RECHARGED AMBITION

THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE REVOLUTION IS CLOSER THAN EVER, WITH EVEN TOP OF THE LINE SUVs SWITCHING FROM FUEL-POWERED ENGINES. AMONG THEM IS THE AUDI E-TRON, WHICH ABHIK DAS TOOK FOR A SPIN

Audis are really likeable cars, ranking among my personal favourites—my love for them stems from the brilliant mix of technology, performance and classy, understated appeal. An electric amalgamation would encompass all these factors, and that’s exactly what the new Audi e-tron SUV is aiming for.

The e-tron borrows much of its underpinnings from the Q5’s MLB evo platform but the dimensions place it among the likes of the Q7 while the styling is closer to that of the Q8. That sporty, low-slung, fast SUV look is on point with current trends. The e-tron gets trick Digital Matrix LED headlights that perform a quick light show upon locking and unlocking the car but I’m sure they’re capable of much more given their projection capability with brighter, longer throw illumination.
