Audi has confirmed that the e-tron will be launched in India on July 22. Select dealers have commenced unofficial bookings for a token of Rs 10 lakh. The German carmaker’s first all-electric SUV will be available in two body styles (SUV and Sportback) and three variants (50, 55, and 55 Sportback). 

Here are the expected prices:

The e-tron sports a minimalistic design. A familiar single-piece grille (in typical Audi fashion) dominates the front, flanked by Matrix-LED headlamps. The soft lines on the side lend the silhouette a clean and smooth look. The orange brake callipers add a dash of contrast. Keeping things interesting are the connected tail lamps that break into their own little jig while locking and unlocking the SUV. 

The interior is all too similar to other top-of-the-range Audis like the A6, A8L, and Q8. The central console houses the 10.1-inch MMI infotainment system and a seperate screen for the climate controls. Also, there’s a digital driver display with EV-specific graphics. The India-spec SUV will get three interior colour options: Black, Black/Brown, and Black/Beige. 

Other important features include Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, four-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charger, electric adjustment for the steering wheel, powered front seats, and a powered tailgate. 

Passengers are secured by eight airbags, ABS with EBD, front and rear parking sensors, electronic stability control, and tyre pressure monitoring. 

All variants of the e-tron come with dual motors driving all four wheels. However, the power output, battery capacity, and range differ depending on the variant you pick. Here’s a quick look at the specifications:
