Unveiling not just one but four premium electric mobility options in the Kingdom, the range consists of the Q8 e-tron, Q8 Sportback e-tron, e-tron GT quattro and RS e-tron GT. This pioneering stride embodies SAMACO's drive to progress the nation\u2019s premium EV market, aligning perfectly with Saudi's sustainable goals for a brighter, cleaner, and notably faster tomorrow.\r\n\r\nSimon Horabin, Audi General Manager SAMACO Motors, commented, \"We're not just stepping into an electric future; we're enveloping it in unparalleled luxury and power. The roadmap set by Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 provides the perfect backdrop for the unveiling of the e-tron range. Together, Audi Saudi Arabia and SAMACO Motors look forward to helping the Kingdom develop its vision into a reality.\"\r\n\r\n<strong>Showroom and public charging<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAudi Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment\u00a0 to progressing the public charging infrastructure in the Kingdom is demonstrated in the investment of 5 high performance chargers (HPC) to be fully installed and operational by the end of 2023. The locations of these high performance chargers has been strategically selected to support high density, urban locations in Saudi Arabia, including Diriyah and King Abdulaziz Financial District (KAFD), in Riyadh. Additional investment in sites across the Kingdom is being explored beyond 2023. The commitment in public charging infrastructure ensures that Audi e-trons\u2019 Kingdom-wide are always prepared for their next adventure.\r\n\r\nThese installations add to the existing HPCs in Audi Centre\u2019s across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Khobar, with the intent of implementing a comprehensive electric ecosystem for a robust infrastructure rollout in the coming years, whilst supporting the government's plan to invest in 130 HPCs.\r\n\r\n<strong>Home charging and value proposition<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAs part of an Audi e-tron purchase, e-tron customers will enjoy access to a complimentary \u00a0home check by Audi\u2019s charging partner, Desert Technologies, to assess the customer\u2019s individual home charging requirements to determine the necessary upgrades or installations needed.\r\n\r\nIn addition, Samaco Motors will offer each Audi e-tron purchase with a complimentary\u00a0 Siemens 22kW home charger, which will be installed at the \u00a0customer\u2019s home.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=\"2955\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_column_text el_class=\"article-copy\"]<strong>e-tron range product offer and specification<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe Audi e-tron range will be available with a high level of standard specification across the model line-up. This includes a range of interior, safety and convenience, performance and technological features. A brief summary of the standard specification (to name a few key equipment) is detailed below:\r\n\r\n<strong>Audi Q8 e-tron:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe new Audi Q8\u00a0e-tron\u00a0carries the success story of the pioneer Audi\u00a0e-tron\u00a0forward under a new name. With ample luxury class comfort, an optimized drive concept, improved aerodynamics as well as better charging performance and battery capacity, the Audi Q8\u00a0e-tron\u00a0is the top-of-the line model in Audi\u2019s electric SUV portfolio. A new design for the destinctive front bumper lends a fresh appearance to the Q8\u00a0e-tron.\r\n\r\nAudi offers the new Q8\u00a0e-tron\u00a0in two body variants: as a classic SUV and as a Sportback that combines the spaciousness of an SUV with the elegant lines of a large coup\u00e9. The total luggage compartment volume is also generous, with around 630 liters (including frunk) in the SUV and around 590 liters in the Sportback. The Audi Q8\u00a0e-tron\u00a0offers ample space for five passengers and their luggage, making it the perfect car for long-distance drives.\r\n\r\nThree drive variants are available for each of the two body styles \u2013 all with electric all-wheel drive. The output range extends from 250 kW in the Q8 50\u00a0e-tron\u00a0and 300 kW in the Q8 55\u00a0e-tron\u00a0to 370 kW in the SQ8\u00a0e-tron, which is powered by three electric motors. The models\u2019 ranges lie between 491 and 600 km.\r\n\r\n<strong>Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT: <\/strong>\r\n\r\nElectric mobility is becoming dynamic and fascinating, as proven by the Audi\u00a0e-tron GT. The four-door coup\u00e9, which is introduced on the market as an RS model at the same time, reinterprets the classic idea of the gran turismo: Its design is highly emotive, its technology is revolutionary. Two powerful electric motors provide confident electric all-wheel drive and stunning road performance. The high-voltage battery with a net energy capacity of 84 kWh enables ranges of up to 488 kilometers (for the Audi\u00a0e-tron GT\u00a0quattro) to be achieved and can be recharged extremely from 0-100 km\/h \u00a0in 3.3s thanks to its 800-volt technology.

It caters to those who seek performance without compromising on sustainability, all with a near-silent drive, and zero local CO2 emissions.\"\r\n\r\n<strong>The e-tron range: Future foundry for an all-electric Kingdom<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe e-tron is not just a car; it's the future of mobility. Beyond the thrill of its breathtaking acceleration, the e-tron symbolizes everyday practicality. It\u2019s a nod to a future where charging is as effortless as filling up at a gas station. With every e-tron purchase, Audi promises a holistic EV ownership experience. A standard 8-year battery warranty speaks volumes about the confidence in the Audi e-tron's enduring spirit. Furthermore, Audi Saudi Arabia goes the extra mile, quite literally, with a free home installation, promising a smooth, sustainable drive into the future of premium electric mobility.\r\n\r\nThe e-tron stands unparalleled in public charging too, with its range calculator answering all distance-related queries. Its capability to journey up to 417 km (WLTP) is a testament to its design, adaptable to both cityscapes and serene countryside\u2019s. The range projections are grounded in real-world driving experiences, even accommodating the luxury of an activated air conditioner, showcasing that efficient driving can stretch those kilometers further.\r\n\r\n\"With the e-tron, we\u2019re forging a path where tomorrow\u2019s dreams are today\u2019s reality. Our commitment is not just to a car, but to an entire electric ecosystem. The future isn't just in the cars we drive, but also in the homes we live. Our end-to-end electric solution ensures that our customers are geared up for the future, right from their doorstep to wherever their journey takes them\" Simon Horabin adds.\r\n\r\nThe Audi e-tron range has officially launched in the Kingdom and is available at all Audi Centres\u2019 for test drives.
