Performance[]
The DS E-Tense has quick acceleration, responsive handling, and one of the best nitro efficiencies in the entire game, with average top speed being the only drawback. When upgraded, the E-Tense is an excellent option for Class D races. For beginner players, this car is dominant in most situations and, if driven well on the right track, can beat many higher-ranked cars. It is one of the easiest early-game cars to drive. It also has effectively unlimited fuel, with only a 2-minute cooldown that includes time spent loading and racing the last fuel used.
It can compete with the Chevrolet Camaro LT, Dodge Challenger 392 Hemi Scat Pack and Porsche 718 Cayman.
Usage[]
The E-Tense is a very popular choice for multiplayer due to it being very easy to drive and having very good nitro efficiency. It can be competitive in Silver League and even in Gold league as its performance allows it to catch up to higher-ranked Class C and B cars on technical tracks and, if driven properly, it can compete with cars available on higher divisions.
It is also required in 
for Renault DeZir's Showroom event to unlock and max-out the car.
Availability[]
The E-Tense is easy to unlock and max-out. As of Asphalt Legends Unite Expansion Update, within Collector Stage 0, its blueprints can be purchased from Legend Store, in the card packs once the player reached Garage Level 2, in addition to being obtainable in Chapter 1 Career seasons.
