Description

Although the e-tron can’t match the Tesla Model X for acceleration, it’s quick enough, needing 5.5 seconds to hit 60 mph from rest. Expected range for the e-tron is about 250 miles. Given Audi’s reputation for delivering high-quality, fun-to-drive vehicles, the e-tron will do well for the automaker.
