This Mid-size SUV combines sportiness with everyday ease of
use, as it comes equipped with an advanced electric power train that delivers
impressive performance and German-style handling in all driving conditions.
The Audi e-tron embodies the basic concept that Audi relies
on in its designs, adding distinctive touches that combine creativity and
elegance in preparation for the entry of the era of electric
cars.
Like the German brand's SUV models, the octagonal single
frame grille with vertical beams also stands at the front of the Audi e-tron,
emphasizing the identity of the all-electric vehicle.
At the lower edge of the Matrix LED headlights are four
horizontal light bars that give the e-tron a unique look when the daytime
running lights are on. The expressive design of the sill area with black trim
highlights the position of the battery and power center of the Audi e-tron.
At the rear, the wide diffuser is adorned with decorative
strips to highlight the car's absence of exhaust pipes, the e-tron logo on the
charging hatch cover and, optionally, on the brake calipers, in bright orange.
The improved aerodynamics is an important factor in the
outstanding efficiency of the Audi e-tron. One highlight of the concept car is
the virtual exterior mirrors — a novel technology, featuring a small camera
built into each of the side mirror bases, where the images taken are projected
onto a high-contrast OLED screen inside the vehicle doors.
The spacious and luxurious interior is adorned with these
different color touches to create the flare that embodies performance,
intelligence and brightness. The wide cockpit, with its curved lines integrated
with virtual outside mirrors, harmoniously extends from the integrated instrument
panel all the way to the door edges.
The entire cockpit takes into account the complete comfort
of the driver, with two large screens with MMI touch-screen feature, positioned
diagonally in the direction of the driver. These two screens replace all traditional
keys and controls.
Many functions can also be controlled by voice control
system, in addition to "Alexa" voice assistant from Amazon, with the
standard Audi virtual cockpit, the driver can choose between two displays that
clearly display high-resolution graphics. The optional Audi Virtual Cockpit
Plus comes with a third screen to control the electric drive system.
The Audi e-tron comes with relatively large dimensions for a
mid-size SUV, with a length of 4,901mm, a width of 1,935mm, and a height of
1,616mm, within the size range of the mid-size models of the German brand.
Standing on a wheelbase of 2,928mm.
The Audi e-tron provides ample seating for five passengers,
and good luggage space, at a total capacity of 660 liters, making it ideal for
long-distance voyages, within its electrical range of course.
In Jordan, the e-tron arrived with the entry-level version;
the e-tron 50 quattro, which also has an electric motor at the front and rear
axles. With a combined total of 307HP and 540Nm of torque, the electric SUV
accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 7.0 seconds, with top speed electronically
limited at 190km/h.
To achieve the highest efficiency, only the rear electric
motor is active in most driving situations, while the front electric motor is
activated when needed. The management of the electric all-wheel drive is
extremely fast, highly connected and very precise. In combination with modern
suspension components including air suspension and the low vehicle center of
gravity, it provides excellent dynamics and stability.
The battery unit of the Audi e-tron 50 quattro base model
comes with a 71kWh battery, delivering a range of more than 300 kilometers as
per the WLTP cycle range standard. The combination of the drivetrain and the
high-voltage system, the lower gross weight, which also reduces running
resistance, and the efficient thermal management system with its standard
thermal pump.
This system regulates the temperature of the interior as
well as the battery and cools the electric motors, the power electronics and
the charger. All of these elements work together to ensure that the
high-voltage components enjoy a long service life and enables fast charging
with direct current (DC).
The e-tron can charge with up to 120kW at high-power
charging stations where available. Alternatively, the battery can be charged
with alternating current (AC chargers) at a charging capacity of 11kW, taking
about seven hours, while a faster on-board charging device that allows charging
using up to 22kW at AC stations is also available.
For home charging, the e-tron comes standard with the
compact mobile charging system, which supports a charging capacity of up to
11kW.
The e-tron comes with another smart energy saving feature:
the recuperation of energy feature via its two electric motors, mainly using
the rear motor, operating at 90 percent of all decelerations of the car. The
energy from normal braking maneuvers is fully recovered and fed into the
battery.
This wheel-braking system relies on electrohydraulic
actuators that are activated only when deceleration is more than 0.3g. This
also helps in shorting braking distance.
The first fully electrical SUV from Audi is an EV with a
distinct German character.
