15:43 It's a brand new vehicle right so why the steering control is so damn dirty xD
totally normal, that was the offroad vehicle where it is constantly dusty
Great review as always, Thomas! Didn't know you guys were coming down to UAE. I stay in Dubai and would have been nice to catch up with the Autogefuhl team!!
Nevertheless, a great first step by Audi. However, the idea of side cameras instead of mirrors is cool only for concept cars, actual implementation is quite irritating to say the least. Moreover, the small size of those side cameras look so disproportionate design aesthetic wise.
Lastly, even though silent cars seem like a nice solution but I think safety wise it will always be better to have some kind of sound to recognise an approaching vehicle. Maybe they could implement sensors (front and rear) that would detect traffic up to a certain distance and the car would produce noise based on that requirement ? Much needed I think.
Thomas, you are head and shoulders above any car reviewer. You keep setting that bar high mate.
Professional, succinct and your attention to detail is truly Germanic!
Highly appreciated, stay with us!
Finally a new Audi that doesn’t have fake exhaust tips!
great review!!!!! as always!!!!.
thank you Thomas
Can't wait for the full HD full screen & full length..... Let's goooo
"full lengst" with the German accent :p
@@ruben_12 i'll make sure to learn german 😂😂
yiha =)
As always top notch content.
Thank you for this review👍😎
you are the best, thank you Thomas
Great review, Thomas, really interesting car you showed to it's full - thank you.
I have looked maybe 100 videos on your chanel and this one here is the most honest. Thank you Thomas ! I really appreciate this !
And what do you want to imply...?
Great u joined us! We are always honest :)
@@RobertCraven70 I`m not a native english speaker. Sorry, I don't understand what you mean
@@matthiaskoehler1504 honest = ehrlich. Sounded as if you stated the other reviews as dishonest = unehrlich. Therefore my question.
@@RobertCraven70 This was not what I wanted to say. I have changed the words. Hope this is better
Love these full reviews, really informative. Thanks.
Thanks please share :)
I bought my e-tron in August 2019 and love it. Your review confirms that I made the right decision.
Big fan of this channel and your videos. Very thorough reviews with high production quality. I also want to thank you for always pointing out the head room in your videos. Like Thomas, I am also 6 foot 1 inch tall and it really helps to know which new cars out there I will be comfortable in. To my knowledge, no other car reviews I watch on youtube do this. Thank you for going that extra mile in detail.
thx so much 6ft1 brother!
This channel is great for quality, detail and extended footage. Alexonautos channel is very similar but omits extended footage. I like both channels.
Carwow makes sure to include headroom in their reviews too
Merry christmas for Autogefühl's complete team! :)
Same to u!
the more i look at the new Audi design language for suvs, the much more i like it
Great review Thomas both interesting and professional, thank you!!....
👌
You can see how hard this accelerates by the trajectory of that fly on the side window at 26:50. Literally rolling here hahah
Great work as always. Thank you.
appreciated - feel free to spread the word for our videos :)
A very deep and honest review. Well done Thomas.
in your service!
GREAT review Thomas!!! My compliments!!!!
Please KEEP doing this in 2019!!!
Greetings, Vincent Pothuizen.
👍👍
Great review of this car.
Fantastic review, thank you very much! :) happy new year!
happy new year!
Thomas. You are the best car reviewer! Thanks. You helped me select my AUDI SQ5 through your review. This E Tron May be the next car.
thanks so much! Keep us updated :)
I forgot it. So ... and thank you so much for your whole year's work! :)
Appreciated!
I liked the light coloured interior of your test car. Typical: everything is extra (and expensive). Nice quiet roads in driving part. Likewise prefer to be in control of recuperation. Interesting philosophy about drivetrain giving various ‘serious’ off-road advantages - yes! Excellent Review and Driving Part. Many Thanks Thomas. Regards to Katharina.
thanks =)
Another great honest review from Thomas et al at Autogefühl. Those camera "mirrors" need the screens moving to the windows and need to be as big as normal mirrors. Or reserved as an additional safety feature say for people who tow frequently. Keep up the good work Autogefühl.
appreciated ! keep supporting!
