Buying Advice

Keeping in mind the pricing of the vehicle, the 2023 Audi E-Tron Premium with the Convenience Package is our recommendation. Not only does it offer a comprehensive set of features, but the optional package adds a potent list of specifications to the vehicle without increasing the price considerably.

Comparative Analysis against Competition

Speaking of the reliability of the 2023 E-Tron, a J.D. power rating of 76 does not boast a confident drive. However, its interior technology and safety features do compensate for that. As far as other additional expenses are concerned, $6,244 in terms of maintenance and $1,772 for repairs over a period of five years are going to be constant, meanwhile, the depreciation in value could fall up to $43,293.

2023 Audi E-Tron vs 2023 Jaguar I-Pace

The Audi E-Tron and Jaguar I-Pace pioneered the trends of electric SUVs for their respective brands. Both SUVs are equally matched and differ only diminutively in performance. While the British vehicle has better power outputs and managed quicker acceleration, Audi gained ascendancy with its range. The German proposition also cements its place with its impressive passenger space, large trunk, and also its top-notch safety features. 

2023 Audi E-Tron vs 2023 Tesla Model Y

Tesla’s impressive charging station coverage and longer experience with electric cars allow it to have an upper hand in the circuit. When pitted against the 2023 E-Tron, the 2023 Model Y is quicker, frugal, and provides better space. It adds to its practicality with impressive cargo space and though it looks basic compared to its flamboyant rivals, the SUV gains ascendancy in all aspects. However, Tesla’s ownership and after-sales experience are not the most refined. 

2023 Audi E-Tron vs 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E

With its affiliation to Mustang, the Mach-E SUV instantaneously became a talked about SUV. Thankfully, the vehicle lived up to its hype. When compared to the Audi E-Tron, the Mustang Mach-E is quicker, more efficient, and offers an impressive battery pack. It is ergonomically designed and offers better passenger and cargo space to the owners. 

Final Verdict

The 2023 Audi E-Tron remains a fairly decent SUV in the electric vehicle class. While in isolation its performance feels rewarding but there is still scope of improvement in its reliability and power surge for now.
