AUDI E-TRON S SPORTBACK - THE 1000 NM EV FULL REVIEW 2021

EV Channels Review

The Audi e-tron S Sportback is presented as a significantly sportier iteration of the standard e-tron, boasting a triple-motor setup enabling active torque vectoring. While the exterior receives bolder styling cues like wider wheel arches, the interior remains largely similar, with high build quality and an optional premium sound system noted. The reviewer highlights the enhanced driving dynamics, particularly on a test track, where the torque vectoring and increased power (500 hp, 1000 Nm) provide a more agile and engaging experience compared to the non-S models. However, this performance comes at the cost of range, with the S version offering approximately 320 km (200 miles) compared to the non-S model's 370 km (230 miles). The reviewer suggests that for everyday driving, the non-S version with the larger battery might offer a better balance of comfort, range, and cost, while still being sufficiently sporty. The virtual mirrors are critiqued for their unrealistic view, and the price premium for the S model is noted as substantial.
