Audi first showcased the etron SUV in India back in June 2019 and it was expected to go on sale in 2020 but the launch was delayed due to the covid-19 outbreak in the country. Now, the carmaker has confirmed it will launch the etron SUV in India by June 2021. Along with the etron, Audi will launch the etron Sportsback SUV in India. While the etron is an electric SUV, the etron Sportsback, as the name suggests, is a coupe-SUV version of the etron.
Both the electric SUVs will be brought to India as a CBU unit to expect them to be identical to the global spec model. Both these SUVs are available with the same three powertrain options globally. Here is a look:
Audi is expected to launch both the SUVs in 50 Quattro trim only. In this trim, both the SUVs makes 313PS and 540Nm but while the etron has a range of up to 341km, etron Sportsback can go a bit further upto 349km.
On the inside, both the SUVs get a similar layout and feature a similar feature list. Features on offer include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, dual central touchscreens, four-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, a wireless charger and rearview cameras in place of ORVMs.
Prices of both SUVs are likely to be priced over Rs 1 crore. They will take on likes of the Mercedes Benz EQC and upcoming EVs like the Jaguar I-Pace and Tesla Model X.
