byClint Simone^{Senior Reviews Editor
Clint Simone has worked in the automotive industry since 2015. He has tested and reviewed hundreds of vehicles over the course of his career. Before joining Edmunds as a senior reviews editor, Clint contributed to Motor1.com and InsideEVs, evaluating mostly electric cars. Clint loves hot hatchbacks more than any other type of vehicle but secretly enjoys driving big trucks when he gets the chance. He would never admit to that.}

Pros

Comfortable seats and ride
Many standard safety and luxury features
Well-executed driver assistance systems

Cons

Touchscreen user interface can be distracting to use
EPA-estimated range is merely adequate compared to others
More expensive and less practical than the standard e-tron

What's new

Black headliner now standard on all trims
Minor updates to feature availability
Part of the first e-tron generation introduced for 2019

Overview

The 2023 Audi e-tron Sportback is the coupe-like version of the brand's all-electric crossover SUV. The Sportback's sloped roofline looks more appealing, but the sacrifice is slightly less space for rear seat passengers. This is the final model year before the car receives an extensive update and takes on a new name, the Q8 e-tron Sportback.

Edmunds Tested Range^{Edmunds begins with a full battery charge and drives the vehicle on a mix of city and highway roads (approximately 60% city, 40% highway) until the battery is almost entirely empty. (We target 10 miles of remaining range for safety.) The miles traveled and the indicated remaining range are added together for the Edmunds Tested Range figure.}

EV batteries lose 1-2% of range per year. Est. range for this car is 202 miles after 8 years.^{Electric cars typically experience 1-2% of range loss per year with slightly faster degradation over the first 50,000 miles as the car settles into its long term state, according to Recurrent's study of 15,000 EVs.}

Estimated range map^{This map is a visual representation of the possible one-way and round-trips by this vehicle (on a full charge) from the geometric center of Columbus, Ohio. The depicted ranges are based on the estimated new vehicle range value provided by the EPA, rounded down to miles for one-way and miles for round-trip. Actual range will vary depending on the condition of this vehicle’s battery pack, how you drive, driving conditions and other factors.Map display generated using: © openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT | Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors | Leaflet} from

240V Home Charging^{Estimated total charging time when using a 240V outlet. This is either a 3-prong or 4-prong outlet used for appliances, for example a clothes dryer.}

EV Battery Warranty

8 yrs or 100,000 miles^{The federal government requires that EV batteries be warrantied for a minimum of eight years or 100,000 miles. The EV battery warranty includes replacement if your battery capacity drops below a certain percentage of the original capacity.}

According to GeoTab’s data, if the observed degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle.

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

For this year, the Sportback's dual motors provide 355 horsepower or 402 hp when in the temporary Boost mode. With that Boost engaged, the Sportback can hit 60 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds, according to Audi. That's quick by normal SUV standards but a bit off the pace of the latest dual-motor electric SUVs. The same is true of range. The EPA estimates the e-tron Sportback can go about 225 miles on a full charge, which is less than several of its competitors.

Audi's e-tron does offer a comfortable, well-built interior and many appealing standard features. But for the money it's outclassed by the BMW iX, Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV and Tesla Model X. Even high-end versions of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 are competitive and significantly less expensive. We suggest taking a look at those options first, or even waiting for the updated 2024 Q8 e-tron Sportback, before going with the 2023 model.

Which e-tron Sportback does Edmunds recommend?

Even with the base Premium trim's long list of standard features, we think the Premium Plus trim hits the sweet spot. The midlevel trim includes some desirable extras such as standard ventilated front seats, a Bang & Olufsen audio system, and adaptive cruise control with lane keeping assistance.

Audi e-tron Sportback models

The 2023 Audi e-tron Sportback is offered in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. Power is derived from a 95-kWh battery pack and sent to front- and rear-mounted motors, making the e-tron Sportback all-wheel-drive. Power output is 355 horsepower and 414 lb-ft of torque, and the Boost mode increases that to 402 hp and 490 lb-ft for up to 8 seconds. The EPA-estimated range is 225 miles. Feature highlights include:

Premium
The base Premium trim comes well equipped with:

20-inch wheels
LED headlights
Adaptive air suspension (can adjust the vehicle's ride height and improve ride comfort and handling)

Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

Premium Plus
The Premium Plus trim adds:

Upgraded LED headlights
Second charging port (AC only)
Heated and ventilated front seats

Audi e-tron Sportback vs. BMW iX

The BMW iX is more expensive than the Audi but comes with a considerably more range and more interior space. Its exterior looks might be a nonstarter for some buyers, but the iX has a big advantage with overall practicality that we think is worth the price difference.

Compare Audi e-tron Sportback & BMW iX features

Audi e-tron Sportback vs. Tesla Model Y

The Tesla Model Y sells in huge numbers for good reason. It has an excellent driving range and relies on the best charging infrastructure around. Apples to apples with the Audi, the Model Y is more spacious and also quicker. The biggest downsides to the Tesla are its overly stiff ride and lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

Audi e-tron Sportback vs. Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron

Audi's entry-level electric car, the Q4 e-tron Sportback is smaller than the e-tron Sportback, but not by much. The Q4 can also travel farther, with an EPA-estimated maximum range of 242 miles. Though its acceleration times are slower than the bigger Sportback, the Q4's cheaper starting price and better range make it the winner in our book.
