Welcome, everyone, to a slightly worse Audi e-tron. Set to arrive in the UK early next year, the e-tron 50" quattro will be cheaper than the existing e-tron "55" quattro (Audi hasn"t yet said by how much), but come with a smaller battery, meaning less range and less performance. The existing e-tron 55 starts at a little over 70K. For that you get 402bhp and 490lb ft. The 50, which like the 55 is all-wheel drive, has to make do with 308bhp and 398lb ft. 0-62mph takes 7 seconds and the top speed is capped at 118mph, making it 1.3 seconds and 6mph slower than the 55. No big deal the e-tron is a family SUV and does not need to be fast. Range is a big deal, though. The 55 gets a whopping 95kWh battery pack, enough for a claimed 248 miles of driving range. In the real world you"re looking at about 200 miles of usable range at least that"s what we got when we took one to Exmoor to test against the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace.
