Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review of the Audi e-tron S Sportback:- The S model features stronger, lower bumpers compared to the standard e-tron.
- The front grill has a closed design, typical for EVs, and features an "S" badge.
- Headlamps start with LED; matrix LED is optional, and digital matrix lights with micro mirrors are also available as an option. These lights can project information on the road for the driver.
- Wider wheel arches and the option for a black package contribute to a bolder look.
- It is 4.9 meters long, for both the e-tron SUV and the Sportback.
- The Sportback’s falling roofline gives it a sport coupe-like appearance.
- Optional digital mirrors are available, better for wind efficiency, but the reviewer questions their effectiveness for safety, and that the view is less realistic.
- There are both AC and DC charging ports. On the tested European model, AC is standard 11kW or optional 22kW, and DC charging is capped at 150kW. Note the setup is different for the UK.
- Standard air suspension is stiffer than the S line version.
- The S model's electric motor setup is significantly different. It uses two electric motors at the rear, one for each wheel, enabling torque vectoring.
- Peak power is about 500 horsepower, and it produces almost 1000 Nm of torque. Acceleration of 0-60 mph is about 4.5 seconds.
- The electric all-wheel-drive system is rear-wheel-biased, at 40% front and 60% rear, but adapts in real time.
- The electric motors provide great agility and allow "some kind" of drifting.
- Energy consumption on the track doubled from normal driving, reaching about 48-49 kWh per 100 kilometers.
- The test model lacks animal skin seats in favor of Alcantara, which is preferable for its more sustainable nature and sportier look.
- The reviewer praises the car's quiet interior and sound system.
- In conclusion, the reviewer believes the e-tron S offers good compromise between power and comfort, as the suspension is stiffer and more direct compared to other cars in the e-tron line. He said that "It is a great riding. Great steering input, so silent in the ride yet powerful" . He likes its drive agility, which makes it feel like a smaller, and agile vehicle, as the new torque vectoring system helps take it to another level. It's great that "It handles so well. It handles like a smaller vehicle even though it is big". Finally, It feels "smoother acceleration" but with less range than the non-S model.
