Audi e-Tron SUV To Debut In San Francisco on September 17th890[The Audi e-Tron SUV will be up for booking from September 17th after its formal launch at an event that will be held in San Francisco today. This will be the first time anyone gets a glimpse of the SUV’s final form and figure. Previously, it was decided that the launch would take place in Brussels on August 30th at the Audi Summit but the company decided to hold the launch earlier in light of Audi CEO’s arrest by German law enforcement authorities. CEO Rupert Stadler is under investigation regarding the diesel scandal.
The SUV will be available for booking on a deposit of $1,000 which will be refunded after order completion. Once buyers make the initial payment, they will enter a portal where they can check their order status. This surety system was introduced by Tesla for its Model 3 sedan and it seems Audi has adopted it as part of its future.
Audi also has plans to introduce in-home charging solutions, charging station apps and other supportive technology at its showrooms across America.
Audi has kept any details about the Audi e-Tron SUV a secret but the brand has repeatedly hinted that the five-seater SUV will have a 250-mile range with the 150-kW battery fully charged. The first e-Trons will be handed over to customers by the start of 2019.
