Audi sets launch date for E-tron and E-tron Sportback electric vehicles in July, accept reservations commencing now
Audi India is preparing for the introduction of its fully-electric SUVs, the e-tron and e-tron Sportback, on July 22 in India. The company has commenced bookings for these vehicles, both online via their website and at Audi India dealerships across the country.
The e-tron and e-tron Sportback SUVs come equipped with a 95kWh battery and a dual-motor setup that generates 300 kW/408 HP. This powerful configuration enables the vehicles to accelerate from 0-100kmph in just 5.7 seconds.
These SUVs feature an electric all-wheel-drive system, providing optimal traction, handling, and driving comfort in all driving situations. They also come standard with progressive steering, adaptive air suspension, and a four-zone air conditioner.
Balbir Singh Dhillon, the head of Audi India, expressed his enthusiasm about the launch of these electric vehicles. "The future is electric," he stated. The e-tron and e-tron Sportback SUVs are considered a brand in themselves, not just one product.
Booking each of the Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback SUVs requires an initial booking amount of INR 5 lakhs. The WLTP range of these SUVs is between 359 to 484 km. They can be charged using an 11kW AC home charger in approximately 8.5 hours.
Audi initially planned to launch the e-tron by the end of the last year but had to adjust its plans due to the Coronavirus pandemic. However, the company is now set to introduce these electric SUVs to Indian roads.
Unfortunately, the name of the CEO of Audi India who announced the start of bookings for the electrically powered SUVs was not found in the provided search results.
It is noteworthy that Audi India is launching several new models under the e-tron brand. More details about these models will be revealed during the official launch event on July 22.
In conclusion, the launch of the Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback SUVs in India signifies a significant step towards a more sustainable future. These electric vehicles offer impressive performance, advanced technology, and eco-friendly features, making them an attractive option for environmentally conscious consumers. Stay tuned for more updates on the official launch event on July 22.
