1-Stop Range Definition ⚡
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first stop is considered.
🚗 Driving Profile
- Begin with a fully charged battery
- Stop 1: Drive until the battery reaches 10% state-of-charge (SoC)
- Perform a 15-minute fast charge
- Stop 2: Continue driving until the battery again reaches 10% SoC
📋 Assumptions
- Driving speed, climate, and environmental conditions are based on Real Range Highway data
- No additional time required to initiate or stop the charging session
- The charging station always delivers the maximum power requested by the vehicle
- The battery is assumed to be in optimal health and condition
⚠️ Important Note : In real-world driving, it is practically impossible to replicate these conditions exactly.
This benchmark should therefore be viewed as a comparative metric, designed to evaluate vehicles under standardized conditions rather than predict exact trip distances.
5-Star Rating Definition
Assignment of Stars in 2025
- ☆ 0 less than 200 km
- ★ from 200 km to 325 km
- ★★ from 325 km to 450 km

- ★★★★ from 575 km to 700 km
- ★★★★★ more than 700 km
Based on 2025 thresholds: 3 stars awarded for 490 km average. Half-stars interpolated. Vehicles with a rating between these values receive a rating based on a linear scale.
Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
- Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
- Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
- Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80% Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
Pros & Trade-Offs
Pros:
- Good range for a single-motor variant; enough for typical commuting or regular trips without frequent charging.
- DC fast-charging capability is strong at ~165 kW — useful for longer trips.
- Premium build and features; Audi tends to deliver on materials, comfort, tech.
- Spacious for its class (boot, passenger space).
Trade-offs:
- Not as quick as dual-motor / AWD versions. If you want performance or more grip in bad weather, those might be better.
- Top speed is modest (~160 km/h) vs more performance variants.
- As with all EVs, actual range can drop under cold weather, fast driving, heavy loads, use of climate control, etc.
