As for features, the upcoming all-electric German SUV will be loaded up to the brim. Some of its key features include Matrix LED headlamps, 20-inch alloy wheels, 10.1-inch Audi MMI touchscreen infotainment, an 8.8-inch touch display for four-zone automatic climate control, ‘Virtual Cockpit’ digital instrument cluster, power-adjustable steering & front seats, electric tailgate, air suspension, a Bang and Olufsen sound system, ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, up to eight airbags, and many more.
The e-tron will come with a standard warranty of 2 years and a High Voltage Battery warranty of 8-yrs / 1.60 lakh kilometers.

Audi will import the e-tron as a Complete Built-Up (CBU) unit, so expect it to be priced between Rs 1 crore and Rs 4 crore (ex-showroom). Once launched, it will lock horns with the Mercedes-Benz EQC (Rs 1.04 Cr) and Jaguar I-Pace (Rs 1.05 – 1.12 Cr).
