Audi e-tron from $148,500

Audi’s electric e-tron SUV arrives in New Zealand dealerships mid-2019 priced from $148,500.

Two models will be available – the e-tron 55 quattro and the higher spec e-tron 55 quattro Advanced.

The all-wheel drive offers up to 300kW power output from its two electric motors, more than 400km range, fast charging at up to 150kW and 0 to 100km/h acceleration in 5.7 seconds with boost.

Pre-registered customers can now pre-order the car.

“We have received unprecedented interest in the Audi e-tron,” Audi New Zealand general manager Dean Sheed says. “We offered our customers the opportunity to reserve one of 100 vehicle build slots, with our production allocation selling out in just eight days.

“Our first fully electric car being a SUV with off-road capability could not be more suited to the New Zealand environment,” Sheed says.

“Add to that a number of world class features and the car will be highly sought after in the Kiwi market.”

The e-tron is built in Audi’s CO2-neutral plant in Brussels.
