The model
Read full reviewDespite its more sporty aesthetic, the Audi E-tron Sportback drives in a very similar manner to the regular E-tron SUV, but that’s no bad thing. No, it isn't as sharp as the Jaguar I-Pace in corners, but it is extremely hushed and most versions do a great job of soaking up bumps, while the interior is lavish. As a bonus, it remains usefully practical, too, even with that heavily raked roof. The only real disappointment is the range between charges.
The trim
See full equipmentThe Sportback isn’t available with the lesser E-tron trims, making this the entry point to the range. Standard equipment includes a sporty bodykit, 21in wheels, Audi Matrix LED headlights, adaptive sport air suspension, heated front seats, faux-leather upholstery, two-zone climate control and charging points on both sides of the car so you never have to drag cables over the top of it.
The engine
See full engine specsThis version of the E-tron Sportback hits the sweet spot between performance (0-62mph in 5.7sec) and range (247 miles), plus it’s more comfortable than the pricier S version. Just bear in mind that the Jaguar I-Pace is faster still and can go even farther on a charge.
