What happens when an established brand synonymous with tech, goes full EV?
Most premium 'legacy' brands focused on the volume-selling SUV market for their initial tilt at electric vehicles – but now the super saloons are coming to take on Tesla's Model S.
The 2021 Audi E-Tron continues the slowly building avalanche of new electric vehicles from the established players. It's an SUV, too, which should fit right into the minds of Australian buyers.
To gain performance kudos in the electric car ranks, it seems it‘s no longer sufficient to endow your top model with just one electric motor. To really stand out from the crowd, you need two or, as is the case with the new 2021 Audi E-Tron S Sportback driven here, three...
Audi's E-tron has removed its mirrors and replaced them with cameras but what are they like to live with?

An array of photos published to Spanish website Cochespias – and subsequently re-shared by CarAdvice spy photography partner Andreas Mau (@race356) on Instagram – reveal the upcoming E-Tron GT inside and out, free of the Audi-branded camouflage that adorned late-stage development cars in official previews and spy photos...
Hot on the heels of MG releasing Australia’s most affordable pure electric car – the 43-grand drive-away ZS EV – two states did exactly what you’d expect blinkered governments to do. They proposed an ill-thought-out and poorly planned new tax. MG isn’t the only one either. Tesla has been plugging away in this country for years now, with little incentive other than its own to buy the product...
