We'd also recommend you to get the available Conveniece Package that adds features such as black exterior trim, the latest MMI interface, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and a 360-degree camera system. 

The 2022 Audi e-tron SUV will not see any changes inside the hood, as it will be powered by the same 95.3-kWh Li-ion battery pack that runs two Dual Coaxial Asynchronous electric motors, on each axle. In total both these motors generate 355 hp and up to 414 lb-ft of torque. The Audi e-tron offers hassle-free charging and is equipped with drive modes that function as per the demand.

You can change between modes while the powerful sport mode generates up to 402 hp and 490 lb-ft of torque.

Keeping with the Audi design language, the 2022 Audi e-tron will have a wide grille encased between the digital matrix LED headlights. The styling of the e-tron is very balanced and cohesive. The overall styling isn’t daring, which is a good thing because the E-Tron blends in with the other Audi's well.

The all-new 2022 Audi e-tron Chronos Edition will up the styling game with elements such as orange brake calipers, Black Optic package, and S-line exterior bits highlighted in Chronos Gray paint, and 21-inch wheels. However, if the SUV design ain't that exciting for you, you can always consider the Audi e-tron Sportback that brings an altogether different perspective with its fastback roofline. The 2022 Audi e-tron will also get a charging port on both sides for enhanced convenience. 

The 2022 Audi e-tron will carry over with the 2021 Audi e-tron's dimensions, which take the middle ground between the smaller Audi Q5 and the larger Audi Q7. The e-tron also remains longer than the Mercedes-Benz EQC and Jaguar I-pace by 5.5 inches and 9 inches in length, respectively.

Audi e-tron Vs. Jaguar I-Pace

Audi e-tron has not been able to prove itself when it competes with others, such as the Jaguar I-Pace. However, it only has a good interior space on offer. The Jaguar I-Pace is a mighty electric SUV it however remains behind in the comparison mainly because it lacks a formidable road presence and after-sales service. Also, the 80 MPGe in the city of the Jaguar is admirable.

Audi e-tron Vs. Mercedes-Benz EQC

The Mercedes-Benz EQC offers the best in class luxury on the inside, but when compared to the Audi e-tron, the Mercedes-Benz EQC proves to be much faster and powerful and offers a better range. The only place where the Audi e-tron is better is its cargo space, making us favor the EQC.

The 2022 Audi e-tron will not bring along any major changes. However, with the introduction of an all-new Chronos Edition trim, the e-tron surely ups its styling game, but at a premium. All in all, the Audi e-tron is comfortable and premium on the inside drives well and is quite tech-savvy. Though the e-tron's range is a bit meek against that of the direct rivals, but what's worth noting here is that the e-tron also happens to be more affordable than other electric SUVs of this segment.
