Official Specifications and Technical Upgrades

First Generation (2020–2022)

2020: Global Launch as Audi e-tron Sportback

Debut: The e-tron Sportback was introduced as a “coupé SUV” variant of the e-tron quattro, featuring a more sloped roofline for improved aerodynamics. It was built on the same modified MLB platform.
Models & Motors:
- e-tron Sportback 55 quattro: Dual-motor AWD with a total system power of 300 kW (408 PS / 402 hp) and 664 Nm (489 lb-ft) of torque in boost mode.
- e-tron Sportback 50 quattro (Introduced later): A more affordable version with a reduced total system power of 230 kW (313 PS / 308 hp) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque.
Battery & Range:
- e-tron Sportback 55 quattro: Featured a 95 kWh gross battery capacity (86.5 kWh usable). WLTP-estimated range was up to 446 km (277 miles).
- e-tron Sportback 50 quattro: Featured a 71 kWh gross battery capacity (64.7 kWh usable). WLTP-estimated range was up to 347 km (216 miles).
Charging: DC fast charging at up to 150 kW for the 55 model and 120 kW for the 50 model.
Aerodynamics: Thanks to its sloping roofline, the e-tron Sportback had a lower drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.25 compared to the standard e-tron’s 0.28.

2020: Introduction of the Audi e-tron S Sportback

Technical Upgrade: A performance variant with a tri-motor setup (one on the front axle, two on the rear).
Performance: Boost mode delivered a total of 370 kW (503 PS / 496 hp) and 973 Nm (718 lb-ft) of torque.
