Overview
Audi introduced its e-tron electric SUV for 2019. Now it has followed it up with the 2020 e-tron Sportback. The two models are mechanically identical and mainly differ in styling. Put simply, the Sportback is a regular e-tron with a tapered rear roofline. It looks sleeker than the regular e-tron but has a little less rear headroom and cargo capacity. The e-tron — regular or Sportback version — is one of just a few luxury electric SUVs available.

The e-tron Sportback matches the power output of the standard e-tron at 355 horsepower and 414 lb-ft of torque. A special Boost mode can be activated to increase output to 402 hp and 489 lb-ft, but only for 8 seconds. That was sufficient enough to propel the standard e-tron to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds at Edmunds' test track. The Sportback feels just as lively when given the juice, and we expect it to return similar, if not slightly quicker, times.
The Audi e-tron Sportback has many things going for it. We think it's a bit more practical and solidly built than Tesla's Model X with a quieter and more luxurious cabin. But the Tesla certainly has more attractive numbers when it comes to range, performance and price. The Sportback's loss of rear headroom and cargo space isn't a huge compromise. But when combined with a higher price, it's hard recommending it over the more conventional e-tron SUV. Check back for a full e-tron Sportback rating coming soon.
2020 Audi e-tron Sportback trim level differences
The 2020 Audi e-tron Sportback is offered in three trim levels: Premium Plus, Prestige and Edition One. Power is derived from the 95-kWh battery pack and sent to a pair of electric motors. There's one in front and one in back, making the e-tron all-wheel-drive. Maximum output is 355 horsepower with a boost up to 402 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque in Sport mode for up to 8 seconds. Range is estimated to be 218 miles, and the e-tron has fast-charging capability up to 150 kW. Compare the 2020 Audi e-tron Sportback trim levels in-depth.
Which e-tron Sportback trim does Edmunds recommend?
The e-tron Sportback's base trim, the Premium Plus, is the one we'd recommend. It comes with a full suite of standard features, such as heated and ventilated front seats, Audi's 10.1-inch MMI infotainment screen and the Bang & Olufsen sound system. It also matches the Prestige and Edition One when it comes to power and range, so there's not much practical gain in upgrading to the more expensive trim levels.

Sometimes feels heavy
Pricey
Long story short, I love this car. Had been shopping Ev’s for a while and when a great price came up, I jumped. While … I have never spent this much money on a car, I feel like what I’m driving is worth it. Bought a model Y and while I had amazing acceleration and better range (on paper) the build quality was dismal and the road noise was excessive. And this may not matter to some, but they are far too common now.
The biggest con (as you’ll see if you’ve done any research) is that the range is lower than competitors. This isn’t an issue for most people, definitely not for me. For my commute, I charge every 3 days and never have to worry. In addition, ev rates in Nevada mean I charge for .05 a kWh, meaning this car costs 1/6th less than my BMW X5. And I never have to go to a gas station again. Also, the Electrify America network is getting better, and made a 300 mile road trip a breeze.
Highly recommend checking this car out. Drive it back to back with competitors to see which benefits are important to you. There are definitely competitors that are arguably more fun to drive, and go further on a charge, but the pros of the etron Sportback outweighed he cons for me.
