Audi e-tron 50 quattro: a cheaper version of the e-tron 55

Image
Audi will launch later this year the e-tron 50 quattro , a new version of the electric SUV which will have a power of 313 hp. Its 71 kWh battery will provide a range of more than 300 kilometers in the WLTP cycle. For now, there is no confirmed price, although the manufacturer says that it will be less than 70,000 euros . For a few months, it is known that Audi is preparing new sports versions of the e-tron. The best known is the Audi e-tron Sportback. In addition, a possible future Audi e-tron S, more sporty, will offer greater power than the conventional model thanks to the incorporation of a third engine in the rear axle, where it usually only has one. However, the German manufacturer has surprised by the presentation of the e-tron 50 Quattro, which is incorporated into the range as the access version, with less power and autonomy, and also at a lower price. source https://www.electrichunter.com/electric-cars/audi-e-tron-50-quattro-cheaper-version-e-tron-55
