The AUDI E5 Sportback (Chinese: 奥迪E5; pinyin: Àodí E5) is a battery electric compact executive car produced by SAIC Volkswagen under the China-only AUDI marque owned by Audi. It is the first vehicle co-developed between Chinese car manufacturer SAIC Motor and Audi. The car does not feature the four rings logo and the AUDI name is stylised in capitals, as it is considered a distinct brand for the Chinese market.[3]

The AUDI E5 Sportback is developed based on the SAIC Motor's IM L6, sharing the electric motor, battery, electric control system, and the same platform,[4] as part of the collaboration between Audi and SAIC.[5]
The E5 Sportback was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2025[6] following the E concept being first shown at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November 2024, demonstrating a new design direction based on the "Advanced Digitized Platform".[7][8]
The E5 Sportback reached dealerships for display in May 2025. Deliveries are slated to start in late August/early September 2025.[9]
Features
The E5's powertrain features an adaptive air suspension as well as support for all wheel steering. In the interior there is a pillar-to-pillar 4K screen that also integrates the screens displayed by the cameras that replace the traditional wing mirrors.[1][10] The display is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip.[11]
The LiDAR-based AUDI 360 Assisted Driving system is also present on the E5 Sportback. Also included in the interior is an ambient natural lighting system and hidden air vents with a three-signature-scent fragrance diffuser.[12]
Powertrain
The E5 Sportback features a 800 volt architecture and is powered by dual motors producing a total of 764 bhp (570 kW; 775 PS) powered by a 100 kW·h battery and can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in a claimed 3.6 seconds.
