Not one brand can compete with the light system of Audi.
Well, the backup lights aren't good on many Audi models. With the lightbar 3rd party upgrades are very difficult.

What happens when you connect two 11KW AC chargers to two ports simultaneously?
Hi Thomas. I have Tesla M3P and Audi e-tron Sportback 55. They both do 220 miles on a full charge. The additional Tesla range is a myth. I use mine on motorways twice per week, 242 miles return journey, they have the same range. Tesla has smaller battery- 75 kWh - to the Audi 95kwh I know. But at 72 mph/125 Kmh on the motorway runs, they’re both the same. And the Audi gives very accurate predictive range, unlike Tesla. I can safely and confidently run the Audi range down to 10 miles. I can’t in the Tesla. So I don’t think range is quite the issue it appears... Love the channel ! Thanks. Robert.
Thanks for the report Robert! What is your energy consumption in each? Caus i had massive difference in 23 kwh/100 km (37 kwh on 100 miles) for the audi and just 13 for the Model 3 (20 kwh on 100 miles)
The best I did with my e-tron 50 was 19,7 kWh/100 km on a 95 km trip on Landstrassen in Holland.
@@autogefuehl Hi Thomas, sorry for delay, I didn't see your reply my children showed me yesterday !! Using Aqua-Calc converter, my consumption is: Audi (e-tron 55 base model at 2264 miles total) 2.3 miles/kwh = 27 kWh/100km. Tesla (M3 Performance at 7387 miles total) 336 wh/mile = 3.0 miles/kwh = 20.7 kWh/100km. These figures are similar to yours, and give a realistic range of Audi (2.3 x 95kwh) 218.5 miles, and Tesla (3.0 x 75kwh) 225 miles. This is exactly my experience of max range - the same !! We no longer use the Tesla ! We like both cars, but since it arrived in May the family car is the Audi now, we much prefer it for the size and space and versatility. The more we use it, the more impressive it has become. For us it was half the price of Model X on monthly leasing. Looking forward to your test of the new E-Tron S 60 soon !!!!!
@@CybertuxSpain That's a very good result, my best is 23kwh/100km !!
@@robertprince7363 Why don't you calculate with the net usable battery capacity? You cannot use 95 kWh...
Great vid! I cant wait to test drive.
ordered my Sportsback here in Norway, thx for great insights and great reviews!
Loved It!
I think Hyundai/Kia rear view mirrors are the best implementation.....you still have normal mirrors left/right, but in the dashboard you get the camera for left/right in your blind spot when you signal.

I love this guy,great review of a car coming December.thanks from uk and we miss you.
Thanks m8, feel free to recommend 😊
I need this car this year😍😍👍👍
Thank you for the fantastic review! I ended up getting a similar car for my family based on your input and the comments. I did go with animal-free seats and regular mirrors. Great advice!
thank you so much Jeffrey! Highly appreciated your choice and your donation !!
Hi Jeff, How are you finding the car after 1 year? Did you go with the regular e tron or the Sportsback? Thanks
I am still very pleased. Range has held steady even after several long road trips. The new Q8 e-tron has more range but mine has been very good for my needs. Very comfortable car. “Knock on wood”, no major maintenance needed. Handles really well in winter weather with Audi-recommended winter tires. Still very impressed!
Thank you Jeff. It’s a superb vehicle and glad you’re enjoying the ownership. It’s the best looking & refined EV I think in the US market, just a shame we don’t get more options such as the EQC and iX3 as they have in Europe. In terms of range, do you get in the 200+ in good weather or 160-180 as I’ve seen some reviewers comment? Also, would you consider owning the vehicle post the manufacturer warranty? In the US there’s not many past 50,000 miles to see long term reliability but in Europe there are some with 200K miles still looking in shape.
@@cosminciuraru good points! When it is very cold, I will get about 175 miles on the e-tron Sportback on a full charge for a road trip. Normal range for me at 80% is 185 miles except when exceptionally cold. Charging speed on a DC fast charger is exceptional given the relatively flat charging performance to 80%. There are owners in the AudiWorld forum that drive more frequently than I do as most of my experience is shorter duration driving and not in heavy traffic most of the time. The Daytona Grey color has held up nicely and is easy to hand wash as the Sportback is not too tall.
