The all-electric e-tron S is a performance version of Audi’s regular e-tron SUV, coming with sharper looks, sporty handling and a boost in power. It’s not like the standard e-tron is lacking in performance. Audi’s battery-powered SUV already has power of 408 PS and an impressive 0-62mph acceleration time of 5.7 seconds.

The Audi e-tron S, however, takes things up a notch, proving a rival to the Tesla Model X and the Jaguar I-PACE. Power of 503 PS is channelled through three electric motors - one driving the front wheels, two connected to the rear wheels. In ‘Boost’ mode, the torque on offer can surge to a 973 Nm. And that results in a rapid 0-62mph acceleration time of just 4.5 seconds.
To put that into perspective, it means the e-tron S is quicker off the mark than a Porsche 718 Cayman S - despite it also being a practical, everyday family car.
There’s a spacious 660 litre boot while you can also expect up to 221 miles of emissions-free driving between battery charges. If you’re considering the Audi e-tron S as a company car, remember it attracts a low Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax of just 2%.
Rapid 150 kW charging can take the battery from 5- 80% full in just 30 minutes, so be sure you get the most out of every charge by taking a look at our guide on picking your ideal charger.
The e-tron S is marked out as different from the regular e-tron S with a unique front bumper, wider wheel arches, diffuser inserts at the rear, and special ‘S’ badged brake callipers.
And when it comes to equipment, you can expect plush air suspension, a sophisticated infotainment system with Audi’s ‘Virtual Cockpit Plus’ tech, and driver assistance systems including ‘Pre Sense’, which uses cameras and radars to detect impending dangers.
