آوڈی e-tron

Audi launched the first generation of its luxury electric SUV, e-tron, in Pakistan in March 2020. Audi e-tron was the first electric car to ever debut in Pakistan. The car got Pakistanis so excited that its first 50 units were sold even before the car’s official arrival in the country. Audi Pakistan imports the CBU units of this Electric Vehicle (EV) from Germany. Currently, Audi e-tron, Audi e-tron Sportback, Audi e-tron GT Quattro, and Audi RS e-tron GT, all are available for bookings.

Internationally, there are more than 25 models of electric SUVs and sedans with the ‘e-tron’ badge.In Pakistan, we only have a few of them, mostly SUVs.  

EVs are still not practical in Pakistan because of the poor charging infrastructure. There are only a handful of EV charging stations in the whole country. That is why Pakistanis are a little skeptical about buying an electric car. Still, Audi e-tron is enjoying healthy sales in the local market, and the car has the potential to go far in the Pakistani auto market. 

Exterior

Audi e-tron is just as aggressive and sporty as the other Audi cars. Sharp lines on the car’s body define its shape and futuristic design. LED headlamps at the front with an innovative lighting technology set the car apart. The rear profile looks smart with an LED light strip and a dynamic flashing light. 

Interior

Audi e-tron is the perfect combination of power and luxury. TThe spacious cabin has a two-tone premium quality interior made of recycled materials.