Best review I have seen for the e-tron.
🙏🙏🙏
great review
i watched this again at your suggestion thomas, coming from the 90's microphone video, and i have to agree, at 13:00 for instance, the mic does great sound. there are no ambient sounds where they may be with another microphone, as there is a guy standing at 9 o'clock, probably talking, opening and closing car doors etc. likewise there are a couple guys standing near the car at 1o'clock, 13:15, probably talking. cant hear any of that with this microphone. if its not broken, dont fix it : )
the first E-car with a co-driver 😃. enjoyable review as always.
=)
Very nice video. Great job👌🏻👏🚘 missed u in south Afrika with the VW I.D neo prototype...
Yeah i agree
Autogefühl i hope you can make a video of the VW I.D. Neo prototype soon.. tnx to you i bought the passat GTE plug in hybrid. My record is 56km on pure EV.. 👌🏻👏
wow - awesome car and record !!
Uf, so perfect proportions, looks ideal to me
They should make it such that you use the cruise control on a downhill to maintain a constant speed and the car adjust recuperation to keep that speed but requiring no acceleration.
best indept and comphensive channel so much detail
Indeed. Best reviews by far, nobody else comes close. However this is third review of e-tron, so this video seems redundant.
Inept?
@@colinmaynard2879 Clearly it was supposed to be "in-depth"
Thanks! This is the first time with the series production model on the road. Manufacturers tend to reveal stuff bit by bit ...
Very complete review in full HD and full lenght 😂😂👌👌
Another outstanding review by Thomas :D definitely getting the Thomas Blue color :D
Nice job spending over an hour on this vehicle...well worth it 😍👍🤙🏽
Thomas, do you recall a boom sound from the suspension in city driving? It has been bothering my ears.
Seriously looking forward to the S version, that could be very interesting indeed imho!
Very informative as always, Thomas! You talk a lot about the e-tron being very silent. Is the car equipped with acoustic side windows (optional) or does it have the standard windows? Any other optional silencing equipment/measures?
Yes all acoustic layers =)
Very interest new one e-tech Audi from Thomas excellent reviews !!
thanks feel free to share! =)
Apart from tires and brake pads, What are the maintanance items specific to the etron (an all electric vehicle) , what is the process of swapping batteries ? Is it as simple as removing from under the car ?
Hey Thomas, nice outfit choice, suits well with the enviroment!
:-)
Thomas, just a few more questions: is the theoretical range accurate compared with the real one. Also do u have info on what is the range of the most basic version of this car?
did you watch full length? Since I did a range test?
@@autogefuehl Ah sorry mate, my bad. But were these vehicles basically equipped?
usually the test vehicles are fully equipped by the manufacturers, they tend not to show base versions...
Finally, an Audi worth owning. One that won't help make the whole world look like that location.
Thanks Thomas.
cheers!
Super review Thomas! I couldn't agree more about your assessment of those mirrors. I think they should either put the screens above the dash integrated into each corner of the front windscreen, next to the pillar or stitch all of the rear view into one "video screen" mirror. That is, make the main rear view mirror one wide screen view. Run that one up the flag pole and send me a cheque!
thx kev!
Even my Model S 90D consumes more than 25kWh/100km at highway speed. There is nothing to complain about that. Completely normal for an electric car of that size. And 120-140km/h is way faster than normal cruising speed in most countries.
You should even try standard 19"-wheels instead of 21". I guess the consumption will drop a lot and the range will increase accordingly. That's what is does in a Tesla.
Thanx for your videos and your recommendations regarding the mirrors. I have ordered my e-tron with real mirrors.
Thanks Marcus!
I had the Model X for a longer period of time and was always realizing 400 to 450 km realistic range.
I ll repeat that with this one also for a longer time and see how that goes
Ok. Just remember that a Tesla 100D has almost 100kWh of usable capacity. The e-tron has 95kWh in total, including a safety buffer. The usable capacity is probably about 85kWh which is only slightly more than Teslas 90-battery that has 82kWh usable capacity.
