As the world premiere of the Audi E-Tron nears, the
German manufacturer has released the first images and details of the electric
crossover’s interior. Unveiled at the Royal Danish Playhouse in Copenhagen, the interior of
the Audi E-Tron prototype looks exceptionally futuristic and will pave the way
for Audi interiors moving forward. One area of the E-Tron’s cabin
which immediately catches the eye is the angular dashboard which incorporates
slim air vents, black trimming, and accent lighting.
What you may also notice are two small screens found
in the corners of the doors. These screens display the images captured by the
rear-facing cameras which sit in place of traditional wing mirrors. These
“virtual exterior mirrors” will be optional on the production version of the
E-Tron.
Elsewhere, the crossover features Audi’s
industry-leading virtual cockpit in place of traditional gauges while the
center console is made up of two large touchscreens that control all vehicle
functions. The Audi E-Tron also makes use of an intriguing center console that
gives off the impression that the gear lever is floating.
Customers will have a selection of interior options
at their disposal depending on which equipment line they choose. Common among
all trim levels will be stitching on the seats that create a motif resembling
electric circuit boards. Options will include orange contrast stitching and
piping, a contour/ambient lighting package and a selection of upholstery
materials, colors, and inlays.
Despite the vehicle’s sleek shape and low roofline,
Audi says it offers “top-class” headroom and knee room for the full-size SUV
market. Last but not least, the Audi E-Tron will be offered with a Bang &
Olufsen Premium Sound System with 16 speakers and a 705-watt amplifier.
