2019 Audi e-tron
Audi unveiled the all-electric e-tron sports utility vehicle this week, the brand’s first pure EV. It’s been nearly a decade since the company’s exhilarating electric R8 sports car was introduced—and three years since the battery-powered e-tron Quattro concept was first shown. Those vehicles generated a lot of excitement among auto enthusiasts and EV fans alike. But the e-tron that was revealed in San Francisco this week was aimed at wider appeal.
“What we nailed down four years ago is that it would be a mid-size SUV,” Anthony Foulk, Audi senior product manager, told me. “We wanted it to be in the heart of the fastest-growing segment of the market.”
Foulk’s comment is the key to understanding the Audi e-tron electric SUV, which goes on sale in mid-2019. While it employs cool design flourishes inside and out—and a brisk 5.5-second pace from zero to 60 m.p.h.— Audi’s first EV is mostly about demonstrating how a battery-powered car can be your one and only car.
