5 reasons to buy the 2023 Audi e-tron S Sportback
1. Spacious interior
Despite the sloping sportback roofline, the 2023 Audi e-tron S still has plenty of space inside. In the front, there are 40.8 inches of legroom and 38.1 inches of headroom. In the back, that’s slightly reduced with 39.1 inches of legroom and 37.9 inches of headroom. There are also plenty of cubbies and small storage areas throughout the cabin for things like snacks, water bottles, and sunscreen for your next road trip.
2. Powerful all-electric powertrain
With a 496-hp electric powertrain, this is a vehicle you’ll love to drive. It’ll achieve zero to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, which isn’t bad for a 6000-pound SUV. Even with this level of performance, you’ll still get an EPA-estimated 212 miles on a full charge from the 95-kWh battery and tri-motor setup.
3. Attention to detail throughout
This is a luxury vehicle and you can feel it throughout — especially in the interior, which has been crafted with exceptional attention to detail. Base models feature little luxury touches that make life easier such as a hands-free liftgate and four-zone climate control to keep everyone happy on your next road trip. You’ll also appreciate the standard leather upholstery and carbon fiber details.
4. Feature-rich trims
The e-tron S Sportback has a few trim levels for you to look out for but you’ll be pleased to see the level of standard equipment you get, even at the base level. The Premium Plus model has an elegant panoramic sunroof, a premium audio system, and heated seats in the front and rear. If you want yet more luxury, the Prestige models add rear window sunshades, a head-up display, and acoustic glass for a peaceful ride.
5. Stunning design
The Sportback models from Audi are designed to bring an element of sportiness to an otherwise chunky SUV. The result is a sweeping roofline that makes the e-tron look more like a sports car than a utility vehicle. If you want an e-tron S Sportback with a more imposing design, look out for models with the optional Black Optic package, which features 22-inch black painted wheels, black roof rails, and configurable ambient interior lighting.
