Audi e-Tron low range?

I really like the e-Tron but I was quite disappointed by its low range. Our Niro gets better mileage. Is the e-Tron's range really that bad?

Malcolm - The A3 E-Tron technology and design is nearly 10 years old. At that time 2014 to 2018 this was good range and mileage for a PHEV.
If you compare it to a 2024 Niro you are not comparing similar engineering, battery Tech..
Compare your Niro to the Euro Only 2024 A3 E-Tron and you will see a better comparison.
