The new AUDI E5 Sportback is not just another electric vehicle. Built for modern drivers from the United States and worldwide. The high performance and smart features, this car is the result of a new partnership between Audi and China’s SAIC.
This blog explores the design, features, and advanced technology of the 2025 Audi E5 Sportback, developed exclusively for China’s growing electric vehicle market.
This new car is the first model of a new brand, also called AUDI, created by Audi and SAIC. While it carries Audi’s well-k5nown quality and design, it also includes technology developed for Chinese buyers.
The brand’s goal is to mix German engineering with local tech. Fresh and modern for China’s growing EV market.
The E5 Sportback looks like a large wagon and is close in size to the Audi A6 Avant (including the 2025 Audi RS6 Avant GT model). It is 4,881 mm long and has a stylish body shape that makes it stand out.
The E5 Sportback is built to handle crowded cities and busy roads. It comes with LiDAR sensors and other tech. It detect delivery bikes and small vehicles, which are common in China.
There is also a smart parking system that learns the path through parking garages and can park itself with no driver’s help.
One of the biggest features is the 27-inch 4K screen that goes across the entire dashboard. A strong chip from Qualcomm powers it. The E5’s digital features were made to fit perfectly with China’s app systems. Including apps for payments, messaging, and even entertainment.
The car’s voice assistant, made by ByteDance (the same company behind TikTok), can adjust its tone and respond like a real person.
The E5 Sportback uses 800-volt charging tech. That means you can add about 370 km of range in just 10 minutes, which is one of the fastest charging speeds available. It shares this platform with other electric Audi models like the A6 e-tron and Audi Q6 e-tron, which helps ensure strong performance and quality across the lineup.
The car will be sold in four power versions. The strongest version offers 776 HP and goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds.
The E5 comes with a large 100 kWh battery that offers up to 770 km (478 miles) of range using China’s CLTC test cycle.
To give a smoother and more enjoyable ride, the E5 comes with air suspension and optional all-wheel steering.
These features help with stability at high speeds and make turning easier in tight city streets. These additions show that the E5 is not only focused on power but also on comfort and control.
This car is made only for the Chinese market and will go on sale in the summer of 2025. If you live in China and are thinking about switching to an electric car with premium features, this may be one of the top choices. Two more models from the AUDI brand are expected to follow in 2026 and 2027.
The new AUDI E5 Sportback is more than a fast electric wagon. It is made for buyers who want the latest in digital features, quick charging, strong power, and a comfortable ride. Built just for China, it meets local needs with advanced tech and practical design.
The 2025 Audi E5 Sportback stands out as a premium electric option crafted specifically for the evolving needs of the Chinese EV market.
