Audi e-Tron India Launch Delayed Due To Coronavirus Pandemic

Audi e-Tron India launch has been delayed due to the on-going Coronavirus pandemic. The company is now reconsidering the plans to launch the electric-SUV in the country.

However, the on-going Coronavirus pandemic has disrupted many plans in the country. As a result, automakers have no option left but to review their plans for the year. The company officials have confirmed that the Audi e-Tron will be launched in the country at some point in the future.

The Audi e-Tron is powered by two electric motors: a 125kW motor at the front, and a 140kW motor at the rear. Both motors produce a combined output of 408bhp of power and 664Nm of torque with all four wheels being driven.

The electric motors are coupled to a 95kWh Lithium-ion battery that can be charged to 80 per cent in 30 minutes via a DC fast charger. A regular home charger takes roughly 10 hours to completely charge the battery (100%). The electric-SUV can accelerate from standstill to 100kmph in 5.7seconds, and continue to reach a top speed of 200kmph.
The upcoming Audi e-Tron SUV features a sharp octagon-shaped front grille with flaps for air cooling. The electric-SUV also features a sloping roof-line, an LED bar across the boot, blind-spot monitoring, LED headlamps with Audi’s Matrix technology, and 20.5-inch spoke alloy wheels.

On the inside, the interiors of the Audi e-Tron feature multiple touchscreens, premium Bang & Olufsen sound system, and more. It also features different power modes and regenerative braking as well.

The Audi e-Tron measures 4.9-meters in length and can seat five occupants. The electric-SUV is longer than the Q5 SUV in the brand’s line-up. The SUV is also practical by offering boot space of 660-litres, which can be increased to 1,725-litres by folding the second-row seats. Once launched, the e-Tron is expected to rival the upcoming Jaguar iPace, and the Mercedes Benz EQC in India. The all-electric vehicle will be imported to India via the CBU route. The new import rules in effect are expected to help the company in pricing the e-Tron aggressively.
