Audi e-tron gets priced for Mzansi release

The electric space is about to get crowded in 2022, with Audi’s e-tron line making its official debut in production form. Confirmed to us earlier this year, the all-electric line-up promises the luxury and gadgetry you’d expect from an Audi, but with the green performance of an EV. Of course, there are two big questions we had ahead of 2022 e-tron sales; Pricing & Charging.

Charging

In a press release published today, Audi detailed that the national retail footprint for the e-tron model range will consist of ten Audi Dealerships.

This includes three outlets in Johannesburg, another three in Pretoria and two Dealerships in both Cape Town and Durban. The ten Audi e-tron Dealerships will also be equipped to allow for fast electric vehicle charging and will be accessible to the public. This charging infrastructure ranges from DC 50 to 75 kW.

Home charging is also an option. As part of an e-tron purchase, Audi will cover the installation of a 32Amps industrial socket up to the value of R5,000 in an effort to support the adequate setup of a charging point within the customers home.

In addition, Audi SA has partnered with Gridcars to allow e-tron customers access to the growing public charging network in South Africa, which currently consists of more than 280 universal charge point connectors.

Pricing

In Mzansi, the 2022 Audi e-tron 55 will kick off at R1,990,000 for the advanced model, the S line is priced at R2,045,000 while the Sportback will set you back R2 115 000 (S line) and R2 425 000 (S Sportback).

The 2022 e-tron GT goes for R2 715 000 and the RS e-tron GT is R3 300 000.
