The Audi e-tron S came in two trims: Premium Plus and Prestige. Premium Plus is the core model, combining the e-tron S’s electric AWD performance with an upscale cabin and dual touchscreens. Prestige keeps the same power and adds more luxury, visibility, and convenience features, including a head-up display and power soft-close doors.
The Premium Features trim level, sold as Premium Plus, is the core e-tron S, centered on quick, quiet performance and everyday luxury.
Best for: Drivers who want the e-tron S’s full performance character and main luxury features without the Prestige upgrades.
Highlights
The Top Tier Luxury trim level, sold as Prestige, adds everyday comfort and visibility features rather than extra power.
Best for: Drivers who want the most feature-rich e-tron S cabin and value added lighting, driver information, and convenience.
Highlights
Adds matrix-design LED headlights, a head-up display, power soft-close doors, rear door sunshades, and intersection assist over Premium Features. Its 496-hp triple-motor AWD system is unchanged.

The U.S. e-tron S lineup used two trims: Premium Plus and Prestige. Premium Plus is the core model, while Prestige adds luxury, lighting, and driver-information features rather than more power.
Prestige adds features such as a head-up display, power soft-close doors, rear door sunshades, intersection assist, and upgraded lighting. Both trims share the same three-motor AWD performance hardware and adaptive air suspension.
No. Prestige does not add more power. Both e-tron S trims use the same triple-motor electric AWD setup, so the upgrade is mainly about cabin comfort, lighting, and driver information.
Premium Plus gives you the full e-tron S performance setup. It includes three electric motors, all-wheel drive, and adaptive air suspension, along with leather seating and dual touchscreens.
Prestige is the trim to look for. It builds on Premium Plus with a head-up display, soft-close doors, rear door sunshades, upgraded lighting, and added driver-assistance equipment.
Prestige has the head-up display. It projects key driving information into the driver’s line of sight, while Premium Plus focuses on the standard digital instrument screen.
Prestige has power soft-close doors. They pull a partly latched door fully shut, adding convenience without changing the e-tron S driving experience.
Yes. Premium Plus and Prestige both have adaptive air suspension. It is part of the e-tron S performance package, not a reason by itself to step up to Prestige.
Yes. Premium Plus includes dual touchscreen infotainment with built-in navigation, and Prestige builds on that trim. Both also use a separate digital instrument display.
Prestige has rear door sunshades. They are a useful extra for shoppers who often carry rear-seat passengers and want more shade and privacy.
Prestige is the trim associated with the upgraded matrix-design LED headlights, which became standard on that trim for 2023. Check the exact equipment on an earlier used example.
For 2023, yes. Carbon square interior inlays and the LED interior lighting package became standard across Premium Plus and Prestige. Equipment on 2022 examples should be checked individually.
Prestige has intersection assist. It is one of the added driver-assistance features that separates the top trim from Premium Plus.
