Audi e-Tron Sportback - Real-world range test. How far will it go?

[@herrcastor]

The M25... 117 miles in diameter [THE FOOL MEANS RADIUS] Er, I believe he actually means circumference :-)

[@CybertuxSpain]

How far will it go, you ask? I don't care. It's a superb car and it always takes me back home again. Btw, I beat WLTP with almost every trip I make. But I did read the part of the manual with the instructions of how to drive an EV of this size and class.

[@alirizvi2631]

Hi mate, what mode did you have it in? I think I noticed you had it in auto. The car has efficiency driving mode and another mode which is to extend the range. Worth trying the same test in efficiency driving mode??? It puts the AC in to eco mode aswell.

[@rocket3man]

My ID.3 in February 2021 shows 190 miles on a full charge and that's what you get on the road as long as you keep to maximum posted road speeds and with 22 deg temp setting. My Mini electric delivers over 5.2miles/Kw on rural roads and town usage. I don't have any range anxiety with EV cars.

[@neonutsack2999]

There is an eco mode but Audi have hidden it in the settings . I set mine to on and it helped a little

[@matthiasmuller5173]

If you have to do more than set in "efficency mode" the driving is not natural. Who will drive such a car in the range mode or without using AC, seatheating and other comfort features.

Well balanced review . Thank you from america. I have an e tron order placed and if the dealer finds one for me. Ill take possession

[@mattramos6001]

No eco mode? You don’t know much about the vehicle if you really believe that.

[@philhartley7551]

it beats me that testers don't spend the time to know the vehicle they are driving and hence make false statements like no eco mode. He seemed to be clicking through drive select where efficiency mode is found . Having said that, my experience of efficiency on etron 55 sportback is that it gives me around 5% extra, also, you get used to the virtual door mirrors after a couple of hundred miles. Bit silly forcing range anxiety upon himself when most EV drivers, whatever vehicle, will know to charge - gives a false impression

Ive never called any body Mr.

[@AutoEV]

Then you, sir, have no manners....(but thanks for watching!)

[@drphilgarner]

Lol not diameter, or radius, it's circumference!

[@AutoEV]

Yup, schoolboy error.......

[@PauloSilva-bb5tt]

So you prefer Tata crap?

[@AutoEV]

If you are referring to Tata's ownership of Jaguar, then yes, I prefer the I-Pace. It's a better design, more innovative, is better and more entertaining to drive, and is more efficient. Hardly 'cr@p' as you so succinctly put, but you are entitled to your opinion of course. Thanks for watching however.

[@PauloSilva-bb5tt]

@@AutoEV It is also your opinion.

[@AutoEV]

@@PauloSilva-bb5tt Indeed it is, and one I'd like to think is reasonably informed given my experience.

[@PauloSilva-bb5tt]

@@AutoEV I work in the auto sector and have a different opinion. And, I am not british ...

[@AutoEV]

@@PauloSilva-bb5tt which as I have said, you are entitled to. However, our opinion is not based upon nationality, but rather what we feel is the better car having extensively tested both over many miles, and on separate occasions. Whilst we like a lot of things about the Audi, we feel that the Jaguar is the better car, and superior in many different areas making it (in my opinion, one that has been formed over almost 30 years in the automotive sector) the better car. My point is your use of defamatory language to question our judgement is not welcome, and I would urge you to refrain from it on here. Now, let's agree to disagree and maintain some decorum. Thank you.
