When it comes to all-electric luxury SUVs, two big names come to mind: Audi and Tesla. In this comparison, our team at Audi Devon will pit these two flagship all-electric models from these two popular brands to see which one reigns supreme.
EV shoppers in the Devon, Malvern, and Phoenixville, areas should read ahead to see whether the 2022 Audi e-tron or the 2022 Tesla Model X comes out on top.

In terms of on-road performance, the Tesla Model X dazzles drivers with an all-electric range exceeding 350 miles per charge. The Audi e-tron provides drivers with more than an EPA-estimated 220 miles per charge, which is still plenty of range for a full week of commuting and weekend errands.¹
While both electric SUVs have convenient charging options, only one of them delivers such an invigorating yet stable drive. Audi goes above and beyond once again with electric quattro® all-wheel drive-but it doesn't stop there.
The Audi e-tron also comes standard with an all-wheel air suspension with five suspension modes. By enhancing the e-tron's performance and control, these systems work together to make your rides smoother and more fun to navigate. Although the Tesla Model X comes with a standard all-wheel drive system, it lacks a similar suspension feature.
The 2022 Audi e-tron and 2022 Tesla Model X were designed with aerodynamics and style in mind. Sleek lines and rounded edges give the illusion of forward motion even when they're idling or parked.
The e-tron and Model X begin to differ, though, once you move inside the cabin. The e-tron comes standard with five spacious seats, while the Model X gives you the choice between a 5-, 6-, and 7-passenger layout.
While this kind of personalization is rivaled by no other model in the class, its cabin appeal stops here. The Audi e-tron caters to comfort for all with a standard four-zone automatic climate control system while Tesla only gives you three zones.
Furthermore, the Audi plays on its luxury roots with available 18-way power-adjustable front seats with ventilation and massage capabilities. While the Tesla gives you heated and ventilated seats, you can kiss massage capabilities goodbye when you opt for this brand.
Both the 2022 Audi e-tron and the 2022 Tesla Model X give you a wide range of cutting-edge technology features to be excited about. In the Tesla, you'll get an IMAX-esque 17-inch touchscreen display at the helm, while the e-tron provides several innovative screens that you can interact with.
Both the 10.1-inch MMI® touch response infotainment system and Audi Virtual Cockpit plus give you:
- Updates from your smartphone via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
- Turn-by-turn navigation via Google Earth™ maps.
- Amazon Alexa integration to help you connect with your other smart devices.
- A bird's-eye view of your surroundings via the Top view camera system with Virtual 360° view.
This disparity represents one of the biggest pitfalls of the Tesla Model X: exclusivity. Tesla is so fixated on being unique that they've alienated both Apple and Android users with their lack of smartphone integration. You'll miss out on Amazon Alexa integration with the Tesla as well.
There's no arguing the coolness of the 2022 Tesla Model X with its massive infotainment display and Falcon Wing doors, but it can't compete with the luxury experience of the 2022 Audi e-tron.
Convenience and comfort win the e-tron the battle of the all-electric luxury SUVs. See for yourself by taking a test drive with us at Audi Devon. We'll show you how this model will transform every trip you take through Devon, Malvern, and Phoenixville.
