The e-Tron, much like its predecessors, takes a different approach from the leading EVs and carves a unique image in its segment. This crossover reminds the world that even though it’s electric, it still has the sophistication and performance of an Audi vehicle. The power in the Audi e-Tron is comparable to any other SUV, standing at 402 hp in the sport mode. The ride is as smooth as any other Audi. The interior is full of cutting-edge technology and advanced features. The range is nothing to boast against its rivals though, at only 218 miles on one charge, but Audi has aimed it toward short-range commuters. The range is also expected to be upgraded in the future with newer models.

The 2020 Audi e-tron also has a stellar record for user satisfaction. The car has had absolutely zero user complaints as per the NHTSA records. Moreover, its Sportback sibling has been recalled only once. This makes it one of the most well-received vehicles on the market today.

Should you buy the 2020 Audi e-tron?

If you are someone looking to enhance your driving satisfaction as well as reduce your carbon footprint while not compromising on speed and performance, the e-tron is for you. In all honesty, the e-Tron rivals, like Jaguar I-pace (234 miles) and Tesla Model X (up to 351 miles), offer a little bit more range but the e-tron (218 miles) makes up for it splendidly with luxury and ride comfort. The Audi e-tron has not had any user complaints and only 1 recall for the Sportback variant which shows the quality and commitment of Audi. The 2020 Audi e-tron is fast, luxurious, reliable, and worthwhile if you are in the market for a luxury electric crossover.
