Audi e-tron S Cars
The Audi e-tron S is a new electric SUV that packs a punch in terms of power and performance. The e-tron S features three electric motors, one on the front axle and two on the rear axle, giving it all-wheel-drive capability and delivering a total output of 370 kW (496 horsepower) and 973 Nm of torque. This powerful setup allows the e-tron S to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, making it one of the quickest SUVs available today.
Despite its performance credentials, the e-tron S is still a practical and versatile vehicle suitable for everyday use. It has an impressive range of up to 365 km on a single charge (according to WLTP standards), which should be more than sufficient for most daily commutes or weekend getaways in New Zealand.
One key advantage of the e-tron S over other electric SUVs is its ability to tow up to 1800 kg, thanks to its powerful drivetrain and standard-fit air suspension system. This makes it a great option for those who need to tow boats, caravans or trailers regularly.
In terms of design, the e-tron S retains Audi's signature sharp lines and athletic stance while also incorporating some unique styling elements specific to the e-tron range, such as aerodynamic wheels and LED lighting elements. The interior is spacious and well-appointed, with high-quality materials throughout and plenty of advanced technology features including Audi's virtual cockpit digital display system.
As with all electric vehicles, charging infrastructure can be an issue in some areas but this is improving steadily across New Zealand with many charging stations being installed each month around cities and highways alike.
Overall, the Audi e-tron S is an exciting addition to New Zealand's growing range of electric vehicles offering high levels of performance combined with practicality for day-to-day driving.
