Audi e-tron vs. Tesla Model X vs. Jaguar I-Pace – Highway energy test [video]

Nextmove tested the real range of the Audi e-tron, Jaguar I-Pace and Tesla Model X on the highway at 120 km / h. Tesle Model X was the best in the rating, having covered more than 300 kilometers. Jaguar I-Pace and Audi e-tron barely jumped 270 kilometers.

As a reminder, the Audi e-tron is a crossover in the D-SUV segment with a 95 kWh battery and a price of less than PLN 350 0,27. The aerodynamic drag coefficient Cx is XNUMX. The pre-release version took part in the testing, because the final models had not yet begun to impress the public.

The Jaguar I-Pace is a slightly smaller crossover with a 90 kWh battery in the same segment, priced under PLN 360. Unlike the Audi e-tron, the car is immediately available in Poland, although this also applies to higher (more expensive) equipment versions. The drag coefficient Cx is 0,29.

Tesla Model X is the largest car in the ranking: an SUV from the E-SUV segment with a battery capacity of 90 (Model X 90D) or 100 kWh (Model X 100D). It is also the car with the lowest air resistance (Cx = 0,25). Currently, the only variant available in the offer is the Tesla X 100D, which in Poland will cost around PLN 520.

Tesla and Jaguar I-Pace have already been tested in commercial versions, that is, they are available on the market. All cars were set to an internal temperature of 20 degrees.

 Conditions: 8 steps, highway, average 120 km / h, distance 87 km.

All vehicles were tested on the same stretch of motorway between Munich Airport and Landshut (source).  Tesla showed the lowest power consumption Xwhich with an average speed of 120 km / h (maximum 130 km / h) required 24,8 kWh / 100 km.

The second place was taken by the Audi e-tron, which consumed 30,5 kWh / 100 km. The worst performance was the Jaguar I-Pace, consuming up to 31,3 kWh / 100 km.

In terms of ranges, this corresponds to:

1. (Tesla Model X 100D - 389 kilometers; the car did not participate in this particular test),
2. Tesla Model X 90D - 339 kilometers,
3. Audi e-tron – 274 kilometers,
4. Jaguar I-Pace - 272 kilometers on a single charge.

The situation is so surprising that while the Tesla Model X has the lowest air utilization, it is the longest, largest and widest vehicle, and therefore the largest area. And only the Cd coefficient, multiplied by the surface of the car body, shows the real energy loss due to air breakthrough.

The Electrek portal suggests that the low performance of the Audi e-tron is due to the fact that most of the battery is a buffer there, which provides charging up to 150 kW. Journalists say that of the promised 95 kWh, the net power is only 85 kWh (source).
