You're incorrect on the rear airbag situation. Rear curtain airbags come standard on all etrons, but it is the side abdomen airbag that is optional. Many people opt out of this side abdomen airbag, as it interferes with car seats, and is generally considered not a good idea for children, as it may end up hurting them. Side abdomen airbags are standard on the front seats, as only adults will be sitting there.

Alex is a natural at car reviews, I've seen all sorts of reviews over the years, and often found the presenter annoying or distracting. Alex is both Informative and brutally honest, whilst being very personable. I've really enjoyed the format too, I like we spend a lot of time around the car and inside the car before actually driving, it's often all those small details that Alex has explained that you only discover after buying a car and they become annoying and you wish you knew about them before. Side thing, I really don't like the move to touch screen for everything that we're increasingly seeing. Frankly I think it's dangerous! In my VW Polo, a baby Golf, I know exactly where all the physical knobs and buttons are, and from muscle memory and touch, I can adjust everything without taking my eyes off the road. There's no way you could adjust temp or fan speed on a touch screen without looking down at it.
I would love to see a review/first look at the VW ID 4! I love seeing your guys' views on these cars and the VW seems like it could be a good "entry" level EV for a more decently affordable price.
I don't understand why car makers keep making digital touchscreen controls for basic stuff like air conditioning, mechanical buttons are so much better at it
I saw the SUV version of this Audi E-tron on the road two weeks ago and we were doing 100 km/h and I was in my ICE car behind the E-tron on passing lane and were going to pass some cars because the speed limit was 120 km/h. I slammed on my accelerator and I thought I accelerate nicely. Then the E-tron slammed on the accelerator and oh boy it just seriously pulled. It even kicked up rocks at 100 km/h speed! It over took 3 cars within like 2 seconds. I had to spend a good while to pass those same 3 cars. That moment cemented my thoughts on getting an EV and not just any EV but Tesla Model 3 Performance. EVs just have colossal amounts of torque and they pull like mad. They have such powerful motors and ICE cars are always left eating dust when EV comes on the scene and starts pulling.
You didn’t even look or mention the DMD headlights. I know not available in the US and Canada but the rest of the world has the possibility of using a proper projector with 1.3 Million pixels in each headlamp. Visual lane assist is so awesome.
Rear side curtain airbags should be included in the base cost of any vehicle nowadays. "don't want some kids head going through the back window / f*** you awdi" - Alex 2021
As a Mk7 GTI owner, felt lined door pockets is truly an underrated feature and I wish every car had them, not only just for water bottles and things to not bump around, but because my EZpass sticks to it when I go on road trips.
“You have to do that through Audi’s thing that is bad. It’s worse than Google maps.” Audi literally has the best built in navigation in the business. It has google earth built in!
I believe in the US, the rear side curtain airbags are mandatory. Since you are in Canukastan, they may not be required yet. I wish you would have mentioned the curb weight, SUV weighs in at a hefty 5700 pounds. That is the reason it's so slow. That's also the reason that it feels like a giant marshmallow on the road.
Not to be pedantic, but the doors on the model X are falcon wings, not bull wings. They have two hinges, not one. That’s how they can open in such a tight space.
"If you like driving, don't get this car. It's not an accelerating drive" (in terms of acceleration) "If you don't like driving, this is an exceptional machine. The adapt of cruising is like no other car" So basically they tell to people that likes driving not to get the e-tron because it's not fast at acceleration. Great review.
I had driven Audi Q7 (2017) and I think the Audi navigation is much better than phones in a big city like Shanghai, where GPS signal is spotty at best due to the sky scrapers. Especially the virtual route and lane information displayed at where the rev counter is. Helps a lot not missing an exit at complex interchanges.

Looks like you didn't use the Dynamic mode, it will more than nudge you into the seat. The setting on the screen was "S" Auto, putting it into "S" Dynamic firms up the suspension, while improving the throttle response. That's when you feel the boost. Not Tesla like in the shove into the seat, but you will feel it.
Not shoving you into the back of your seat is totally an Audi thing. I have an s-line model with access to Sport mode on the transmission and the difference with Drive is MASSIVE.
Did you have this in efficiency the whole time? calling this car slow is hilarious, its not slow at all, the 30-80mph time on it is faster than a mk7 Golf R, Audi S3, Mercedes A35 AMG and BMW M135i. It's very nearly as fast as the B58 powered BMW M340/440i from 30-80mph (Real world driving) - the 0-30mph sprint does not give you 100% power to preserve battery and make it a more enjoyable driving experience, i.e. not throwing you and your passengers back in your seat unnecessarily- but 30mph onwards its a rocketship. It's also faster than the BMW X5 40i and Mercedes GLE 53 AMG - its main petrol competitors, by a fair bit. It's able to have all of that speed (which is more than enough) whilst maintaining its level of luxury, which is probably the highest level of any EV, and far more luxurious than any Petrol SUV
These car videos are amazing! The only thing I'd add would be a little more focus on the technology side of the car, like the nerdy stuff about processors, memory, resolutions and what is the system based on.
Alex you have a great way of communicating to my car guy soul and my new tech brain! Keep up the car reviews. Can we get Linus to review a motorcycle? Or can I review a motorcycle airbag vest’s and other motorcycle tech for ltt? Parts/apparel manager trying to change careers here!
12:53 sounds like you are mistaken. Side curtains are standard, it is rear side torso airbags (like in the front seats) that is optional, it is this way on a lot of German cars because they aren't required for a good crash test result. Why don't they put seatbelt airbags in it too? Not necessary.

