One important factor about EV's is how they handle cold and extreme cold weather. Since extreme cold will affect battery range, some of these EV's have a heating system where it heats the batteries so it's not effected by cold and extreme cold weather. When you do these reviews, find out how it handles extreme cold and even hot weather with regards to battery life/range. It would be a very important factor to know before someone buys one of these things.
@@saiーツ I know, but he could ask the mfg. if the car has any type of battery protection of the range in extreme weather conditions and to let people know if it does or doesn't and maybe how they work on the car he's reviewing.
@@saiーツ I think he just means like include stats or info if the manufacturer does mention any sort of info regarding its handling in cold weather or extreme weather
@sai-pc5fl Not good at taking criticism which valid, grow up, only reason i am still replying to you comment is that didnt apologies even though several months have passed 😂
@@saiーツ I never said he had to demonstrate cold weather conditions. I'm just stating that it's something that is known about in the industry. If I know about that problem, then it's plausible that others that do car reviews on a regular basis should know, if they don't, they do now. There has been other articles and car reviewers that have been made public discussing this problem.
Joe, I love the Audi Efron you know you're doing well in life when you're the apostle to luxury and yes, Range may not be enough but it's the sign of Success.
Joe, I've always been a fan of almost all Audi models. This one is a keeper in my book. I do prefer the grill design of this e-Tron. Those bright yellow calipers really pop with that beautiful blue paint job. Oh, and I never get splinters when I'm rubbing my wood! Just sayin'... But, seriously, as much as I like this beautiful e-Tron, I won't be going to a full-fledged EV until the mileage is at least 500+ on a single charge. Otherwise, I'll stick with my very nice Lexus hybrid.
Awe Joe thanks for the good work to you and Lorie.I especially love it when you do Audi brand's the most car manufacturer I love my favorite cars is RS3 and the S3 keep up the good work buddy one love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️❤️😎🙌👍👌
I'm no fan of electric cars but audi styling always makes me attracted their cars. Comparing this to GV60 styling wide e tron is calling my name definitely more sexier looking
Love Audi! When I’m finally forced to go electric Audi would be the way I go for sure. They know how to do it for me. Am a little disappointed on the range but I’m sure it’ll improve. Thanks for showing us.
It’s a great looking vehicle, love that it doesn’t look like a weird EV, but I don’t know when I’ll be ready for an EV. Not ready yet. Great review ! 👍
I have a 2019 e-tron, progressiv and it is pretty awesome. Heavy, but a joy to drive, great size, looks great. Love it! Mine is grey and does not have the sweet yellow calipers. It has every feature you want. Yes the range is disappointing but it is a non-issue when you can charge at almost any destination.
Wow Joe 86k That's a lot of cash.Looks good but it's a no go for me.I'm an I.C.E lover I need to hear the sound of the engine/exhaust.Great review as always Take care and much love!
Audi suvs are very capable, great car. Only zonk is audi trims aren't generous. But covid made them a little more giving feature wise per trim Genesis current generation is great too
Like the car, it has a nice interior. I'm not fully on board with electric cars yet, the distance range is not ideal. I will like to see more work done on the distance range from automobile engineers.
I have a chronos edition and it’s great, but it’s also my daily driver and I have other vehicles for longer distance trips. I don’t think the e tron would be a good only car with that range, but it makes a great daily for commutes to work and around town. You can also rent a car on turo for long distant trips, but many might not want to do that especially after paying $90k for an ev.
Audi brings the business.. I kinda like that area you found odd in the console. Keeps your big gulp out of your lap when you're on throttle in the twisty bits.
The cup holder set up was not thought through very well. If you put items on the lid, every time you want to use a cup holder, you have to remove everything on top. Also, the cargo nets really cheapen the interior look.
My big zonk is I think an EV has to make the Downtown LA to Vegas run on a single charge (275 mi), so this one fails. However, this makes the case for a "normal" EV and not a futuristic EV. It looks like another gorgeous Audi. I love the dark blue, yellow, gloss black color combo. Not sure I like the interior color. I like that the interior and dash look like an SUV and not a golf cart like it is with a Tesla.

You do know its got air suspension and it looks like you have it all the way up which is why the loading deck (bumper) is so high...and I'd say a 6K lb 5 sec EV is pretty dang fast, but the folks that buy this car is more interested in quality and comfort, and not range for road trips.
@@mattmekhaeil - nor does it cost $100k nor get buried by the KIA in a 0-60 run. Anything else you want to add ? I simply said the KIA EV6 GT is something to consider. Puppy on a porch.
I'm baffled to hear that a standard 240 watt home outlet will take 9 hours to charge from 10%...🤬..BTW how much is the fast charger one that takes half an hour is it worth getting...Joe...got an answer???
If it comes to price, warranty and dealer Service, I think that the Genesis is a little bit better but what you are thinking Joe? I´m kidding Joe, i knew that you can´t answer it. Thanks for the review.
Love the look but they must make a dedicated EV platform. ICE designs do not work well as EVS and Audis range is frankly terrible compared to a Model Y or any other Tesla. Also not having more storage in the front is not great. Eventually they won’t be able to compete with the competition.
These companies don't realize that the range has to be #1 with these to eliminate that fear. Once that happens, everything else is comparable. That said, no way this is an 86k vehicle...14-18k more than the best equipped GV60?? No. The GV60 is way more advanced and polished imo than this.
The GV60 has gotten great reviews so far, and it seems like a better value, but it is so ugly in my opinion. Audis might not look cutting edge. But they’re never, ever ugly.
It looks great, and Audis interiors are top notch. But for 86K, I expect more than 222 miles per charge. In the cold winter that'll be about 170 miles. Not good enough for that price.
If I didn’t look at the name I would’ve thought this was an internal combustion engine car….😂

