear selector eases gear changes, and you'll enjoy some of the smoothest around as you rocket from zero to 60 mph in as little as 5.5 seconds.

Have Fun, Will Travel

Moreover, e-tron is a blast to drive. Standard electric quattro all-wheel drive with 50-times-faster wheel-slip reduction and a five-mode, five-link front and rear air suspension make it both dependable over diverse terrain, thanks to the latter's an off-road setting, and responsive through inclement California coastal weather. With seven profiles geared for a variety of driving situations, road conditions, and even personal preferences, not to mention a super-low drag coefficient of 0.30, expect the trip to be as exhilaratingly sporty as it is tailored.

Home on the Range

New electric vehicles these days are distance-goers, some of the longest of the long-haulers around. Audi e-tron sets a new bar for all of them. The about-41-mile trip up to Riverside will take you around 50 minutes on a good day via I-215 North. Luckily for you, a new e-tron gets 54 miles of range with as little as a 10-minute charge. Of course, you needn't worry about cutting it close, whether you're headed there or down to Escondido, as the SUV's EPA-estimated cruising range is an excellent 204 miles.

Connected Out in the Great Wide-Open

You can depend on new Audi SUVs to deliver some of the most advanced and cutting-edge tech out there, and e-tron is a showcase of it. Under the Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus digital instrument cluster, which offers driving metrics at a glance, a 10.1-inch Audi MMI touch response infotainment system puts you in control of it all. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay enable you to connect your smartphone and access and use it in-dash, while Amazon Alexa integration lets you control both Alexa-enabled devices and your Amazon music library, not to mention much more.

That's manageable, in turn, by the myAudi app, which offers remote functionality via your mobile device like never before. First, it allows remote vehicle access and provides a vehicle status monitor. Second, you can take advantage of comprehensive route guidance. Third, it makes it easy to set geofence boundaries. Fourth, you can locate your Audi as well as schedule maintenance appointments. Finally, you can enjoy help getting to know your e-tron from the myAudi IQ feature. It delivers video tutorials, a guidebook or quick questions and answers, your owner's manual digitally, and more.

Accommodations Wherever You May Roam

Step into a new Audi e-tron, and behind soundproofing, owing in part to available dual-pane windows, and thanks to the nearly silent operation of the motors, you'll find a home away from home for every journey. The cabin comes upholstered in sumptuous leather appointments, and front seats come ventilated standard. Plus, a massage feature's available to soothe you on longer rides. Bring into the mix perks like remote climate control and an optional air ionizer package, and the cockpit and compartment become the lap of luxury. There are even as much as 57.0 cubic feet of cargo space available with rear seats collapsed, and you can tow a trailerful as heavy as 4,000 pounds when properly equipped. That puts e-tron in dirt bike-, ATV-, and even small boat-hauling territory.
