The 2021 E-Tron SUV and Sportback offer all the comfort, luxury, and features of Audi’s other premium models, with a fully electric twist.
PROS Well-proportioned exteriors Quiet, luxurious cabin Straightforward, quick charging Family-size interior space and versatility
CONS Overly complex touchscreen layout Climate controls low in line of sight Range doesn’t measure up to Tesla
For 2021, Audi introduces a more affordable base model that features the Premium designation. Available on both the regular and Sportback e-tron, it costs about $9000 less than the mid-level Premium Plus. It can also be equipped with the Convenience Plus package, which includes driver assists such as adaptive cruise control.
PROS Whisper-quiet operation, luxurious state-of-the-art cabin, tows up to 4000 pounds.
CONS Other luxury EVs have more range, not very engaging behind the wheel, none of the flashiness exhibited by rivals.
Pros Powerful six-cylinder engine delivers quick acceleration More cargo space than most rivals Handles and brakes like a sport sedan
Cons Too many creaks and squeaks from interior trim More road and wind noise in the cabin than in competitors Some controls are needlessly complicated
Following a more thorough refresh for the 2021 model year, the F-Pace is largely unchanged for 2022 and continues to offer the same powertrains, features, and designs as last year's model.
Pros Inspired handling for an SUV, refined engines, roomy cargo bay.
Cons Infotainment system needs some kinks worked out, ride is stiff on larger wheels, cabin’s storage cubbies are dinky.
Pros Athletic ride and handling Muscular optional engines Spacious, high-end interior Intuitive infotainment system
Cons High starting price Underwhelming power with base engine
