Audi e-tron wins 2020 Wards 10 Best Interiors award

Audi has announced the 2019 e-tron SUV was named one of the 2020 "Wards 10 Best Interiors" award winners. The first fully electric Audi vehicle, the e-tron is a true premium midsize SUV, built with everyday performance and functionality in mind.

Like other Audi vehicles, the e-tron integrates premium materials and fit and finish as well as cutting-edge technologies like the Virtual Cockpit instruments display, head-up display, dual-screen MMI infotainment with natural speech recognition, built-in Amazon Alexa, Integrated Toll Module and capacitive-sensing steering wheel. The e-tron also comes with unique touches like its stationary digital gear selector that serves as a hand rest when operating the MMI with haptic touch displays, open-pore burled walnut trim, leather seating surfaces with technical stitching influenced by circuit boards and a three-dimensional dashboard designed to provide tranquility through its minimalist, clean design and quiet, serene cabin.

Additionally, the e-tron has appointments luxury buyers expect with its available heated, ventilated and massaging front seats and heated rear seats, and available four-zone automatic climate control.

As functional as it is luxurious, the Audi e-tron is capable of hauling 57 cubic feet of cargo with the rear seats folded.

The e-tron is powered by two asynchronous electric motors that produce up to 402 hp and 490 lb-ft of torque in boost mode. With its electric quattro all-wheel drive, the e-tron is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds. Its 95 kWh battery allows the 2019 e-tron SUV to travel an EPA-estimated 204 miles between charges, and the e-tron can recharge about 80% of its battery energy in just 30 minutes using 150 kW high-speed public charging.

The Audi e-tron is assembled in a certified carbon-neutral plant in Brussels, Belgium, as evaluated by agency Vincotte. For Wards’ evaluation, industry analysts evaluated a 2019 model. The e-tron will be joined by the 2020 e-tron Sportback later this year. Audi is planning approximately 30 electrified vehicles expected to go on sale globally by 2025.
