German carmaker Audi is set to spearhead the electrification of luxury transportation in the Kingdom. The full range of all-electric vehicles arrives in showrooms this year, setting the bar ever higher for luxury electrified mobility. The e-tron range will not only give Audi a head start on electric luxury transport in Saudi Arabia but will also show off the manufacturer’s capabilities in terms of future technology.
The RS e-tron GT has a rocketlike, 3.3-second acceleration from standstill to 100km/h, while the e-tron GT quattro accelerates in 4.1-seconds. The e-tron GT quattro has a range of up to 488 kilometers, and on the other hand, the RS e-tron GT has a range of up to 472 kilometers (in accordance with the WLTP). This is made possible by the battery, which has a net capacity of 83.7 kWh. The e-tron GT only needs 22.5 minutes on a high-power charging column for a typical charge of 5 percent to 80 percent. This makes the e-tron GT efficiently sporty and offers a 100 km range on a five-minute charge.
Progress, craftsmanship, and a passion for high performance come together in the Audi e-tron range featuring exhilarating launch control, boosting the cars’ ability to deliver up to 530 hp on the e-tron GT quattro, and 646 hp on the RS, an extraordinary power at the driver’s fingertips.
“There is no doubt that the Audi e-tron will be the leader in e-mobility across Saudi Arabia,” said Neil Lines, Audi general manager at Samaco Automotive. “We are especially enthusiastic and optimistic about the success of this unrivaled electric luxury grand tourer because Saudi Arabia is starting out strong with widespread electrification of transport. Also, one of the primary objectives of Saudi Arabia’s national transport strategy and key pillars of Vision 2030 is global leadership in sustainable development and awareness of healthy living.”
The Audi e-tron range’s electrifying performance is driven home with equally electrifying design, style, and attention to detail, from the dynamic roofline to the turbine-shaped wheels, and the extremely slippery exterior. The e-tron is not only visually electrifying, but invokes the silky-smooth sound of a high-quality, high-power electric motor that at once captivates and exhilarates the driver’s senses. The prominent, LED headlights highlight the Audi e-tron.
The Audi e-tron electric range is scheduled to be available in Saudi Arabia within the upcoming 12 months. Enthusiasts of electric premium grand tourers and lovers of Audi products can reserve bespoke models online including the Audi e-tron GT quattro, RS e-tron GT, and e-tron Sportback. Customers can select their very own combination of style and features built and finished to the exact high standards that they expect from the brand with the four rings.
