They've only released Euro prices, but they equate to around £38k. I'd expect Audi to at least attempt to get the most basic version under the threshold. I guess we will see.
I read £41k for the 30 model.
Yeah, I think that's estimated. Audi might surprise us. Maybe not.
as expected plenty of pricy extras...
Or a £53k Skoda Enyaq?
It’s a sign of the times when I don’t immediately dismiss the idea of a £53k Enyaq isn’t it?!
Well yes, but I doubt anyone will actually spec an Enyaq to that price (until the vrs version is launched at least). I think Skoda did themselves a real disservice giving such an over spec’d car to the press to review. It’s now going to forever be regarded as expensive, when it really isn’t - at least compared to the Q4.
£41,325 to be exact - so clearly not then. Their intended purchasers like the idea of keeping the plebs away from their status symbol.
One of the many short-comings of Euro NCAP is that the grille is ignored for the purposes of the rating, hence big grilles are increasingly a design feature on brick like SUVs as it circumvents the rating. The bottom line is that being run into by one, particularly as someone of shorter than average adult height (e.g. a child) is even worse than most cars.
The bigger battery
I take your point that it is expensive for (maybe) 200 mile range but probably good value compared to far smaller Mazda, Honda and Mini. Not everyone needs long range, many will buy as posh second car for school run, urban use, commuting, etc.
Its a fair point and I agree most don't need the bigger range. However for those that do, the 40 spec cars aren't particularly appealing other than for their looks.
