This will enable the Audi e-tron to better compete with the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace.
Audi s electric expansion is about to begin with the launch of the e-tron GT this summer as the German automaker prepares to become an EV-only brand by 2026. Don t think, however, that Audi has forgotten about its first EV: the e-tron. As battery technology has improved since the electric SUV launched in 2019, Autocar reports that Audi is planning a major update for the e-tron and e-tron Sportback as part of a mid-cycle facelift.
As part of the update planned for 2022, the e-tron and e-tron Sportback will be upgraded with new battery technology offering an increased range of 373 miles in both variants.
