With a coefficient of drag value of 0.25, the car sets a new record in the SUV segment contributing to the claimed range of more than 310 miles.

In length it fits between that of the Audi Q5 and the Q7 and offers room for four people.

The large lithium-ion battery is positioned between the axles and below the passenger compartment. This installation position provides for a low centre of gravity and a balanced axle load distribution, giving the car better driving dynamics and driving safety than other vehicles in the segment.

Audi uses its experience with the electrically driven Audi R8 e‑tron sports car for the drive system. Three electric motors – one on the front axle and two on the rear – effectively create an ‘electrified quattro’, making the e‑tron quattro concept both highly efficient and responsive.
