Are you looking to embrace the future? If so, you'll want to take a look at what the Audi e-tron and the Tesla Model 3 have to offer. Blending sporty, long-range capability with real-world convenience, it's easy to see why both electric models are taking the streets of Parker, Castle Rock, and Denver by storm.
On this page, our team at Audi Denver has put together this helpful 2022 Audi e-tron vs. 2021 Tesla Model 3 comparison to help you determine which model is better suited for your lifestyle. Interested in learning about their interior, towing, and safety? Read on to get started.

When you can cover hundreds of miles on a single charge, comfort becomes an important factor. While both vehicles provide wide seating for up to five passengers, the e-tron gives your backseat passengers the special treatment.
These vehicles supply similar interior dimensions for drivers and their co-pilots, but the Audi e-tron has more space for rear passengers to stretch out and get comfortable. This is perfect for those long-distance treks you'll take with your friends and family. Growing families will also find settling into the e-tron easier because of its more ample rear seats (which make it easier to strap in a car seat).

Adventure awaits you in the Audi e-tron and Tesla Model 3. From switchback mountain passes to slick city streets, there's no telling what each day might bring. To keep you confidently on the move, both models come with an all-wheel drive system.
The 2022 Audi e-tron's impressive drivetrain is especially handy when it comes to this SUV's towing power. The e-tron boasts a maximum 4,000-pound towing capacity when properly equipped. With that much power, you can tow these items and more:
- A couple of water skis for some fun in the sun during your weekend lake house visit.
- A pop-up camper for a night under the stars with your family.
- A utility trailer stocked with home improvement equipment for your home garden.
The Audi e-tron's capability puts it squarely in line with the gas-powered big dogs. On the other hand, the Tesla Model 3 falls behind with its 2,000-pound maximum towing capacity. So, that means you'll have to leave a few dirt bikes or water skis at home. However, if those items are a dealbreaker, the Audi e-tron may be the best option for you.
When it comes to a life full of unknowns, it's important that you own a vehicle that can roll with the punches. Luckily, the 2022 Audi e-tron and 2021 Tesla Model 3 both equip intuitive safety features to keep you secure everywhere you go. They share similar features like:
- Lane Departure Warning
- Parking System Plus
While both vehicles are incredibly capable of keeping you safe from Point A to Point B, the Audi e-tron includes the Audi side assist with Rear cross traffic assist and Vehicle exit warning. This can really put you at ease when you have kids exiting the vehicle on a busy street. The exit warning helps them understand when it’s safe to get out. The Tesla Model 3 goes without these features, unfortunately.
