About the 2023 Audi e-tron
1st generation e-tron SUV/Sportback in the U.S. (2019-2023), final model year before the 2024 Q8 e-tron rename and refresh.
The e-tron is Audi’s traditional-feeling luxury EV: a midsize electric SUV with a very quiet cabin, strong all-weather traction, and familiar Audi controls rather than a stripped-down tech-first approach. Audi positions it as a premium daily driver that makes the shift to electric feel easy, while the Sportback version adds a sleeker coupe-like roofline for shoppers who want the same core EV package with a more dramatic shape.
The 2023 e-tron is positioned as a quiet, comfort-focused electric SUV, with adaptive air suspension, a dual-screen cabin, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and standard all-wheel drive on the Premium trim. Premium Plus adds stronger driver assistance, upgraded audio, and heated rear seats. The Chronos SUV and Prestige Sportback are the feature-rich versions, with Digital Matrix-design LED headlights, a head-up display, massaging front seats, and soft-closing doors.

2023 Audi e-tron Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2023 Audi e-tron.
4.1
2023 Audi e-tron
(361 reviews)
“The car is clearly superior as a vehicle to Tesla, though their tech is way better. Audi is definitely a few years behind there but it's still a really great car. Voice controls are trash though.”
“If you're considering the Audi e-tron GT, know it's a fantastic blend of speed, fun, and environmental responsibility. However, while the build quality is generally good, there's room for improvement. Also, the range per full charge is acceptable but could be better. Overall, it's a solid choice, especially if eco-friendly and performance driving are a priority for you.”
