All-New AUDI E5 Sportback | This is NOT Audi #audıe5 #audıe5sportback From vision to reality: new AUDI brand debuts its first model – the AUDI E5 Sportback MediaInfo 04/22/2025 Ingolstadt/Shanghai Audi at Auto Shanghai 2025 Download Press contacts Marking the beginning of a new chapter for Audi’s premium New Energy Vehicle brand AUDI: the first production model – the AUDI E5 Sportback – made its debut at the Volkswagen Group Media Night ahead of Auto Shanghai 2025. It is set to enter a market that is powering the transformation of the global automotive industry. “With our new China-only brand AUDI, we are continuing to push boundaries,” says Gernot Döllner, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. “The E5 Sportback offers the very best qualities of Audi, reimagined for and tailored to customers in China.” “The AUDI E5 Sportback is our first model based on the Advanced Digitized Platform, and it delivers on our brand promise: the best of both worlds. Audi’s DNA and engineering excellence is blended with China’s digital ecosystem and innovations, specifically tailored for our tech-savvy customers,” says Fermín Soneira, CEO of the Audi and SAIC Cooperation Project. The four-door AUDI E5 Sportback is a bold, fully electric fastback with dynamic proportions (length: 4,881 millimeters, width 1,959 millimeters, height 1,478 millimeters). It offers a power output of up to 579 kilowatts and a maximum range of 770 kilometers. Four distinct powertrains offer rear-wheel or quattro drive for a dynamic driving experience, accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in 3.4 seconds. Built on the new jointly developed Advanced Digitized Platform, the E5 offers next-generation connected vehicle functionality and over-the-air updates for all vehicle systems. Market introduction will begin in summer 2025. A new era of Audi in China The new brand AUDI – spelled in capital letters, without the four rings – stands for a shared DNA but clear differentiation. It marks the beginning of a new era for the company in China, ensuring rapid response to the evolving demands of the Chinese market. Rooted in its core brand ethos of “Vorsprung durch Technik,” Audi has tailored its products to the unique needs of Chinese consumers ever since it became the first global premium car manufacturer to enter the market 37 years ago. Building on its outstanding pedigree in China and over a century of engineering excellence, the company is now breaking new ground together with SAIC, establishing a new collaboration model for the co-development of the Advanced Digitized Platform and a new generation of state-of-the-art connected vehicles. By leveraging both companies’ strengths across two time zones, a global team of Audi and SAIC engineers worked closely and simultaneously in Germany and China, managing to cut the development time of the brand’s first production model, the AUDI E5 Sportback, by 30 percent. AUDI E5 Sportback: unmistakable Audi DNA for China’s electric future The result of this thoughtful collaboration between engineering and design teams in Ingolstadt, Germany, and Shanghai, China, the AUDI E5 Sportback offers luxury tailored to Chinese lifestyles and tastes, merging Audi’s superior driving performance, iconic design, and premium quality with an AI-powered connectivity experience.
