Slower, uglier, 357kg heavier and more expensive than an I Pace. Based on an adapted existing platform and can't match the aerodynamics of its competitors without using cameras for mirrors. If it wasn't Audi bringing it out people would be slating it. And if the tables were turned and it was Jag releasing an electric car adapted from an existing platform that was more expensive and had less advertised range than it's competition, people would be ripping Jag to shreds about not being up to the minute and being two steps behind everyone else. But because Audi have a huge following and are perceived as aspirational cars, it's fine and everyone wants one. People are weird. -

The CTR is a poor comparison benchmark for 0-60. It is heavily gimped in that metric by it's FWD, but by drawing the comparison you suggest that this vehicle is comparably quick which it certainly won't be. Stock for stock a Civic Type R will pull slightly on a Golf R from a roll even though the R (with the 6MT) will do 0-60 in 4. 8 vs the Type R's 5. 7. On a roll the Type R would walk this thing by a wide margin despite their similar 0-60 times.

I struggle to see the relevance of these cars, 200 mile range between 13 hour charges, going like a bat out of hell with every conceivable luxury, why? This is just saying you can have your cake and eat it, clearly we can't. If electric is to make a difference it has to be for the masses not the elite.

I don't want to hear again about the percentage of charge, In a given amount of time.
I want to know miles or KM per minute.
And I want to know range. E-trons EPA range is 205 miles. 30 percent less than comparable Tesla's.

I'm sorry but that was a rubbish review. Hardly a review at all. More importantly - which is better, the Audi or the Jaguar? Autocar back in the day was the place to go for car reviews. Now there is no point at all.

Can you explain how would you charge you car battery at home if you park at street parking, probably more people have in UK, also can you make a video how to install battery charging point at home if you can please?

Correct me if i'm wrong but how is lugging around 2. 5 metric tonnes better for the environment? I think humanity would be better positioned utilizing synthetic fuels rather than electric cars.

If there's one thing Audi does it's incremental but very quick improvement on each Model, eventually it'll catch up to the rest

Not sure how Autocar can justify a review that is only 4 mins in length with no other cross-platform social media associated with it.
