Finally, a true auto enthusiast voicing his honest opinion about EVs. Great review. If and when I do buy one it won’t be a Tesla.

[@simonrose8558]

Love the range anxiety at the end. For that money it's it's fully loaded B3 Alpina wagon with change for a few tanks of fuel. Well done. Overtaking or not , when it's wet and twisty the laws of physics will start to assert their authority.

Hi Joe, great review as usual. Electric not for me, great tech and all but way too much planning and faffing about! BTW all thanks to you, I ordered my M340d today, gonna be a long 6 months wait but worth it! Keep up the excellent work

[@JoeAchilles1]

Haha awesome, an M340d is the pinnacle of car technology in 2021, an EV is what the government want us to think is the ultimate.... 😉

[@pelss7426]

The RSQ8-esque wheels look SO good as does the rest of the car. Great colour too!

[@AutomotiveEvangelist]

Wife just gave me the company car list and this is on it. I think this will work for her 10 mile commute just fine and there's already a charging point in the house we just moved to. I've driven a 2019 model a while back and liked it quite a bit but had decided there's not enough range as your only car. I'll have a diesel for long trips so I think it's worth getting this for doing day trips and that easy commute.

Joe suffering behind the wheel for hours in the name of science and for us.😊 . No getting away from EVs in the long run (government legislation has seen to that), but as someone who enjoys driving cars with feel, engagement and character - not to mention having far longer range) - I'll stick to analogue ice cars for a while yet!

[@paulfrost9549]

Excellent informative review Joe. I am due to replace my managers car next March and he / we as a company are exploring the EV route. His main priority is range and could live with around 225 to 250 as an absolute minimum. 200 for the e-tron sounds good for the weight but would be concerned how much that plummets as you said in the winter, lights, wipers, heater etc.

[@kryptoniteee]

Yes very interesting. Now give us an update. What did your manager get in the end?

[@paulfrost9549]

@@kryptoniteee Hyundai Tucson plug in hybrid, he doesn’t get it until March.

[@Pete-wk7pf]

Just chopped in my Tesla 3p for a Panamera Sport Turismo E Hybrid. Don’t do many long trips but when I do, don’t want to sit down in advance planning re-charge stops. Also, in winter, work on the basis you’ll get about half the advertised range.

Great review Joe! Your view on EVs is refreshing. They are great, and the coming technology, but perhaps only in the next 3 - 4 years will they be irresistible.

[@dwade3202]

I really dont care about the EV speed or torque, what I do appreciate is changing the gears myself and hearing the revs and sound of the engine. I don't think I'll ever be up for EVs, especially not these 2.5 tonnes monsters.

[@dwade3202]

@@dmomcilovic9185 yeah man, Im 28 yo, I totally want to go back 100 years. If they want diversity in the car industry, sure. But dont kill off ICE cars, like joe said, EVs are fun for the first few times you press the "gass" pedal and then they offer nothing. If youre talking about the environment, please. The rich 1% are responsible for 50%++ of the greenhouse gasses. Buy meat and veggies from local farmers, and youre doing more for the planet than driving an EV. In the city I see how EVs are good, but killing off fun sporty ICE cars is a hypocricy.

[@MMM18092]

That's the exact colour and config I am picking up on Thursday!

[@paulkaminski8829]

Such an expensive way to jump on the green bandwagon. The uk is not ready for Ev’s in general, ok for small city runs etc, as a family man with kids and all the hassle of trips to Cornwall and Lake District etc from East Anglia it simply doesn’t work for me. Great honest review again Joe, well done.

Good review. Running the battery to 0% will damage it so the real life range will be less than 200miles

[@neiljoseph904]

Great review, Joe. Lovely car; however for that sort of EV money I’d rather have a Taycan Cross Tourismo. Completely agree with your opinion on Tesla - well said. 👍🏽

[@JoeAchilles1]

Thanks man, yeah the Cross Tourismo looks mega, but back seat space is cramped compared to the e-tron. Cheers

[@aneebaba06]

Great review bro. Seeing so many more e-trons on the road and even several sportbacks now too.

[@SuperCatbert]

one of the nicest looking evs around. after the taycan. at 95k you could have a taycan tourismo 4s.........

[@BikeSausage]

As ever, great video Joe. Really useful test. But a £90k car that weighs 2.6t and delivers 206 miles? An absolute no-go, especially with the immaturity of the charging infrastructure for non-Teslas. Keep up the real world testing! I can’t wait for an A6 Allroad EV. It’ll never happen so my next car arriving in 2 months is a diesel version of that - partly thanks to your excellent review. The best not-SUV 4WD out there!