Jesus 115K euros that's enough money to buy a Zoe or bottom spec Model 3 and still have a dream holiday on each of the continents on this planet with your family.
Groaznic But nobody actually pays 115k€ for that car. It’s much cheaper in reality because like with any traditional car you can negotiate the price at the dealership. I got mine for 83k€ with everything equipped.
17:32I wait for this part every time:)) Dangerous!
That’s what happened to Charles I
Does the dynamic mode make it faster? I thought the gear in S gave you the boost, and the dynamic only makes the suspenison tighter? Cant it be just as quick in S gear mode and comfort mode?
Amazing review Autogefühl and team. Could you'll also review the GV80 of Genesis.
thanks ! cannot get it here unfortunately :(
thanks for the review. keep reviewing EV cars. It's the future!
100% agree on side mirror issue. In my opinion Audi should focus on range and efficiency...
Love Audi e-tron sportback. Amazing comfort.
U were right Thomas about new technology side mirrors I prefer normal ones
22:03, 23:48 - The rubber they use for the accelerator and brake pedals is so squeaky. Any solution for fixing this?
I love Thomas "Full HD, full screen and full lenght" LETS FUCKING GOOOO!! 😍
enjoy =)
Hi Thomas, if you switch the regeneration from "automatic" to "manual", via MMI, it will remember the flipper settings. Thank you for this nice review!
Ohh interesting thanks!
Will include that in the etron S review
I would pick the E-tron Sportback
Nice
3:26 Ah, nice one. 😎😂
I will get more excited for electric when Audi releases an electric mid-size sedan or coupé.
Then you will hope for nothing. It’s the SUV market now lol
@@jamiemcgrath1292 isn't a coupe coming out this year?
Audi Etron gt should debut in a week
@@flyingscotsman32 Yes, and I look forward to it! But that will be a $90000 to $170000 car. I want a $65000 BEV S5!
music / song title at the beginning of your video? TIA
Excellent review as always Thomas , and indeed if you lack the infrastructure the EV car is not the solution. Amazing car with mediocre range and a huge bill tag.
thanks m8
Thomas, one other question. Is the car autonomous...ie if you programme the destination into Navigation system, can it drive all the way by its self? Also regarding the side mirrors, I agree with you.
thanks! nope it aint
Nice video. Gruss.
Great review, as always. Thanks for mentioning the DC port location on UK cars :)
Everyone seemed to hate the S60 Cross Country (which I sort of liked) a few years ago, saying that a jacked up saloon would never work... This looks a lot like a jacked up saloon to me
I guess the haptic touch is supposed to reduce false taps whilst driving on bumpy roads etc if you have to give it a very positive press ?
interesting aspect, but still not convinced =)
22:09 I'd love to know how much a wing mirror is to replace. They look fragile and hugely expensive.
The stalks are very ugly too; it looks like the mirrors have been broken off.
Thomas I have seen you reviewing the Range Rover sport and velar, how about reviewing THE Range Rover!
a little older, but still: kzhead.info/sun/Z7Zmmc6vhX95eKs/bejne.html
Great review, Thomas, as always. I'm furious at Audi for not releasing a configurator for the Q4 SUV yet. They teased us with the base price and no further information on it available since.. We are seriously considering ordering it. Any word on when dealers will start accepting orders? And/or what's the hold-up?
Thanks! Hmm no idea
@@autogefuehl Damn:( I'll keep an eye out. Btw, Thomas, if I were to buy a car in Germany and bring it to another EU country, can I benefit from the tax cuts introduced by the German government for electric cars?
The boot is ruthless my A6 broke and I had to force it open to get my dog out, took a lot to get it open. Also you should mention the power close doors don't care either, I tried to carefully shut my car door at night to avoid waking people, left my thumb in the way and it cranked the door shut on my thumb. The car door didn't wake anyone up but my screaming as it whirred shut did.
ohhh shit! hope your thumb is better again. Thanks for sharing
In Honda mirrors have a lot better view angles. At Audi they prioritized design over functionality that is why their position in not good. The idea with cam instead of mirrors is very cool but should have put the monitors in the line of your site and with wider view angles.
