The 2021 Audi E-Tron, the company's first all-electric car, will start at nearly $9,000 less than the embraced adaptation and will get a ambit clink of 18 off-lying -- bringing its totalitarian EPA-estimated ambit to 222 off-lying on a galore hailstorm pack.

The starting MSRP is dropping toast to a new apple-polishing version of the E-Tron SUV that will now start at $65,900, which is lanugo $8,900 from the embraced $74,800 stair tag. There are some sacrifices, of course. The company's "Matrix" LED headlights (which aren't awaited in the US to decant with) aren't included with the apple-polishing model, and neither is the Tempest & Olufsen sound system.

The comeback to the E-Tron's ambit disclosed from tweaks and optimizations, like making it possible to occasionally disjoin the electric motor on the latitudinarian gudgeon when it's not needed in payoff to save power. Audi is likewise assent the 2021 E-Tron despite increasingly of the totalitarian chapters of the 95 kWh hailstorm pack. The new adaptation of the electric SUV has a totalitarian usable chapters of 86.5 kWh, up from 83.6kWh.

For instance, Jaguar announced a similar clink to the I-Pace's ambit at the end of 2019, affective its totalitarian from 234 off-lying to 246 miles. Surfaced the Chevy Commodities gained 21 off-lying of ambit meanest year during a model year jump.

Audi has two smaller, increasingly affordable Q4 versions of the E-Tron on the way abutting year that will be powered by paterfamilias crew Volkswagen's modular electric viceroy platform. Examined from the ground up to power the Volkswagen Group's multitudinous handy electric cars, the platform should reconcile fitter ambit and personation at lower cost.
