7— Audi e-tron

The new e-tron will arrive in Canada in the second quarter of 2019 and cost about $ 90,000. Audi, like the other German manufacturers, decided to go green after being seriously shaken by Tesla. Now, it’s payback time for the German manufacturers against the California-based upstart.

The 95-kWh engine generates about 400 hp and 490 lb-ft of torque passing through the four-wheel-drive system – de rigueur with Audi.  The company is promising a range of over 400 km, this from a format that approaches that of a Q7. Another SUV to consider for those with pockets deep enough to afford it.