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the Video. One of my favourite Electric Vehicles

[@chrisgrant7291]

Great review Joe, would be good to see a comparison in the winter. As you say, not quite there yet with the EV's but no doubt the range will increase in time

[@benhopcroft3168]

Great video as always. Real life test.

[@blackhubbi]

@@JoeAchilles1 yes we are a lot that will stay in our patrol and diesel cars for ad long as possible. But ev is going very fast now. With a lot of discount from the state. The only way the can sell them .at least here in Denmark. But please keep up the very good work you do. I enjoy it 👍🏾🚗🚗

[@Watson1973]

They ok for commuting, urban, school runs etc.. then at weekend you could drive the sports car. But as a complete replacement it’s a No for me You can easily jump into a diesel car and go for a drive and not have a care in the world whereas a EV you need to plan your trip Bring a jacket so you don’t use the heating , an iPod so you can’t use radio otherwise you drain the battery plus finding charging stations that work with about 3 in a 50 car park average in the uk.

[@Zaid394]

The power figures almost match that of the original super fast SUV, the Q7 V12 TDI. This feels like it is the modern reincarnation of that car.

Excellent that you cover luxury EVs now, in such a beautiful scenery, with your enthusiasm I’m loving so much. Makes me aware what I missed in my many business trips to UK. Driving dynamics is the only thing I miss much. I would love to hear from you, how you see the difference between the Taycan and the etron GT, as I lust for one?

[@Tomoyo0827]

Even 250 miles is still very low for an suv....I don’t get Audi, why build a big family suv that’s only good for city driving and living?

[@JAM_2024]

Because they have limited experience building BEVs. Their expertise is building ICE vehicles.

[@angrynortherner3805]

Great video. I totally agree we are not ready for them especially with the poor battery recycling, environmental cost to manufacture along with the horrendous range.

I love the e-tron. I have a 2021 55 sportback and rolling acceleration and handling reminds me of my old 2018 S3. The initial standstill acceleration is a little slower than expected I bet Audi could reduce this and make it quicker.

Great review.... how much does the charing cost compared to what your 7 cost on full tank....

[@CleanFinish2023]

Love these videos, brilliant editing and really smart time lapse footage.....very entertaining for what could be very boring. When these cars do 500 miles on a charge I’ll start to get them but as it is, when I do a 600 mile round trip in a day for work on one tank in my G31, this would add far too much time and inconvenience currently.

OMG; you can see the disadvantages of the large rims and the sporty equipment extremely. An insignificantly slower e-tron 55 would provide 50 miles more real range. The villiage you are drving through looks so beatifull but the road seems a bit narrow or the car a bit wide :D

Great review as always. So I have no such need for big practical SUVs yet I have no interest in small hatchback size EVs. So Im forever wondering where the style going to come from? Where's the roaster maybe the hot hatchbacks that excite the driver, the cars that we drive not because we're going to work or to pick up the kids but just for the joy of driving on days like in your video. I despair, no engine noise no joy of driving are we a dying breed

[@chris-eccohealthcare]

Very interesting video joe. My sq7 can go back and I have been looking at a replacement. Not sure I would pay the extra for the S as I think the error would just do fine.

[@MrDanioDomingues]

[@exp098]

Why didn’t you drive it in “range” mode rather than comfort? That would’ve been a proper range test. However, that’s a good bit of distance covered. Surprisingly good for an Audi on an ICE platform.

Really interesting video Joe. As I asked when you wanted questions, I wanted to know if the Mrs could get to head office in Bournemouth from Stoke. Just like yourself, I don't think we're quite there yet. We wouldn't be able to do Cornwall in on hit and we always leave early to miss traffic. I also agree with you on Tesla's, they're bloody awful. The Audi looks like a normal car. Joe, I think we will keep the old bus for a little longer. She just keeps on going. F10 5 series. What a car.👍

[@normanwatson9056]

Top review Joe, like you i'm not ready for EV's even though they are creeping into the back of my mind, sounds like it won't be long before the torque will snap your neck, at least the drive can still be fun! My major concern is the battery lifespan, say i was to buy a 4 year old e-tron in the future, would i have to replace aa battery, as range has got to shorten over time i would imagine?

[@sv-rh4dz]

Great review Joe, more real world reviews on EV cars needed, always too much focus on trying to better 0-60 times of ICE sports cars.
