Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The £79,900 E-tron Sportback is more driver-orientated than the £71,520. It’s capable of stringing together a series of medium-to-high-speed corners. Despite heady levels of weight transfer under braking, body movement is excellently suppressed thanks to a combination of firm damping and fast-acting qualities of the standard air suspension.

Pros

Class-leading refinement
Excellent ride quality
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Lack of refinement

autoexpress^[2]

Reviewer score 76% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The Audi e-tron is Audi's very first all-electric production car. It follows a whole two years after the first Tesla Model X arrived in the UK. Five trim levels are available for the SUV: Technik, Sport, S line, Black Edition and Vorsprung. A new Sportback model (coupe-style SUV) has also been added to the range.

Pros

Class-leading refinement
Quattro all-wheel drive

Cons

Limited range
No seven-seat option

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

Audi e-Tron Sportback is a 2.5 tonne SUV measuring nearly five metres in length. Power is only available for eight seconds but under normal running conditions that's more than enough. There's lots of grip from the Quattro all-wheel drive (now provided by a motor on each axle rather than a load of diffs and clutch packs)

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Punchy interior

Cons

Not as fast as rivals

Reviewer score 82% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carwow have found:

The Audi e-tron is an electric car for those who want to keep their EV preference under the radar. So it's an alternative to the Mercedes EQC and Jaguar I-Pace. At a glance, it appears like a petrol- or diesel-powered Audi SUV, but like every cake shop in the world, it gets much more interesting once you step inside.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Superb infotainment system

Cons

Expensive for what you get

cnet^[5]

Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from cnet have found:

The E-Tron slots in between the Q5 and Q7 SUVs from a purely dimensional standpoint. It's substantially more expensive than even the Q7, which starts at $53,550 in Premium trim. You will, however, have to live without steering-wheel heating, which is a big missing piece for an EV.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Excellent range
Comfortable, quiet ride

Cons

No steering-wheel heating
Expensive for an EV