It’s hard to demonstrate extreme cold environments when you do car reviews in sunny Florida where it’s 80 degrees year round

This Audi is all business with the styling the color is beautiful and I'm digging the brake calipers. Nicely done Joe!👍👍

It actually feels like and audi, I mean, the interior quality is there and it looks way better than other electric vehicles.

Im not a fan of the functionless grille
My first Audi EV SUV! Amazing video Joe.
Audi had a 4-year lead on every competitor in the segment... yet 4-years later their range is STILL only 200 miles. Pathetic!
Can you review 2023 GV70....from what I've seen it looks amazing, and the interior looks implacable 👌

Take care and much love!
In the very near future, loud engine will be associated with slow vehicles.
@Clear Cut yes
But for now I'm enjoying that sweet exhaust sounds lmfao
Another awesome review!

Really nice especially the inside interior 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What happen to the prius video you had?
It will be coming up next week!
Nice car and nice weather
Love that blue color always did like Audi automobiles and interior is amazing.
Hey Joe why did u pull off the Toyota Prius Review today?
Good question!
Toyota requested it, It will be back up next week. Sorry for any issues.
@@RaitisRides No problem Joe, totally understand!
By the way, what happened to your Prius video?
Had to reschedule it for next week.
Audi brings the business.. I kinda like that area you found odd in the console. Keeps your big gulp out of your lap when you're on throttle in the twisty bits.
Heck yeah Mike! I like the way that you think!
Joe....did I just watch you talk right past that lovely rear haunch without any mention?? Thx anyway!
Would buy this Audi. A family member has this exact E-tron in black with Chronos pak. She traded an A4 and loves her new car.
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍
We appreciate your great support!
I'd take the S Sportback.
300 miles is the minimum these Day's .. 222 not enough. Still pretty though
The cup holder set up was not thought through very well. If you put items on the lid, every time you want to use a cup holder, you have to remove everything on top. Also, the cargo nets really cheapen the interior look.
That is a great point you made Tim!
I really dig that blue,/purple color but 80k plus is ridiculous for that 220 range
This is very true about pricing for sure!
Can you please do a genesis please
The range is a key factor for most looking to go electric 225 miles doesn’t cut it The Lucid is impressive with a 500 miles but it’s pricey

The Audi e-tron has a one speed trans. Also the towing package is an option.

Would love for you to review the new Q4 Audi e-tron
Stay tuned I will have it coming to you!
Gorgeous, this is more menly while the GV60 is more girly
I’d go with the GV70 electric ⚡️
Nice choice!
Das ist gut!!
I see what you did there!
It’s not a compact suv. It’s a lot larger than a Q5. It’s Q8 size more than Q5.
Love the look but they must make a dedicated EV platform. ICE designs do not work well as EVS and Audis range is frankly terrible compared to a Model Y or any other Tesla. Also not having more storage in the front is not great. Eventually they won’t be able to compete with the competition.
When you're rubbing your wood you don't get splinters 😅
Should put some fake exhaust. Haha
LOL You are hilarious Owen!
They use flat black rail cause they ran out of gloss black
LOL You are hilarious!
i believe gv60 is better than tesla model Y. EXCEPT WITH range
$86K just to get barely over 200 miles of range?
Yes it is pretty crazy.
These companies don't realize that the range has to be #1 with these to eliminate that fear. Once that happens, everything else is comparable. That said, no way this is an 86k vehicle...14-18k more than the best equipped GV60?? No. The GV60 is way more advanced and polished imo than this.
I wonder what it is going to take.
86k for 222mi? Hell nah
For $30k less I'll still take my EV6 over this. This Audi presents nothing extra outside of brand name which means nothing for most 🤷🏽♂️
The GV60 has gotten great reviews so far, and it seems like a better value, but it is so ugly in my opinion. Audis might not look cutting edge. But they’re never, ever ugly.
How come Audi can make an electric suv that doesn’t look like a blob?
genesis gv60 is way better. more luxury, more technology, better, more mileage range, better engine, more relax
It looks great, and Audis interiors are top notch. But for 86K, I expect more than 222 miles per charge. In the cold winter that'll be about 170 miles. Not good enough for that price.
The range is horrible.
Nice ride it's too bad doesn't have a real engine for that reason thumbs down
Terrible range partially due to weighing so much more than similar size EVs.
This is so very true!
The Germans do it right.
You are so very right about that.
200 miles in Canada means only 100 miles. What a trash
I bet them rag cost 2k alone?? … 😅😂🤣 another overpriced junk…. 😒
It's official Audi!
An unimpressive car for the money.
So overpriced for what you get