It baffles me that wireless phone connection is not completely standard by now, much less forgotten on high-end "luxury" cars
i for sure didnt realize only thinking this guys sounds familiar but talks so different from other car reviewers, until...... he pulls out the LTT water bottles... lol good job guys. love it!
Looks like you didn't use the Dynamic mode, it will more than nudge you into the seat. The setting on the screen was "S" Auto, putting it into "S" Dynamic firms up the suspension, while improving the throttle response. That's when you feel the boost. Not Tesla like in the shove into the seat, but you will feel it.
12:22 that motorcyclist was close to being on your bonnet/hood there lmao
I love how they are now casually reviewing cars
I like how you are making these car videos.
My wife measures trunk sizes by how many bodies can fit in it.
i’m surprised jake doesn’t do some car vids, isn’t he like a car guy???? he literally drives his car with driving gloves
For a split second I thought that was a Periphery sticker lol 0:30
Not shoving you into the back of your seat is totally an Audi thing. I have an s-line model with access to Sport mode on the transmission and the difference with Drive is MASSIVE.
Did you have this in efficiency the whole time? calling this car slow is hilarious, its not slow at all, the 30-80mph time on it is faster than a mk7 Golf R, Audi S3, Mercedes A35 AMG and BMW M135i. It's very nearly as fast as the B58 powered BMW M340/440i from 30-80mph (Real world driving) - the 0-30mph sprint does not give you 100% power to preserve battery and make it a more enjoyable driving experience, i.e. not throwing you and your passengers back in your seat unnecessarily- but 30mph onwards its a rocketship. It's also faster than the BMW X5 40i and Mercedes GLE 53 AMG - its main petrol competitors, by a fair bit. It's able to have all of that speed (which is more than enough) whilst maintaining its level of luxury, which is probably the highest level of any EV, and far more luxurious than any Petrol SUV
5:06 They are the same company :D They are all VW as are Skoda, Seat, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Jetta.
These car videos are amazing! The only thing I'd add would be a little more focus on the technology side of the car, like the nerdy stuff about processors, memory, resolutions and what is the system based on.
Alex you have a great way of communicating to my car guy soul and my new tech brain! Keep up the car reviews. Can we get Linus to review a motorcycle? Or can I review a motorcycle airbag vest’s and other motorcycle tech for ltt? Parts/apparel manager trying to change careers here!
I cannot agree more on the hatred for piano black. Mine stems from the sun hitting it. Same reason I dispised the chromed badges on steering wheels.
1:33 that says a lot of what owning a BMW feels like
12:53 sounds like you are mistaken. Side curtains are standard, it is rear side torso airbags (like in the front seats) that is optional, it is this way on a lot of German cars because they aren't required for a good crash test result. Why don't they put seatbelt airbags in it too? Not necessary.
3:13 "Wheel locks" those are lugs dear editor 😋
Would love to see them review normal cars that normal people can actually afford. There must be innovation in these cars as well.
Norway's best selling car (not best selling EV, but overall best selling car) of 2020 (well, the e-tron, that's probably the sportback and 'normal' one together.)
You got me with the cougar trap...... Two thumbs up boys! 👍👍
Saw one of these at work today. As much as the looks impressed me it doesn't differentiate itself from other Audis enough to stand out. Never went inside tho so I can't speak to how it drives or feels inside.
Alex's car reviews > Alex's laptop reviews. Both still v good :)
Forget LinusTechTips, Welcome to AlexMobBossTips.
as someone looking into the options for an electric car these are so nice
Has Alex been watching Dexter or Hannibal? the serial killer references are super real lol.
Ash is a type of wood. Volcano is Audi's name for the color. The dash is plasticized wood in a gray color, not volcanic ash.
I didn't realize this was a thing I wanted, but after watching a number of these, apparently it is.