I dont see any purpose for the digital mirror and I can imagine how easy to break it
I was surprised you didn’t think the EQC was superior. You mentioned the interior quality in the EQC was better. Perhaps having the Audi’s sound deadening package helped. I personally love the Sportback styling but feel the car is too large and heavy. Perhaps the BMW i4 or Audi Q4 etron will soon be reviewed.
Not necessarily is the build quality of the buttons and switches etc. of the EQC better, rather the other way around. What I meant is that the EQC offers more sustainable high class animal-free seating and covers also in high trims. Both great cars, though not that efficient in the electric drive
Renault Zoe offers 22kw AC charging and Audi offers 11kw AC charging as standard. I am waiting for the optional 22kw AC to be available on the website. So far nothing.
Thomas is holding an invisible fish in every thumbnail.
xD
Good work soldier
lol.
Excellent Review of a nice expensive (did I hear 130k?) car. That at present, is ok for the rich as a 2nd or 3rd car if they have access to a comfortable ICE car, and can charge at home. Personally I think I'd prefer an e-Golf (still available from stock. You could by three or four for the price of this e-tron), rather than an ID.3! At 6:33, yes Thomas, nice wheels. Monitors for cameras in lieu of door mirrors sited, err, out of sight: "are dangerous", Thomas? Yes! Ornate large distracting touchscreen(s) when driving? Not very good. Many thanks for all your great work, Autogefuhl; don't change. Best wishes.
116 k :)
What's the handling performance of electric vehicles in country side roads for example in Serengeti in Kenya?
Wait for the Cybertruck! It will be cheaper than this, longer range, more hardwaring, seating for 6 and has 40cm ground clearance.
well you can exactly see that here: kzhead.info/sun/fJyqm9dlmadsmGg/bejne.html
Can you please do the Dodge Challenger next :D
What Album did you mention in the video?
Nora van Elken - Skyforest
If only we had the camera mirrors in the US :(
Buy a Hyundai and you'll get a better system than this Audi.

Omer Yehezkely rather buy a good quality Audi
Fantastic review Thomas. I 100% agree with you on the virtual mirrors - they are dangerous and unnecessary. Your car reviews are the best and much more smart and professional than that Brummie Carwow comedian who shows up in his shorts and t-shirt.
Thanks for being here!
Audi e-tron is good or Audi q4 e-tron
I'm probably a bit biased since I currently drive the regular e-tron (great car, except the audi app hardly works, can't even use the remote climate control), but after seeing the e-tron sportback on the road today (s-line, 20", Daytona, Chrome), I'm happy I didn't wait for the sportback. I also have the black headliner wihout sunroof and don't think it's too dark inside, there's plenty of light coming in from all the (large) windows. Perhaps if your current daily driver has a panoramic roof, the difference is more noticable and may indeed look a bit dark. I just don't like to drive a fishbowl so I go for the batcave version :)
Thanks and enjoy 😉
I have seen the Mirror Cameras on the Trucks Thomas , They do look good because they are situated in the correct place . On the Audi however mate , it's a no
33:18 Can't wait for in depth review of Honda-E, that you've promised. Any time soon?!
yeah .. waiting for it too. I ll ask
About the side mirror you mentioned. It's now allowed in China to have that electric ones by the traffic administration, you still have them in classic mirrors here.
I love your videos! You should do a video in Deutsch, it will be more easy for some to understand you know? It would be a change and very cool!
Thanks! That would exclude the rest of the world
Yeah I get what you mean. It would be cool if you did though. Keep up the work! Much love from Austria!

You mention a lot it is very silent but throughout your video you can hear a lot of "whining" from the EV-drive. This could be too much emphasized by the microphones as the general road noise is much louder than in reality. So how did you experiencied/noticed the whining noise of the drivetrain?
yeah I also noticed while editing that this comes more on microphone than it does in reality
Audi need to stop putting too much makeup on their new cars. Clean, beautiful lines please.
the chrome vertical lines on the front grill =___________=
Great review. I would rather have the regular E-tron with regular side mirrors.
thats way go to indeed
The regular is so booooring.
I really like the shape of this, but it's the E-Tron GT that really interests me.
