The Lift setting is a couple inches. Not insignificant and definitely noticeable. I was more interested in how it looked slammed.

The pneumatic springs adjust individually to the road conditions depending on the speed and the driver’s preferences, varying the ride height by as much as 76 millimeters (3.0 in) starting from the basic setting of 172 millimeters (6.8 in). On the highway, the body is lowered by as much as 26 millimeters (1.0 in), which improves stability and the aerodynamics, thus facilitating a long range. In offroad mode, it increases ground clearance by 35 millimeters (1.4 in). If the driver also activates the “Lift” function in Audi drive select, the body is raised an additional 15 millimeters (0.6 in). In conjunction with the front angle of approach of 18.2 degrees and the rear angle of approach of 24.4 degrees with the offroad setting, the Audi e-tron is well prepared to tackle gentle offroad terrain. The ramp angle of the electric SUV is 16.8 degrees in this configuration.

It's too bad they can't do a bit more, but 2.0" isn't bad. Thanks!

What order guide?
On the configurator... for the Prestige, it adds:
  • Driver Assistance Package
  • Head-up display
  • Individual contour seats with Valcona leather
  • Massage function for front seats
  • Air quality package - ionizer and fragrance
  • Power door closers
Except for the DAP (available separately), and Valcona... and the nicer 21" wheels... I just see more power sucking equipment to go wrong.

What do you want to know? I will say that the interior is very nice and worthy of the price tag. I don't think anyone will be disappointed, it is just like any other Audi, just electric.

Default REAR Cargo Dimensions Please!

Hello
If anyone has the opportunity (and tape measure) would you kindly measure the rear cargo hold of the eTron
Specifically, Depth from bumper (sill) to back of seats (if possible, with 2nd row upright and folded flat)
Width
Height
Load height (i.e. from pavement to cargo floor)

Thanks!

and if you are curious about cargo capacity... The old Banana box test is funny...

Very interesting! Aside from wondering just how different the Valconia leather is (I’d only want black anyways)... The ‘miss’ that I’d have not going for the Prestige is the rear window manual shades and the acoustic glass. The other power sucking add ons, I can leave behind!

Wind noise being such a factor in EV's, I'm not wanting to go without the dual pane acoustic side glass (the windshield is dual pane acoustic as standard). This is a fairly expensive option on other cars.
The rear shades are nice to have.

IMO, the Valcona leather seats are fabulous to sit on and very soft. My Cayenne has $6000 upgraded leather that isn't as nice. With them you also get the full leather package including:
  • Center console
  • Airbag cap on the steering wheel
  • Upper dashboard
  • Lower dashboard including glove compartment door
  • Door pockets, armrests and upper panels
  • Lower seat covers and backrest seat covers
  • Front and rear headrest shells
Not trying to judge which is better for you, just trying to get all the info out there. Stuff is spread all over the place.
