Author: Gary WhiteUp until recently the Tesla Model X was the only electric car with a high trailer load. However the three competitors Audi, Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz are ready and show their own electric SUVs that have a decent range and towing capacity. The engines of the Audi e-tron deliver a maximum of 300 kW (408 hp) and 664 Newton meters of torque. There is also a boost function that lasts up to eight seconds when "full throttle" is activated. The SUV, the size of a long Q5, accelerates to 100 km/h in under six seconds, and the top speed is limited to 200 km/h. Normally, the front axle is only switched on when more power is required than the rear electric motor can deliver, or when all-wheel drive is required.

Can The Audi E-Tron tow a caravan?
The e-tron can take 1800 kilograms on the swiveling trailer hitch which is well suited to a small or medium size caravan. The trunk volume is 660-1725 liters, plus the 60-liter storage compartment under the front hood. According to Audi, the on-board management registers the additional load on the hook and includes it in the range calculation. Nevertheless, with the maximum trailer load, you will get around 200 kilometers of possible towing distance. At an fast charging station, the battery should be 80 percent charged again within 30 minutes thanks to 150 kW charging current.As well as providing the braked towing capacity for your Audi E-tron, where data is available we also have also listed the Audi E-tron's unbraked towing capacity.

More About the E-Tron
In the rear there is plenty of legroom and headroom due to the immense wheelbase of almost three meters. Because there is also no cardan tunnel, even tall people can travel comfortably in the second row and the center console can be converted into a storage compartment. A special option is available for an extra charge: blind spot-free exterior mirror cameras, which send images to seven-inch OLED displays in the transition between the instrument panel and the door, but unfortunately cannot be telescoped in order to be able to function as an additional mirror. Caravaners will probably have to stick with the conventional exterior mirrors.The adaptive air spring chassis, together with the all-wheel drive, the finely adjustable power and the low center of gravity, makes the e-tron not only very agile, but also comfortable and amazingly suitable for off-road use - despite the unladen weight of more than two tons.
