Audi e-tron vs Zeekr X

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 174 miles for the Audi e-tron and 171 miles for the Zeekr X - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 30 minutes in the Audi e-tron and 20 in the Zeekr X, so the Zeekr X loses less time at each stop.

The Zeekr X is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 99 mm narrower than the Audi e-tron. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 564 mm of total clearance for the Zeekr X and about 465 mm of total clearance for the Audi e-tron. The Zeekr X also turns in a 0.7 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Audi e-tron and 90% for the Zeekr X. That gives the Zeekr X a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Zeekr X's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Audi e-tron's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