You mention that electric vehicles are always better minus some caveats but I've read reviews that ride quality is often somewhat compromised due to battery weight. I haven't experienced it for myself, but is this true?
I didnt feel it was a problem yet
Really excellent review and detail as always from Thomas - well done. Nice car but simply too expensive! And if you must have an EV (in the UK), Tesla's charging system might reason enough to go for a... err, Tesla!
I work for FAW-VW, the joint venture of Audi and FAW in China. 2021 Mar. This car will be released in Chinese market. Maybe next video you can speak German. I wanna learn more terms in German. Thx for the video.
Is this the S line with three electric motors, Thomas?
s-line = styling s version = coming up hp tuned version
This or the EQC?
Affordable cars for the average guy again pls.! And Brian! ;-)
The real comparison for this will be the Polestar 2. Should be very interesting.
This is more like a SUV, Polestar more like a sedan
@@markmd9 it's a luxury fastback. Yeah it's a bit smaller but similar in trim and superior in specs.
The Polestar 2 is built on the CMA platform, so it's only slightly bigger than the XC40. Not even remotely in the same class.
When they make it exactly like the one in Avengers Endgame, then they can have my money.
They are.. It's called etron gt...
1st, thx
Thank you... in English
Witch Seat are in this car?
animal skin
Tesla Björn is doing 1000km tests for all EVs and the Model X Raven and eTron 55 took 10:20h (Model 3 LR 10:00h), means no difference. The eTron compensates it's low range with the excellent flat charging curve from 10 to 80% at 150kw....see charging curve at Fastned. As you can see only 20mins for the Model 3 on 1000km...for sure one of the reasons why the eTron is the most sold car in Norway...even more than Any ICE! And this range test was done before the range improvements were available in the eTron, which is available in the Sportback. Cannot see THE Advantage of Tesla other than bad built quality 😉😎...and a noisy car...Model 3 at 74db at 130km/h...any modern ICE Car, like a Ford Focus, is currently at 69db and the eTron at 64db. OK the charging infrastructure is still better, but not true for a country like Norway anymore. Electrifyamerica is also not that bad according to ABRP (abetterrouteplanner.com).
interesting, thanks! I guess it is rather the convenience of not needing to charge that often on a longer trip or being able to do a certain length without a charge
@@autogefuehl on a long trip this excellent charging curve is improving the situation for the eTron...but if you drive "only" 500km, which happens more often😉, the better Range of a Tesla makes it worse for the eTron again. Nevertheless, I just mention this 1000km Tests, since the eTron is in general underestimated from a lot of EV Fans just looking at the pure range value, but there is the charging time, which is no parameter for ICEs at all, but very important for any EV. For the eTron you do not need to know the charging curve for loading like for any other EV, including Tesla , but just plug in and you will get the 150kw. support.fastned.nl/hc/en-gb/articles/360000815988-Charging-with-an-Audi-e-tron
The Sportback looks way better then original model etron. Its just way to heavy right now and needs to drop about 800lbs before I would consider this purchase.
I'll prefer the normal side mirror, these camera mirrors probably attract unwanted attention and some people may just damage it for "fun" and cause more $ to replace...
The regen setting is bizarre.
This car has ONE major flaw: the windshield fluid dispenser does not shoot/squirt the liquid to the middle of the windshield. It shoots it at the lower 20%. So future owners take note if you're ok with that. I just bought mine less than 2 weeks ago and I wish to Hell ppl would review this instead of some "Ooo look at the nice leather!" bull crap. Of course, it's $47,000+!! The leather has better be nice!! Make the car in Germany cuz obviously the Hungarian engineers aren't up to the task.
the odd side mirror/camera must be weird.....
13:55 - 14:12 pure ASMR perfectionist❤️💣💥 More please that microfon with Your natural rumbled voiced is match 😉

Hi Thomas! Great video, thanks. I don’t like the sports back cars. Prefer the original shapes. The two digital displays seem to be very techno. I think it should have been a single large display like the Tesla. Also that large gap in the centre armrest area ???? People will think your forgot an important option.
cheers pal! yeah..
Se a grade fosse da côr preta seria mais bonita.
I wonder what your catch phrase will sound like when 4k becomes the next full hd.
