New Audi e-tron Sportback Quattro EV real world review // Jonny Smith

Video Description

Welcome to the CarPervert Audi e-tron Sportback Quattro EV real world review. The new 2020 Audi e-Tron 55 Quattro Sportback electric 5-seater is the second full EV from Volkswagen's parent company. While VW focus on the ID.3 hatchback Audi is launching another SUV, but this time with more of a fastback coupe roofline compared to its elder sibling. When Jonny drove the regular E-tron last year he was distinctly underwhelmed. With the Sportback 55 Quattro costing some £9000 more and having less rear head room, a smaller boot and no performance upgrades, it does make you wonder whether there was any point in bringing this car to the electric vehicle party. Starting at £79k, the e-Tron Sportback can easily be specced beyond the base price of a Tesla Model X Long Range (£85k) and is far beyond the cost of its Jaguar iPace arch rival, which can be had from £65,000. See below for the tech spec and comparison to the e-Tron SUV. Jonny is particularly proud of his verdict on this CarPervert first drive review. ****** Want to be a CarPervert Patreon supporter? https://www.patreon.com/Carpervert ****** Audi e-Tron Sportback 55 Quattro  From £79,500 (with £3k Gov grant) 241 mile (446km) range WLTP 95 kWh battery 300kW max output (2 x 150kW) Max power 402bhp / Max torque 490lbft / 664nm Front motor = 181bhp / 182lbft Rear motor = 221bhp / 232lbft 0-62mph = 5.7 secs (6.6 when not in boost mode) Top speed = 124mph (limited)  Charge times: 30 mins to 80% @ 150kW DC  70 mins to 80% @ 50kW DC 9 hours to 100% @ 22kW  14 hours to 100% @ 7kW   E-Tron Sportback rear boot 615L  (1665L seats down) Jaguar iPace rear boot 577L (1453L seats down) E-Tron SUV rear boot 660L (1725L seats down) E-Tron Sport-back  4901mm length 2189mm width (inc mirrors) 1616mm height 2520kg kerb weight 1800kg tow limit E-Tron SUV 4901mm length 2189mm width 1629mm height 2490kg kerb weight  1800kg tow limit ********** Thank you for watching.
