Audi e-tron 55 range test

[@vulcan4d]

I have the 2019 E-Tron and this car blows my mind in 2024. It is true luxury.

[@PD55_]

Dude, Audi should give this new etron to you for showing how improved it is. The best advertising is actual performance and real user experience.

[@Explosivo93]

The old e-tron looks so much better on the outside

[@villho]

I've been driving a fat e-tron for 3 years now. Bough it second-hand with 7.000 km in the odometer. Whoever ordered the car in the first place did not raise the pencil from the paper when going through the accessories on the order form. Still, with all the cool new Koreans and all, I can't see any other car I would prefer driving. Yeah, the consumption is high, but who cares - I put on the massage and ventilation on the comfort seats, enjoy the silence and smooth ride that the air suspension offers. When the evening comes, I turn on the heat camera to see mooses, pedestrians etc. from the road. And in the winter time, I have no issues with adaptive cruise control when it's snowing, as the radar has heating. All the other driver assistance stuff works nicely as well. The one grimace I have and that's the MMI software... it's really outdated. Luckily the car has wireless Carplay and that saves the day. Anyone looking for a second-hand EV should not overlook the classic fatron. It has a lot of bang for the buck.

[@DerBlauzahn]

22" wheels are really range killers for the real german Bratwurstwagen

[@rjung_ch]

And such wide tires as well, not good for consumption but guess they need them because they are as heavy as a truck...

[@DerBlauzahn]

@@rjung_ch I had 19" on my e-tron. 255 width

[@StevenChambers-d8m]

Bjorn have you tried testing the fast e tron on 19” wheels idk why manufacturers keep putting range killing size wheels

[@sebad83]

According to Audi car configurator, changing wheels from 20’ to 22’ reduced the range by 7%. This is significant. It would be good to test the Q8 with 20’ wheels and compare it with Q6 on 20’ wheels. 7% is a lot (and also Audi claims for the Q8 to be more efficient than the etron).

[@M-hq9xz]

I think the fat e-tron is still a better looking car from the exterior than the Q6😄

[@CraigMatsuura]

Will you be able to test the q8 etron 2024?

[@pbxl]

Got the Q8 50 on 19' and consumption is around 215KW/110KMH and on my last long traject 880KM on highway (130-120KMH)it was 23,3KWH in average.... that's not a bad car knowing it charge quite faset with flat curve.

[@adrians9042]

Very nice test, and a more serious one regarding etron, instead of just calling it fat etron. I hope you continue with this. 😊

[@matthewclark-z8p]

Nice video ..Rough Calculations based on the Q8 having a ca 24 percent bigger battery would land you at ca 400km at 120km/h not taking into account the small changes they did regarding the efficiency between the Etron and the Q8 … In your tests Q6 has 20” inch vs 22 on the etron so on a Q8 you are looking a very similar figures between the Q6 vs Q8 … Of course there are lots of other improvements not the Q6 but the range seems similar to a Q8

[@maxquinn5311]

My 2023 e-tron got a best range of 422km last year, 411km so far this year. Regularly 4.2 to 4.5 km/kWh with mixed driving and no attempt to be efficient. Have seen as high as 7km/kWh but that’s rare. 96% home charging, saved C$3,200 last year. Fantastic car and who cares if it’s slightly less efficient - it just means slightly more often charging. Want to join me for a REALLY long drive Bjorn? Trans Canada is at the bottom of the street…

[@blackstar160686]

Is it a 50 or 55?

[@davidbryant2872]

Thank you for that re-test. As the owner of a "fat e-tron" I was quite interested in how it did. But one thing that surprised me was the side-by-side shot of the Q6 and the older e-tron -- the older "fat e-tron" actually looks smaller, especially it looks less tall. Can that be correct? Surely the Q6 is smaller than the e-tron 55. I wonder if the suspensions were set differently when you took that shot, so that the Q6 just looked taller...? Very curious!

[@fredrikvil]

«Fat e-tron» / Q8 e-tron is actually not only lower than Q6, but also lower than Q4 e-tron. Fat/Q8: 1629 Q6: 1685 Q4: 1632

[@Noobtuber-007]

Still one of the best EV's made to this day.

[@logicpro8-k2d]

230-235 miles here on e-tron 55 Launch Edition in the Scotland with 21" wheels and EV rubber on, weather is 17-20C, new software updates making a difference? Winter is still 200 ish. Also I use rolling mode on the e-tron at high speeds and full regen at slow speed.

[@brickboystudio2823]

My first e-tron 50 Advanced sport did 320km in the summer, and around 18,5 kWh as best. My next e-tron 55 was a lot less efficient, and was never under 20kwh in the summer, guess the wight was the key factor.

