After a long wait, we finally have a launch date for the Audi e-tron electric SUV - the brand's first all-electric offering in India. The new e-tron will go on sale in the country on July 22, 2021, and will take on rivals like the Mercedes-Benz EQC and the Jaguar I-Pace in the segment. The e-tron launch was delayed due to the second wave of the pandemic but arrives next month, nevertheless. We have driven the e-tron but our review, for now, remains embargoed. So make sure to watch out for the review of the electric SUV coming soon.
