2020 Audi e-tron: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2020 Audi e-tron is the arrival of the Sportback body style in the U.S. This expands the lineup rather than redesigning the whole e-tron range.
About the 2020 Audi e-tron
1st-generation e-tron / e-tron Sportback (2019-2022 before the Q8 e-tron rename); 2020 is the Sportback’s first US model year.
Audi positions the e-tron as an electric luxury SUV with familiar Audi comfort, tech, and road manners rather than a radical EV experience. The Sportback version adds a lower, more dramatic roofline without giving up the everyday usefulness of a midsize SUV. Its core appeal is quiet, polished driving, standard all-wheel drive, a high-quality cabin, and easy-to-live-with technology for shoppers who want an EV that still feels like a traditional premium Audi.
The 2020 e-tron Sportback combines a sloping roofline with dual-motor all-wheel drive and an EPA-estimated 218-mile range. Premium Plus covers the everyday luxuries with ventilated leather front seats, adaptive air suspension, dual touchscreens, and a surround-view camera. Prestige adds features such as massaging front seats, a head-up display, and power soft-closing doors.
