PERFORMANCE SUV EV AUDI ETRON S SPORTBACK REVIEW 2021

EV Channels Review

The Audi e-tron S Sportback review highlights its significant performance upgrades over the standard model, primarily driven by its three-electric-motor setup enabling active torque vectoring. The reviewer praises the car's astonishing agility and precise steering, making it feel like a smaller vehicle despite its size and weight, especially on the racetrack. The S model boasts 500 horsepower and nearly 1000 Nm of torque, achieving 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. However, this performance comes at the cost of range, dropping to approximately 320 km (200 miles) from the standard e-tron's 370 km (230 miles). While the interior offers high build quality and a clean interface, the reviewer notes the limited availability of sustainable materials and the optional digital mirrors, which they found to be an unrealistic view. Ultimately, the reviewer suggests that for most users, the non-S e-tron offers sufficient performance with better range and a lower price point, though the S version delivers a uniquely sporty driving experience in its segment.
