Charge time estimates are based on using a 240-volt charging circuit charging from empty to 100% battery capacity. Level 2 is the fastest way to charge at home, though charging times can vary and are dependent on factors such as the capabilities of the charging circuit, charging equipment and the vehicle’s onboard charger.

DC fast charging is the fastest way to charge and only available at pay-for-use public charging stations, though some EVs come with complimentary charging for a limited time. Real-world DC fast charging times can vary greatly, even on the same vehicle, because of this type of charging’s sensitivities to ambient and battery conditions.

86-95 kWh: Battery capacity Battery capacity
Battery capacity is measured in kilowatt-hours, which is a measure of how much energy is used over time. A 70-kWh battery has more energy capacity than a 50-kWh battery and would result in a longer driving range if all other factors were equal. But more battery capacity doesn’t always mean longer range because of differences in energy consumption from vehicle to vehicle. Battery capacity provided by Chrome Data, a JD Power company.

2023 Audi e-tron Sportback review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2023 Audi E-Tron?

The Audi E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback are five-seat electric SUVs that put an emphasis on driving comfort and superb cabin quality. Each comes standard with all-wheel drive and a dual-motor electric powertrain that produces 355 horsepower and 414 pounds-feet of torque. The Sportback looks, well, sportier thanks to its tapered roofline, but the E-Tron and Sportback are identical in how they drive. The more powerful S versions nudge output to an impressive 496 hp and 718 pounds-feet of torque; however, EPA-estimated range for the S drops to a maximum of 212 miles in the S and 208 miles in the S Sportback. The regular E-Tron’s 226-mile range already trails rivals like the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Jaguar I-Pace, and Tesla’s Model X and Model Y.

What’s New on the 2023 Audi E-Tron?

Orange brake calipers, 22-inch alloy wheels, LED matrix headlights and rear side airbags are now standard on the E-Tron Sportback in its range-topping Prestige trim. Those LED lights, along with carbon-fiber cabin trim, are newly standard on the E-Tron S and E-Tron Sportback S.

Should I Buy the 2023 Audi E-Tron?

The 2023 Audi E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback are electric SUVs for car shoppers concerned with shouting to the world that they’re driving an EV. With a conservative exterior design, the E-Tron is a comfortable, smooth-running electric SUV that delivers a strong roster of standard tech and convenience features. It’s a shame the E-Tron’s driving range falls short of most direct rivals’ — and while we’re being picky, the front trunk is also tiny. Still, if you don’t mind its range limitations, the E-Tron is worth a test drive.