With that said, a Model X 100D will always have a better range even if the consumption is roughly the same.
I expect the e-tron to have a realistic range of 300-420km. About the same as my Model S90D.
yeah good point. Also, I think the e-tron is a little heavier
In the Europe we cruise around 130-150km/h normally.
@@DominikKristek, you mean Germany I guess. There aren't many countries in the world where driving at 150km/h is legal.
I’d like to see other makers copy the way BMW’s regen worked on my i3. There was a coasting or sailing range in the throttle pedal travel that would allow me to easily choose between regen and coasting without having to change any settings.
Hi Thomas, thanks for the review. What do you mean by "freeload" - you mention it when testing the acceleration around 26.30 min?
Preload - hit the brakes and pushed throttle then release brake like launch control
@@autogefuehl Thanks a lot Thomas.
Just got my 55 on Friday. What a great car! Coming from Volvo XC60 T8, this is really a step up! :)
Thanks for the Clear VVVF sound,from inside of the car.
Maybe,I think,I will judge one car Hi-End,for The Nice VVVF sound inside.
感謝車內的清晰收音
令人激賞的車內音效
將是未來評斷高階車種的準石
Beautiful car, I just need to win the Euromillions now! 🤔😲 nice review as well 👍
thanks !
Reviews are great as always.. I wonder how those camera mirrors work at night, since normal mirror get more informations, also the camera mirrors are small, and has bad angle (on the side).. Also most configs are touch only, it is slow and laggy.. it is just bad as the age we live in.
Autogefugl good review
Hi Thomas, I-pace and E-tron are definitely on my shortlist now, thanks to your great in-depth reviews. At the end you say it has the best drive of any e-vehicle. Does that also include the I-pace, I saw your review of that one and you really enjoyed that ride too. Is the ipace just as silent and more agile, or is the e-tron more silent and just as agile and fun?
Hi! Yes, iPace was also a good ride but I felt the etron was overall better (a little bigger though)
Autogefühl how would you compare the ride to Tesla X?
I love those lcd side 'mirrors'. I bet they take some getting used to... to look a bit more down compared to out the window corner.
Finally a properly build EV. I hope this will push tesla to improve their build quality...
Excellent review as always. How would you compare it to the I Pace? I've driven the Jag for about 40 minutes on relatively fast country roads and A roads and I was thoroughly impressed at its handling. I'd also say it's a much more attractive-looking car than the Audi but I haven't seen the Audi in the flesh yet.
thanks! Compare our review here: th-cam.com/video/95gNVoO8HpI/w-d-xo.html
After sitting in a e-tron ( at electric car show ) with those screen mirrors I partly agree your view about them. Especially the driver side mirror screen is placed to low. I seen bus and truck concept vehicles with them in the A-pillar. Why not place the mirror screen in the corner of lower part of A-pillar and the instrument panel? It should be more in view then than a regular side view mirror.
Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr!
merry xmas :)
Thomas! I've missed you!
Quite agree with you, these camera-mirrors are not practical to say the least. As far as the range of the e-tron is concerned (+ 300km) I wonder what the range would be if you have this car for example in a scandinavian country in winter ... I personally would choose the A7 2.0 55tsi e quattro s tronic with normal mirrors and some options (f.e. a built in Stinger, if they control speed limits from a chopper ...) Thank you once again for a splendid video !
🙏👌
Ich bin bis jetzt weder in einem E-Tron gesessen noch in einem gefahren. Klar wirken die digitalen Außenspiegel am Anfang befremdlich: Aber ich kann mir wirklich nicht vorstellen, dass man sich nach ca. 3-4 Wochen mit diesem Auto nicht an die digitalen Außenspiegel gewöhnt hat! Das Video war aber mal wieder sehr informativ. Einen guten Rutsch :)
Ebenso, danke 😊
Beautiful car
Hello Thomas , when we will see you in 4k & full screen and full length ? ☺
about to start =)
The classic desert outfit 👍🐫. BTW are the new mirrors mandatory or classic glass mirrors also available?