„In 4K, 4 screens and 4 lengths”

Yeah. The rear is too bulky. Other than that the design is flawless

KIA/HYUNDAI DOES THE BEST DIGITAL MIRRORS WHERE THEY SHOW IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.
3:23 lol who wants to take this one home? I don’t get it
E.T. The movie :)
Oh lol because it has ET in it.
well played @Uros
can you open an instagram account to see your outfits ? thank you
Model y or this?
If you want better tech, auto pilot and way better efficiency go with the Y. If you like a more traditional vehicle with Audi typical interior go with the E-Tron.
The Audi e-tron 50/55 is about the same price as the Model X. And I think the e-tron is better! The Audi Q4 e-tron will be in the Model Y’s price class.
NSX
I love that it is a normal car and is not extravagant as these types of cars tend to be like Tesla etc.
I love the single pedal driving feature available in Tesla vehicles - it's unfortunate that this convenient option isn't available with Audi or Porsche electric cars
What? I have an Audi etron and it has single pedal driving
Looks nice. But wouldn't it be cheaper to just have 1 big portrait screen instead of having two screens?
Not everyone wants a Tesla
I don’t understand why Audi just couldn’t put the mirrors somewhere around the digital cockpit. It makes sense and that would be an advancement.
super quality SUV but just like EQC it is very thirsty and not efficient. I hope Audi have learned this and we will see this when the Q4 SUV is launched
The EQC is not that inefficient for being a big SUV. I drove 500km of Swedish mixed highways (90-110km/h) Yesterday averaging 21 kWh/100km. 380km range.
Yeah, Audi realized this. Now that is the reason why Audi is building new platforms for the EV audis
Go eco, go animal free 👌
👌
Audi designers very lazy here. Opportunity for a cleaner design because of less air intakes needed and what do they do? Keep the look of huge intakes, but they are almost all fake! Come on, these oversized grilles need to go anyway. Audi, you once were about bold styling and strong choices, not follow-the-leader, me too, huge grille styling. This is terrible. And calling it a sport back doesn’t mean it’s not still jacked up like the pseudo-suv that it is, complete with all the drawbacks of an SUV and none of the benefits.
This can could be a great choice 3-4 years ago, but now as Model Y is coming, it is not such an appealing buy. I get that it is more Luxurious and maybe better quality, than Y, but Y is much cheaper has +60-80% range, more sporty, and has about the same space inside.
Ferenc Tóth 80% more range? That would be 800km of range... more like 20% more range and the e-Tron got the better charging curve, so for road tripping I would still choose the e-Tron. And the better quality is definitely worth the 20k€ price difference.
Suddenly there seems to be an awful lot more ads than before. What gives...?! It's annoying as hell.
Hm, I specifically asked KZhead about that a couple of days ago, if there is a risk that the system could show too much ads, they said that shouldnt happen. How many did you get and in which period?
@@autogefuehl I don't know... Know you need them, guess it's ok, was just a bit annoyed in the heat of the moment... Worn off now... Hehe...
Thanks!
Here's legacy evs problem, they can't make them affordable, perform, and at volume. Because it will cannabilize their ice cars. So you can have two of the three while Tesla has three of the three and slowly chokes them to death.
Charles Yu “chokes them to death”? The e-Tron absolutely dominates the Model X where I live... And btw Audi will release the Q4 e-Tron this year which will be a relatively cheap car based on a BEV platform, which means higher range, better efficiency and lower production costs.
@@lorenzmuller4000 soon, you'll see
Charles Yu BMW, Mercedes and Audi offered basically the same product for years and they still exist... People are even willing to drive a worse vehicle just to show that they are different. Also until Tesla fixes the quality issues they won’t sell many cars in Europe.
I just don't understand the side cameras and screens instead of door mirrors: We have to take our eyes further from the road to see the image. A technology showcase that no one needs and negatively impacts safety... Like the crazy HVAC screen and deletion of the jogdial on the infotainment
Tesla has ruined it for everyone, you can not stop comparing it to a Tesla. These cars are phones with batteries on wheels and Tesla like Apple, got the best software in terms of features and how often you receive updates...
Truly a monstrous dead end of car development.
