    South Africa Bound Audi e-tron SUV Is Official

    Audi has finally taken the covers off the e-tron SUV which becomes first all-electric series production model from the brand.

    Acting as a direct rival to the Mercedes-Benz EQC and Tesla Model X, the Audi e-tron SUV is powered two asynchronous motors that work alongside a generous 95 kWh battery pack. Each axle is powered by one of these motors with the front unit packing 168bhp (170 hp; 125 kW) and the rear 188bhp (190 hp ;140 kW) – they can offer a combined ‘boost’ output of 402bhp for up to 10 seconds.

    Audi says the SUV accelerates from 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in 5.5 seconds and continues through to a 124 mph (200 km/h) top speed.

    Audi did not focus on making the motors performance orientated either because the clever gadgets feature an innovative recuperation system for them which allows the electric motors to recover energy when the driver releases the accelerator and when the brake pedal is depressed.

    As the e-tron is designed to be a long-distance EV, Audi says it should deliver over 250 miles (402 km) on the tougher WLTP test cycle.

    The charging set-up is particularly neat. The driver’s side gets a flap that folds down smoothly, in a piece of pure theatre, to reveal a DC port that’s capable of 150kW charging (enough to get the car back up to 80 per cent of charge in less than half an hour.)

    Inside, there is for five adults and is packed with features from the A7 and A8. This includes the twin-touchscreen controls and Audi’s Virtual Cockpit.

    Audi says it’s already had 10,000 registrations from prospective e-tron customers, and the company will build the car at the Brussels factory that used to make the A1.

    According to various sources, Audi South Africa does intend on bringing this model to the country around the middle of 2019.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