=)
Check Exterior part where I take them up close!
I live in Dubai! Fantastic weather during winter-spring. Hell during the summer
I believe that!
Hi Thomas, could you please compare the e-tron to the A6 Avant? How different is the driving? Thank you.
Here it is: th-cam.com/video/tvJGv5VXjmQ/w-d-xo.html
The steering wheel doesn’t look like the standard one. Is this the S-Line version? Didn’t think it was available yet.
Hi Thomas, how is this air suspension compared to Q7 e-tron and XC90 (latest modelyear they further improved it). Is it possible to get the same magic carpet ride when you put the e-tron in comfort mode instead of dynamic mode? Do you miss the upright (commanding) driving position that 'regular' SUV's have? I also understand that you can't have it all, and possibly lose some commanding position and floating to gain some agility. But I am still curious about your experience with e-tron in comfort, compared to Q7 or XC90. Thanx!
Hey m8, checked the driving part in full length? Because I talked a lot about the suspension. Also there is a Q8 review coming up where I also focus exactly that. The XC90 suspension is worse, that I can already say.
Wunderbar!!!
Great review and funny in a oil producing country, presenting a EV! Looks very nice and fun to drive !
thanks pal !
Great review Thomas. I agree with you concerning camera side mirror. You have to look down to see what is going from rear left/right side. Wich is not good for safety. Also, with a lot off light, you are completely blind.
Great "paysage". Thomas, you will be always welcome in desert ;)
👌
5:35 Thank GOD for this afirmation Thomas !
=)
Wishing you and all the team a very merry Christmas and happy New Year love the videos
Merry xmas!
Is there a heating pump inbulit and from standard equipment?
Pat Ka yes it is
I like the virtual side mirrors myself, you would get readjusted too them..
Great! Is is really better with camera and screen, does it not consume more power than a simple mirror? (it does)
Well overall probably more efficient due to the better wind efficiency
@@autogefuehl Of course, I should have thought about that, tnx!
Make ride hight adjustments from the steering wheel. Very usefull in the highland.
Thomas, thanks for being honest about side mirror cameras. In my opinion you've just save a ton of people who are buying this car (or maybe any other car with side-cameras) from a huge disappointment. Based on what I can see in the video - 1. cameras they do not cover as big area as standard mirrors do, 2. they lack depth and increase eye strain since you have to re-focus your eyes 3. the projected area of the screen to your eye is smaller than that of a normal mirror, forcing you to spend more time figuring out what you see on that screen. 4. all those points probably are ten times worse at night. (edit:) 5. As you have mentioned - when you looking at the screen, you don't see what's in-front (behind the normal mirror)
Maybe cameras have a future if: 1. they are made stereo, 2. bigger viewing area, 3. better screen placement (like on a a-pillar and/or partially on an left air vent/console), 4. wider viewing angle
Yeah indeed
Hi Thomas, when you are describing the surface of materials, you are saying "structure". I think you mean "texture".
The ac and heater control should manual because its hard adjust on touch screen when your driving
volkswagen corp. really needs to design their ev driveline cars from the bottom, i think this would improve efficiency and range, as well as space utilization in the cabin, for axample look at the cargo space in the tesla s under the bonnet, and the false floor in the back. Otherwise this car looks beautiful, and i think it will be a success, finally a longer range ev with german build quality and (possibly) reliability, would for axample not dare to own an i-pace outside of warranty. Good video btw. :)
The only solution how they could save those camera-mirrors technology I see is to integrate screens in "normal" mirrors, just like there are (at least in concepts) with internal rear view mirror. Because there are a lot of possibilities to integrate features like night vision an others. But in current realisation it's just not safe.
Hmm.... Thomas how did you show the regenerative brake graph by iPad? Is there an official e-tron App or something?
That was just special for the event
Electronic mirrors can probably be placed where the rearview mirror is. The strange electronic camera-mirrors kan probably be totaly removed and replaced with another solution like integrated cameras in the side pillars in the middle and back if necessary.
