Audi India has commenced bookings for its upcoming electric SUV, the e-tron, ahead of its July 22 launch.

The e-tron will be offered in two body styles -- SUV and Sportback (SUV Coupe) -- and two variants (55, and 55 Sportback).

Expected Price (ex-showroom)	Rs 1.1 crore	Rs 1.2 crore

The main difference between the e-tron and e-tron Sportback is the sloping roofline. Both models are identical till the front doors. However, the Sportback’s sloping roofline will appeal to those looking for a sportier e-tron. Both models get the connected LED tail lamps that do a jig while locking and unlocking the SUV, large 20-inch alloy wheels, and orange brake callipers.

On the inside, the SUV’s feature the same minimalistic layout comprising three displays: Audi’s virtual cockpit, a 10.1-inch infotainment system and a separate screen to operate the climate control. Also, you can learn about the India-spec e-tron’s colour options and features by clicking here.
