Electric SUVs are the flavour of the month, and this ladies and gents, is Audi"s two-scoops into the market: the e-tron. Just like the original Quattro, the German firm is leaving the numbers and letters behind to make a branding statement in the all-electric SUV market. Most notably, taking the fight to Tesla"s Model X, Jaguar"s I-Pace and Mercedes" impending EQ C. Utilising a 95kWh lithium-ion battery and dual-motors good for 300kW of output (402bhp and 490lb ft of torque in old money), the e-tron can reach 62mph in less than six seconds and silently stomp on to a limited top speed of 124mph. However, it"s also capable of 150kW DC fast charging meaning you can juice it up to 80 per cent in 30 minutes. Which is the real race when owning an EV, and, crucially, one that you"ll beat a Tesla at.
