Audi: the name “e-tron” misinterpreted … in France

If the name “e-tron” has existed since 2009 at Audi, the manufacturer’s first 100% electric SUV will not have escaped mockery on social networks.

Audi has just presented its first 100% electric SUV, the e-tron. A name that has definitely had a hard time going to the French public. The name “e-tron” is indeed, a bit unsuitable for French-speaking countries (as was the case for the Toyota MR2) … and Internet users did not fail to underline it on social networks.

A bit of humour

If the name “e-tron” has existed since 2009 within the range of the German manufacturer, it so far designated the Plug-in Hybrid models, like the A3 e-tron or the Q7 e- tron. Visibly accustomed, the Community Manager of Audi France tried to show humor while explaining the pronunciation, writing (with a dash) and the meaning of this denomination.

As a reminder, the Audi E-tron develops 360 hp or even 408 hp thanks to a small boost for 8 seconds. He is then able to reach 0 to 100 km/h in less than 6 seconds. On the autonomy side, thanks to its 95 kWh battery, the e-tron can travel a little more than 400 kilometers in a single load according to the WLTP cycle. If its French prices are not yet communicated, the prices of the 100% electric SUV will start around 80.000 € in Germany.
