How does it compare?
Range
Range, dear gearheads, is pivotal. The AUDI e-tron 55 Quattro touts a commendable 441 kilometers (274 miles) on a full charge, making it a stalwart performer for the longer jaunts. But enter the Tesla Model X Long Range, boasting a staggering 580 kilometers (360 miles) that leaves the e-tron trailing like an old VHS tape. The Jaguar I-PACE offers a respectable 470 kilometers (292 miles), and the Mercedes-Benz EQC subtly slides in with 445 kilometers (276 miles), just inching past the Audi on paper.
Acceleration
Now, let’s put the pedal to the metal. The AUDI e-tron 55 Quattro bolts from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds – not exactly snail-paced. The Tesla Model X Long Range zips in a brisk 4.4 seconds, making it the Usain Bolt of this pack. The Jaguar I-PACE is a shade nimbler at 4.8 seconds, with the Mercedes-Benz EQC clocking in at 5.1 seconds, feeling like a comfortable, yet swift, executive jet in comparison.
Power
Under the hood, the AUDI e-tron 55 Quattro delivers 402 horsepower, more than ample to keep the spirited driver satiated. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model X Long Range, with its nearly 670 horses, is an electric stampede on wheels. The Jaguar I-PACE and its 394 horsepower, alongside the Mercedes-Benz EQC with 402 horsepower, bring a refined elegance, more than capable yet less inclined to shout about it from the rooftops.
Charging time
Charging, while less glamorous, is the silent operator of convenience. The AUDI e-tron 55 Quattro offers a swift charge option, filling its 95 kWh battery to 80% in about 30 minutes at a 150 kW DC fast charger. The Tesla Model X Long Range edges out again with its supercharging capabilities, filling up to 80% in roughly 25 minutes. For the Jaguar I-PACE, it’s about 45 minutes with 100 kW fast charging, and the Mercedes-Benz EQC treads the same ground at approximately 40 minutes for an 80% charge.
Price
Finally, the formidable topic of wallet-worthiness. The AUDI e-tron 55 Quattro demands a cool $90,000 (£70,000, €77,000), which puts in utter competition. The Tesla Model X Long Range stands dear at $100,000 (£74,000, €85,000), a kings ransom for its extended range and acceleration bravado. The Jaguar I-PACE exudes a British charm at $88,000 (£68,000, €75,000), while the Mercedes-Benz EQC stays sensible at $85,000 (£67,500, €72,000).
