Audi e-tron S - Full In-depth Review

[@gkuk]

Hi, Great Revue I have the Audi sq8 sport back 2024 with all the bells and whistles on order for delivery in November this year. Thanks again ATB Glen

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks Glen. Sounds like a great car you've got coming next month. Thanks for the comment

BlindSpot is available, AndroidAuto also since MJ2022, I mean with an SW-Update also available for MJ2021, Plug/charge since winter 2021 models. And with business leasing no so expensive.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the clarification Matthias. Seems I had a MJ2021 to review. Great to hear about the updates!

Again well done. Thought the "What is it up against" segment was good and of course the plover reference. Don't pay him this time as he did not get to the screen (well I missed him) Unfortunately the audi is above my pay grade. I could feel the comfort as you spoke. Looking forward to next Des

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment Des. Yes unfortunately he was out of shot.

Love the looks of the Audi. There is a lot of kit missing for the money. So glad they didn't fit black wheels. Keyless entry do be standard for the money.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment Phillip. I agree there's few things missing that I'd like but I suppose if I was spec'ing it for myself I know what I want

[@johnmurrayheadshots]

The efficiency was a bit of a shock, but then again Audi S has always compromised range for power. Its a great looking car.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

A real head turner. In a good way, not exorcist kind of way 😂😂

[@matthiasmuller5173]

You can choose the 55-Version. Enough power with more range. The S-Version is realy more a fun car than a usefull car.

[@michaelseer]

Does it come with a full size spare Derek? I had to use the space saver on my Leaf twice and they’re a total disaster in my opinion. Something to mention in future reviews.

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the question Michael. You can order a full size spare for it, there is space in the sub floor of the boot. There wasn't one in the model I reviewed

[@ryanlaffan7064]

Very nice car but I wonder is the EV6 a better buy for nearly half the money

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

EV6 is an excellent car and for the money yes, better value

[@oceanfroggie]

Nice bit of kit but wow they kill you on the extras that are not included, really basic stuff like blind spot, etc, that should be standard nowadays in any BEV. The functional Value from Kia and Hyundai is far better, more bang for yer buck, more car, more performance and better range. Poor audi they only upholstery they know seems to be dull as ditchwater soviet audi black. Not a good EV considering so many quality alternatives. It looks like an ICE platform converted rather than a dedicated BEV platform. Disappointing despite a good review. Model X every time at that price or Taycan

[@NevoEVReviewIreland]

Thanks for the comment Noel. I'm looking forward to seeing what the mid-cycle refresh will bring this year!

[@antti_kooo]

It isn't standard because Audi customers can afford it. Customers who buy 120k Audis buy Audis because they prefer the quality and refinement, not because they're seeking for the best bang-for-buck choice. Therefore Audi can charge extra for some "basic stuff" which comes standard in lower level cars. You see, that's one of the only ways cars like Kia and Hyundai can compete with Audi product is to chuck more kit as standard. If you'd get same kit with Audi at the same price why would anybody get a Huyndai or a Kia?

After watching "don't look up", i cannot look at the video with any interest now.

Sorry to hear that Paul.
