That isn't the case with the e-tron.

Audi's first entry into the electric SUV game is going to have stiff competition from Jaguar and Tesla.

Audi is still using QR codes like they're a thing.

The e-tron looks great, much more traditional looking than the I-Pace or the Model X.

The e-tron will pack three electric motors good for over 400 horsepower.

Audi predicts just over 300 miles per charge with a fast recharge time of just 30 minutes.

Audi will run a fleet of 250 e-tron prototypes which will log around 5 million kilometers of test miles.

Audi is expected to reveal the production car later this year in Brussels.

2019 model year deliveries to customers are expected to begin at the end of 2018.
