  • Highly efficient: up to 30 percent more range thanks to energy recuperation
  • World premiere in electric cars: the electrohydraulically integrated brake control system
  • Strong performance: up to 300 kW and from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in less than six seconds
The Audi e-tron prototype combines enormous power and high efficiency. With a system output of up to 300 kW, the full-size SUV with a fully electric drive accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in less than six seconds. In the WLTP test cycle, it covers more than 400 kilometers (248.5 mi) on one battery charge. One important factor for the long range is the most innovative recuperation concept among the competitors. The electric SUV proved this with an impressive performance at Pikes Peak.