[@lutzs.1412]

With 20" alloys e-tron's consumption would probably be very close to brand new Q6. I think no good result for the Q6.

[@PD55_]

I wonder what the depreciation/resale value is for a four-year old etron?

[@Tobi3425]

You can get one with less than 20.000km for about 1/3 of the original price at least here in Germany.

[@PD55_]

I think this is a big reason why legacy EV adoption is stalled. And you still have to deal with big dealer markups. Meanwhile, Teslas with 200,000+ km still look good, going strong.

[@evbrandy1357]

Here in Switzerland one can also get great offers for the e-tron 55. I bought one last summer and it had 15‘000km, was 18 month old and below 50% of list price. But one has to understand that nobody pays the list price. Generally I think the e-tron 55 is a very good deal.

[@Tobi3425]

@@evbrandy1357 I think so too! Probably there was a 15%-20% discount for it while it was brand new

[@evkx]

This example costed just above 1.000.000 NOK. I will probably get around 550.000 if I sell it today after 3 years.

[@bneyarb5037]

Björn do you still have the spreadsheet with quietness ranked?

[@evkx]

Yes you find it in his google drive Google "Bjørn Nyland files"

[@u.wunschel7311]

Does the Q6 have a head up display?

[@bjornnyland]

Yes, huge.

[@thomasd1531]

Why you haven’t tested the facelift Q8 etron55? It is (from my experience) more efficient compared to the old fat etron below 120kmh.

[@bjornnyland]

I have tested it already. Check out my channel.

[@t0mi91]

Jeg kjører med 23”, forbruket ligger ganske stabilt i mellom 210-230. 👍🏻

[@davidcb9544]

hi, can you try the NIo 150 kw actually?

[@FromPetroltoTesla]

Here is a suggestion for a test: Find a long slope one day with no wind and let the Audi free roll down. Then let a Tesla Y do the same. See which one that rolls the longest distance until it stops. This will show the in-built efficiency regarding the aspects of weight/aerodynamics.

[@evkx]

The problem is that Model Y does not support coasting without featering the throttle.

[@FromPetroltoTesla]

Well if I hold up the gear selector on my Y a few seconds when drivind in D, the car goes into N and is free rolling. Test drove a Mini Cooper S and putting into N to roll was just as easily done. Should be possible with just about any EV, hopefully.

[@KubaYa1411]

Well. Many people also claims 18kWh/100km in MG4 on motorway 😅 I set cruise control at 100kmph today and at 17°, bir rain and quite wet road i had 21. Not to mention 120kmph where going below 22kWh is nearly impossible🤯

[@tesla-spectre]

Wow really? That is indeed high for a comparatively small EV like the MG4. 😮 I have in summer at 130kmh 160-180Wh/km (120kmh can be done easily at 145-160 Wh/km in dummer, 180-200 in really cold winter) depending on street and weather in my 2021 M3LR AWD. And over 67000km in 2.5 yrs I averaged 159 Wh/km with 60% highway and many extreme long distances of 1000+km

[@Manu-P8]

If the AC doesn’t have to do a hard work, I get easily 17kWh/100km on motorway with 120-130km/h speeds on MY RWD.

[@mastarce]

My mg4 51kw does 18 at 120km/h, less than 17 if I drive 110km/h

[@KubaYa1411]

@@Manu-P8 yep. My wife has model Y without the trailer I never had more than 180 on the motorway. My MG has average around 20 since I bought it a year ago.

[@KubaYa1411]

@@mastarce not a hope. I did multiple tests in couple of them to make sure that mine isn't faulty. Bjorn's range test confirms that. You may have it when you set cruise control to 120 but your average speed will be 100 because of traffic. If you set it 120 and keep going 120 you won't go below 20, which is usually my case as I'm coming back home very late evenings and roads are empty. Not to mention when temperature drops below 10° and you are pushing it. When driving 120-140, I had a consumption of even 27, not once! I had a good few EVs and this one is just ridiculous when it comes to efficiency 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@apicharjiratanan4285]

This is how you should roll with 2 audis, no more trailer test?

[@runarramstad2441]

The q8 etron is 10% more efficient than the old etron. Why not test the latest version instead of a 3 year old car?

[@evkx]

This is not correct. Out of spec tested them side by side on highway in 70mph. e-tron was slightly more efficent. According to Audi similar specced Q8 is 6% more efficient in WLTP testing, but in real world there is difficult to measure

[@runarramstad2441]

@@evkxnot correct. I have owned both of them and I know that q8 is 10-15% more efficient

[@evkx]

@@runarramstad2441 I have also tested both, (it is my car in the video and I also run electrichasgoneaudi) See highway test from out of spec. They drive togheter in 70mph. If you spec a Q8 with same equipment you get around 6% improved consumption in audi configurator.
