New Audi e-tron 55 arrives in dealerships in June with a starting price of $90,000.
The wait for the 2019 Audi e-tron is about to come to an end. With units starting to arrive in Canadian dealerships in June, we thought we’d take a more in-depth look at the new all-electric e-tron’s price, available trims, and specifications.
Audi e-tron versions and price
There will be two versions of the 2019 Audi e-tron 55, the Progressiv and the Technik. The former starts at $90,000 and from what we saw on e-tron spec sheets leaked in November, will include a heated steering wheel, a sunroof, and a power tailgate.
A Convenience package costing $850 adds
- Four-way power lumbar support for passenger seat
- Heated rear seats
- 4-zone climate controls
- Illuminated door sills.
Other packages available on the base Audi e-tron 55 include a Driver Assistance Package ($2,800) that includes.
- Adaptive Cruise control
- Traffic sign recognition
- Emergency assist
- Intersection assistant and pre sense 360˚
Once you have selected that package you can also add Adaptive Cruise Control Assist ($2,800) which includes
- Adaptive Cruise Assist
- Traffic sign recognition
- Emergency assist
- Intersection assistant and pre sense 360˚
- 4-spoke steering wheel with hands-on detection
Adaptive Cruise Assist adds to the Adaptive Cruise Control’s functionality by enabling full-stop braking and vehicle follow. In other words, if the vehicle ahead slows to a complete stop, the e-tron with Adaptive Cruise Control will do the same, and then automatically speed up again in traffic.

It’s also available with a Luxury Package for $4,500. The Luxury Package includes:

2019 Audi e-tron Engine Specs
The specs are the same in both versions of the new Audi e-tron. Two electric motors combine to send 355 horsepower and 414 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. There’s a a Sport mode that will increase the power briefly to 402 horsepower and 490 pound-feet of torque.
A 95-kWh battery powers both electric motors for about 328 kilometers of range. A 150-kW charger can get 80 percent of that range in 30 minutes while a traditional 220-volt outlet will need 8.5 hours to charge up the e-tron.
