Audi E5 Sportback

The AUDI E5 Sportback is a battery electric compact executive shooting brake built by SAIC Volkswagen for the China-only AUDI marque, which is written in capital letters and does not carry the four rings logo. It is the first vehicle that SAIC Motor and Audi developed together, and it is based on the SAIC IM L6, sharing that car's electric motor, battery, electric control system and platform. It was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2025, after the E concept was shown at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November 2024, and it reached dealerships for display in May 2025. It runs on an 800 volt architecture with dual motors producing 570 kW from a 100 kWh battery, with a claimed 0 to 100 km/h time of 3.6 seconds. Its interior has a pillar-to-pillar 4K screen that also shows the feeds of cameras replacing the wing mirrors, and it carries the LiDAR-based AUDI 360 Assisted Driving system.
