Audi e-tron Sportback
Mid-Size CrossoverProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Audi e-tron Sportback is a mid-size battery-electric crossover in production from 2020. It is powered by a range of electric motor sets aided by batteries from 71kWh to 95kWh.
Essentially, the e-tron Sportback is the hunchback version of the e-tron, the first BEV with the four-ring badge. The car is essentially a Q5 converted for EV. As such, it is ugly, impractical, and hypocritical (in "green" terms).
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, will appreciate the extraordinary approach, departure, and breakover angles that the chassis offers. Audi has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.25 coefficient of drag to show for it.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi E-tron Sportback comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners.

Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)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

Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Audi e-tron has been on sale for a little more than a year. It's time to welcome the coupé-inspired e- tron Sportback to the UK. You will need to step up to the more expensive specs, but like-for-like, the premium this car commands isn't as sizeable as you might imagine. The Jaguar I-Pace is a superior all-rounder, with sharper handling and a better real-world range.
Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Quattro four-wheel-drive
Cons
- More expensive than the regular e-tron
carmagazine[3]
Reviewer score 76% (normalized by Neofiliac)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 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)The e-tron Sportback's price is almost £70k, yet it doesn't have rear-seat cupholders. However, there's plenty of space for five adults, and the more sloping rear tailgate hasn't had too much of an adverse effect on luggage capacity. It has 615 litres available, or enough for seven carry-on cases, although the Audi's capacity is bested by the 656 litres offered by the Jaguar I-Pace.
Pros
- Fun to drive
- Lots of space for five adults
- Excellent infotainment system
Cons
- No rear-seat cupholders
cnet[5]
Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)The E-Tron Sportback offers 27.2 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, or 54.5 with them folded. Headroom is a bit tight for those over 5 feet, 9 inches and the windows don't roll down very far. The cabin certainly feels more intimate and racier, but that's mostly when looking in the rearview mirror.
Pros
- Gorgeous interior
- Sleek looks
- Comfortable to drive
Cons
- Slightly more expensive than a regular E-Tron
