I DRIVE THE 500HP TRI-MOTOR AUDI E-TRON S FOR THE FIRST TIME!

EV Channels Review

The Audi e-tron S Sportback, while a year and a half old in Europe, is finally arriving in the US for 2022. This tri-motor, 500hp variant offers a significant performance upgrade over the standard e-tron, boasting independent rear axle torque vectoring for enhanced handling and even drift capability. The reviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, particularly from mid-speed, and praises the robust braking system and excellent charging curve, which remains a hallmark of the e-tron line. While the ride comfort is slightly compromised compared to the standard model, the e-tron S delivers a much sportier driving experience, making it a compelling option for those prioritizing performance in an electric SUV. The reviewer prefers the standard body style over the Sportback for aesthetic reasons but acknowledges the identical chassis and drivetrain performance between the two.
