It looks low and squat and with 21 inch alloys, LED matrix lighting and sport adaptive air suspension.

Inside again its typically Audi with particularly comfortable heated leather seats, panoramic sunroof and mood lighting.

Quick e-tron S Sportback thoughts

  • Audi e-tron is a beautiful design
  • Inside its typically Audi, luxurious, functional, and practical
  • The central screen set up with the dual screens and haptic touch is amongst the best on class
  • Driving the e-tron is so smooth and quiet.
  • Its quick, handles like a sports SUV and incredibly responsive
  • The Sportback design is also practical when you want to move larger objects as we discovered.
  • I only have two major issues with the e-tron,
    • first is price. It’s very expensive
    • second is the range. Mid to high 300kms just isn’t good enough, especially for the price.
  • I love Audi’s but for the price I would buy a SQ8 everyday of the week.
