When it comes to performance, the Audi e-tron S Sportback doesn't disappoint. As standard, the three electric motors make 429 hp and 596 lb-ft, but in boost mode, this tops out at 496 horsepower and 718 lb-ft of torque - this can only be maintained for eight seconds, but it's enough to manage the 0 to 60 mph dash in a highly respectable 4.3 seconds. As with all Audi vehicles, the top speed is electronically limited to 130 mph. The throttle could be a little more responsive, as you have to put your foot down flat to get the motors properly motivated. However, the e-tron Sportback never feels lacking, and when properly equipped, the SUV can tow up to 3,300 pounds.
The electric powertrain in the Audi e-tron S Sportback is comprised of three electric motors. Together, they develop 429 hpand 596 lb-ft of torque.

There is never a time when the e-tron Sportback feels wanting for power, and though it may be silent even with pushed to its limits, it can keep up with most sporty crossover SUVs on the road.
