The Audi e-tron quattro and e-tron Sportback quattro are two of the first all-electric Audi models to hit the US market. Let’s take a look at the 2023 model year edition. According to official EPA data, both versions of the car have slightly improved energy efficiency, resulting in a higher range. The 2023 Audi e-tron has an EPA Combined range of 226 miles (364 km), while the 2023 Audi e-tron Sportback has an EPA Combined range of 225 miles (362 km).
However, the Audi e-tron duo remains one of the heaviest all-electric cars on the market, with one of the highest energy consumptions of roughly 432 watt-hour per mile (Wh/mi), including charging losses. The 2023 model year Audi e-tron and Audi e-tron Sportback are also $4,900 more expensive than before, and the destination charge has increased by $100. This means that the effective cost has increased significantly to $71,995 and $75,195 respectively.
To stay competitive in the market, Audi will be introducing the upcoming Audi Q8 e-tron, which will feature a larger 114 kWh battery. This should result in significantly more range than the current models. We recently had an opportunity to check out the top-of-the-line SQ8 e-tron version, and it looks like it will be a great addition to the Audi lineup.
