I like looks of the e-trans on the outside. The digital instrument cluster is great, but the other screen looks a little out dated to me and I’m not crazy about using a screen for the climate controls. I think knobs and buttons still work better. That big 107 kw battery makes it a true luxury EV as it delivers the range most of us want. It’s more money than I’d spend on a car, but if that’s not a concern this seems like a great car.

Just wondering…… in June 23 there were approximately 280,000,000 cars registered in the US, and around 2,000,000 were EVs. This is about 1 EV for every 140 gas powered cars. So only 0.7% cars on the road are EVs. In many parts of the US an EV is a oddity and rarely seen. Why is there so much time and information given about EVs when they are still many decades from being even slightly mainstream?

Love it. Not ready for EV yet, but if I were, it would be an eTon.(let's see a drive of the eTron GT Please?). Looks like Audi is wanting to throw in some perks to sell cars. Wish more brands would sweeten the pot that way. (Even for us "Po' folks" driving ICE Audis, my local dealer threw in some niceties, like extending the warranty). Thanks KBB.

@inspector4133 Жыл бұрын
@@jjohur I'm not sure ANY KZbin reviewer (outside of maybe Consumer Reports, who actually buy their own test vehicles) can be totally unbiased anymore. All of the test vehicles are supplied by the manufacturers, and I'm sure that plays into the mindset of the reviewers. You still need to drive and evaluate the car on your own, but at least it gives you a starting point to work from, to see if it's a car you might want to consider. JMO.

I’ve had an E Tron since 2019. I completely disagree with you about the center console. In practice. It is completely not user-friendly. Also, currently the leases on these things are unbelievably outrageous. I was just quoted almost $2200 for a 36 month lease. Good luck selling these for that price.

Traditional OEM’s need to figure out software and have their EV’s separately designed from their ICE. The Audi MMI is dated and I’ve read horror stories of their charging issues and software update problems. As a previous Audi and Porsche owner who has paid thousands in repairs I have no desire to return to that endless repair/maintenance model.

Surprised you love the Q8 so much and don’t see this doesn’t share a single panel or exterior part or barely a thing on the inside with the Q8. They havent changed the shifter, this isnt a Q8, its a 5 year old car, only got the Q8 moniker now because of marketing reasons.