Hi Thomas. How do you think Korean made electric cars compare this beautiful one?
See our e-Niro review here: th-cam.com/video/ccSxZ7BXfTo/w-d-xo.html
You should probably consider active throttling with paddles on the steering wheel. A concept known to those who drive motorcycles and airplanes. This that can be donw with paddles on both sides. The downside is similar to that of motorcycles and airplanes, again - drivers hands will need to be on the same place on the steering wheel. But not all the time with the right recuperation mode.
You should make a duet it with Sophia!! .. now that would be a great review
I wish the range was more. My commute is 124 miles round trip. I also dip into NC, florida and myrtle beach for golf trips. The range is key for me to spend 75k-80k on an electric car.
Great test. But did you test the offroad mode where the car raises? I viewed the car in a store, and it took for "ages" to rsie the car 5 cm :-)
Of course, did you see it full length? We also had a offroad part in this review.
Also for more offroading you check the other video linked in the comments and video description
Autogefühl I can't see that you mention the long time to raise the car to the highest level. May it only was a problem in the car I viewed?
It takes a couple of seconds, not more
Autogefühl Ok. Then I guess the car we tested in the srore har low battery capacity left. Good to hear, and thanks for your reply. Have great Christmas.
Acceleration is around 5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. :)
Enes063 Pretty crazy fast for such a car.
Normal for electric car. Nothing special
Tomasz Kolowca It weighs 2.5 tons and has 408 hp. Its actually pretty fast for a vehicle that weighs 2.5 tons. I test drove one here in Norway and floored it to 100 on the motorway and that instant acceleration is phenomenal, especially when you are used to normal cars that do 0-100 in around 10 seconds.
Nice review. I like the idea of electric vehicles but the idea of waiting 35 minutes to a full charge from half charge doesn't inspire me, also I'm just not sure about the real capacity and longevity of the batteries in these early models before I jump in. In the meantime, I bought a FE Volvo XC40 RD D4 Diesel while I wait, I guess I'm just risk adverse.
what happens if both side mirror cameras not working.....then how can u turn left or right, this could be a problem and dangerous
the future!!
It’s not my personal taste size wise, and also I like my EVs to be more aero efficient and futuristic looking rather than trying to keep this grille look which wastes energy. But any EV is welcome at this point. I’m sure many people are going to love this, and they’ll be driving it instead of a fossil SUV. So that’s a win.
I’m not against the idea of camera mirrors, but in this case they stick out too far and the screens are too low. But the coloured blind spot monitoring is really cool. The next version of them will be great I think.
Fine automobile. Maybe there was a quality lapse on the trim that came up from the top of the dash? I don't know about the rear view mirrors. It's something different. Interior is modern and looks like the next step in Audi interior design. Still a bit bland exterior but it is improving, in my opinion. Style is subjective. Others will love it and they'll be right.
No lane assist test?
Do you prefer this suspension or the soft GLE suspension?
Seen our GLE episode? :) th-cam.com/video/yGvZMgFD3iQ/w-d-xo.html
I do realize the concerns with the electronic camera for mirrors malfunction, but I would still totally replace current mirrors for these. If I’m going trust a computer control board controlling my electric engine, I’m sure I can manage my fear of these electronic mirrors- as long as they have auto folding capabilities. 😂. And these probably won’t need even auto-dimming, since the camera probably has many options for reducing glare and enhancing pictures in darkness and bright sunlight.
It doesnt. You cant see sh*t driving at night :D
That camera mirror gimmick, I hate. Is there a way to option it out to have good old regular mirrors?
maybe rewatch the beginning of the video and enjoy full length :)
Why all car manufacter goes to a warm country test eletric veicules? They are trully confience about their batterys in cool wheather.
Nice video.
thanks! indeed to take care of the battery :)
I want to know what those side mirrors will cost to replace Ouch !
If someone wants a full and comprehensive review about a car one is considering purchasing - must watch Thomas' review. Punkt!
Thanks so much! Please share and recommend :-)
When EVs like this slow down with regenerative braking, do the brake lights come on, for safety?
