Long driving range focus
Localized tech and infotainment for China

CONS

Limited availability outside China
Real world charging speeds remain unknown

Audi E5 Sportback is a fully electric fastback developed under the Audi China focused lineup with SAIC. It sits in the mid size premium EV segment and uses a five door sportback body with a low roofline and wide stance.

The E5 Sportback uses a large capacity battery designed for long distance urban and highway use. Expected range targets place it above 400 miles on the CLTC cycle. It supports fast DC charging and high power AC charging for home or workplace use. Short charging stops cover daily driving needs.

Pricing positions the E5 Sportback below imported Audi EVs but above mainstream Chinese electric sedans. It suits buyers who want Audi design and build quality with local software and EV tech. Alternatives include the BMW i4 and Tesla Model 3. A direct comparison fits the Audi A6 e-tron in size and intent.
