Audi e-tron 55 quattro Sportback - great car, but that battery... 9.2

owner review of Audi e-tron Sportback S line 2020
- cultivated electric drive
- superb build quality
- solid rear passenger seat even with my Sportback version with sloping roof
- excellent cabin soundproofing from external noise
- air suspension
- price is comparable to similarly powerful combustion engine Audi SUVs
- the front luggage compartment is not large, but is at least suitable for storing charging cables
- highly efficient regenerative braking
- excellent DC charging speed (I’m just afraid it’s at the expense of overall battery life)
- exceptionally good driving dynamics
- haptic feedback in touch displays
- I suspect, supported by measurement, that the battery capacity was not 100% (86.5 kWh) when purchased, but slightly less (by about 5%)
- high weight - over 2.5 tons
- The Voice Assistant does not understand some common questions
- uninspiring highway range (100 to 150 km more would be nice)
- up to about 60 km/h you can hear the whistling sound of the engine or electronics (even during recovery)
- for a really long trip, I would probably still take my combustion engine Passat (but otherwise I mostly buzz around in the e-tron)
