New Zealand review: the Audi e-tron 55 quattro is a 300kW super-chonker

Is it an SUV? Is it a crossover? Is it a station wagon? Yes, yes, and yes. The 300 kW Audi e-tron 55 quattro seems to be three cars in one, with a massive 95 kWh battery and ride quality like a Rolls Royce (seriously, it's that good). But what's this Bavarian Bertha like in New Zealand's twisty back roads? Well, there's only one way to find out!

The e-tron's (and Taycan's) guessometers update their estimates when you put a destination in the built-in navigation. They get dead accurate when you do that! The route overview will also give you a wildly accurate estimate of the percentage you'll be arriving with.
Great review! I had one of these for a while and it is an insanely comfortable car with a magical suspension. I even accidentally took it off-roading and it did surprisingly well over 2 hours of dirt / boulder mountain driving. The Jeeps couldn't believe their eyes.
I now have a Taycan which really feels like the more playful and sporty sibling of the e-tron (because it is really). On some days where I'm just doing distance I still miss the comfort and quiet of the e-tron a little.
And it's made in Belgium, like me 🇧🇪!

No offense mate, but this is NOT large a car. I came from a Q7 and petrol Q8 to a Q8 etron and I can’t emphasize just how much smaller the car is based on every dimension. Put them side by side. It’s heavy as hell. I’ll grant that.
