I just picked up a 2021 E Tron Prestige a few days ago. It is by far the best overall driving vehicle I have ever owned including other cars from Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche. Not the fastest or best handling but when you consider the whole package it's amazing. Now Audi and Electrify America just need to get their act together with their apps!!!!

Thanks for the comment Jacob 🤗 wow prestige Awsome does that have the massaging front seats. I wanted to try those out. I agree not the fastest but i was pretty impressed with 0-60 we got and it doesn’t need to be that quick. I’m curious to try the Audi Q4 etron next! Thank you for chatting 🤗

As soon as I can afford one, I am going to replace my 2016 A3 with an E-tron 55 Quattro. I cannot wait to go fully electric. But no Tesla for me.

I bought one yesterday. You just fall in love with the feel, drive and design of this car, still after 4-5 years of its release. Charging is stable. I will gladly take an extra stop for 20 min on longer journeys just to have this car. You are going to spend a lot of hours in a car. Its about making that time enjoyable. It really is zen on wheels

I've test driven a few etrons and have been very impressed, probably the nicest car I've ever driven, the comfort is unbelievable, the drive is smooth . I'll definitely be choosing one as my next car,

Acceleration is blisteringly fast and cornering stability excellent. Steering is not so precise though. Interior is luxurious with lots of amenities, but range is not great and suffers a lot in cold weather. Great overall SUV.

@@CarChatTV Hey, now I drove the 55 Sportback over 10.000km, my minimum consumption over 400km with very calm driving was 16,7kWh/100km. Typical in summer with 100% charge my range is between 380 an 440km near WLTP. Now when the temperature is lower the consumtion is higher and the range is between 350 and 380km. On the other side when I drove long distance on the german autobahn i never get 30kwh/100km or higer, even if i drive 150 to 170km/h when unlimited and less traffic. But more I like the comfort and a speed around 120 to 130km/h and a consumption between 21,5 and 24kwh/100km average. My long term consumption is 22,8 kWh/100km over 12.000km

I'm gonna keep an eye out on the used market in like 2 years time, by which time hopefully the first lot of 55 will be within my price range (mid 20k).

@@horatiupogoreanu6422 One thing with the 55 is that it has a big top buffer, so even if the user is charging it to 100%, it's not actually 100%. That's why it's able to charge 50kw (see Bjorn's videos) all the way up to 100%. Add to that the fact in the mmi system it encourages you to only charge to 80%, I think it's highly likely that even if you buy a 5-6 year old one, as long as it hasn't been abused on fast chargers all its life, it will have pretty much the same range as it did when it was fresh out of the showroom.

Great review! But I’ve used some time lately comparing the etron with the Merc EQC, and I must say the EQC is just ahead in almost all aspects. If you don’t need that massive space, I think the Mercedes looks better, drives better, have better regen capabilities, better sound system (Burmester)… So there will be an EQC for me 😊

It always less costly to run a fuel efficient gas car and some of them make electric cars obsolete. You have to consider depreciation too on expensive electric cars. One relative paid 160k plus tax for one a year ago and that one is likely down by 30k plus the 20k taxes lost and I have been told they save a lof on gas and maintenance.

Note tesla overstates the range and the horsepower. Combined horsepower of 2 motors is far less than the total power of each motor as there appears to be a big power loss when both operate together after the transmission and maybe battery safety limits. Some of them get 70%of the total advertised.

For those who own one, is the range an issue?
