Overview

The 2022 Audi e-tron MSRP starts at $65,900 and a destination fee of $1,195 is levied on all the trim levels. Audi has replaced the Prestige trim with the Chronos Edition, featuring S-line elements in Chronos Gray color, LED matrix headlamps, Black Optic Package, 21-inch wheels and quirky orange-colored brake calipers.

Featuring a 3-trim lineup of Premium, Premium Plus and Chronos Edition, the range-leader Chronos Edition cost you $17,500 more than the base 2022 E-Tron Premium trim. It challenges the Jaguar I-Pace, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y.

We Recommend

We would suggest the mid-level Premium Plus trim for its list of upmarket features, luxurious interior and typical Audi technology.

Buying Advice

Priced at an MSRP of $74,800, the Premium Plus trim of the 2022 Audi e-Tron is the most desirable one to have in your garage. Having better comfort features than the base Premium with an enhanced safety suite for a reasonable price increment bolsters its stature. Being in line with the Chronos Edition in its performance dynamics is another plus point in its imagery that indicates it as the most balanced driving experience among all for the designated price tag.  

Comparative Analysis against Competition

The 2022 Audi e-Tron remains one of the juiciest electric drives for us with its impressive towing muscle alongside top-end technology and safety features. However, it's J.D. Consumer Rating of 76/100 can be termed as “Average”, and a wake-up call from our end to many in its reliability index.

Interior
9.0/10

The Audi e-Tron 2022 interior is a tech-laden and practical space to be in. Also, it comforts you with its standard heated front seats in the Premium trim that extends to the ventilation function in the Premium Plus along with heated rear seats.

The e-Tron 2022 continues to own an Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus as standard. And a Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium Sound System for the Premium Plus and Chronos Edition. 

Exterior
7.0/10

The E-Tron SUV and Sportback look like part of the Audi lineup, not necessarily like EVs- The Car Connection 

Elaborating the aggressive stance of e-Tron are the Matrix-design LED headlights on the front fascia of the Premium Plus that switches to Digital Matrix-design LED Headlights for the Chronos Edition. While the 20-inch 5-double-spoke Turbine design bi-color wheels complement the design layout for the Premium configuration. It gets bigger with 21-inch 5-double-V-spoke design wheels as we go for the Chronos Edition.

  • Florett Silver Metallic
  • Glacier White Metallic
  • Mythos Black Metallic
  • Galaxy Blue Metallic
  • Manhattan Gray Metallic
  • Navarra Blue Metallic($595)
  • Siam Beige Metallic($595)

Safety
9.9/10

The 2022 Audi e-Tron electric continues with the same frame meaning a 5-star NHTSA safety rating is inevitable and so does the "Good" rating by the IIHS. Not just that, it has been categorized in the "Top Safety Pick+" award as well for the 2022 MY for its sound build altogether. Further, the 2022 e-Tron relishes an array of safety gears that keeps its drive reliable against any uncertainties.

Some of the key safety features irrespective of trim specifics are: 

  • Audi adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance
  • Blind-spot monitor
  • Rear cross-traffic alert
  • Forward collision warning
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Traffic sign recognition

Competition
8.0/10

2022 Audi e-Tron Vs. 2022 Tesla Model Y

The 2022 Tesla Model Y has been on the top for quite a long time with its better-equipped technology on the inside and outside. And it continues to be so as it simply goes past the 2022 Audi e-Tron with better acceleration, power surge, and range reach. Its interior tech-ends are also superior with fine finish touches all around. Hence, it has to be Model Y over e-Tron for now. 

2022 Audi e-Tron Vs. 2022 Jaguar I-Pace

The 2022 Jaguar I-Pace is fast and more exhilarating in its drive than the 2022 Audi e-Tron. However, when it comes to cabin spaciousness, the Jaguar struggle a bit as the rear row feels a little more squeezed up for the passenger. Apart from these, both of them are pretty much on the same level in terms of dynamics and safety build. On the whole, both are equally desirable. 

2022 Audi e-Tron Vs. 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-e California Route 1

The 2022 Audi e-Tron, though, lags behind the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-e California Roue 1 in power performance and range reach but it covers up that deficit with parallel interior tech-ends and comfortable seating. The ambiance for the e-Tron could be a bit more upscale than the Mustang Mach-e California Route 1 as well. So, one can go for either of them as they both specialize in their specific domains. 

Final Verdict

The 2022 Audi e-Tron comes with many premium features and offers a decent range but it still is far behind in its powertrain status against its rivals. Also, it has some major challenges to sort out in its reliability index that dents its image the most. Though it is surely a fine dine in luxury layout but its performance parameter needs to upgrade and for that reason, it is not advisable to own it.
