Audi has opened the order books for the e-tron SUV, with prices starting from £71,490 before the government’s plug-in grant.
Customers are able to choose from two options – e-tron and e-tron Launch Edition – and deliveries of the models will begin in April.
Order books were originally slated to open in November, but due to a software modification towards the end of development, homologation and orders were set back.
Fitted with a 95kWh battery that sends power to two electric motors, the e-tron has 402bhp at its disposal – allowing it to get from 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 124mph. It also has a range of 241 miles.
Standard features on the e-tron are, as expected, extensive, with a dual-touchscreen infotainment setup, digital instrument console, wireless smartphone charging, driver assistance systems, 20-inch alloy wheels and LED headlights all included.

The Launch Edition version comes with 21-inch alloy wheels, wing-mounted cameras instead of mirrors that project images onto OLED screens in the cabin, a black styling pack, twin leather upholstery, a panoramic glass roof, heated and ventilated seats, and a leather steering wheel – with additional safety systems also included. The Launch Edition costs from £82,240.
