2020 Audi E-Tron Sportback becomes Audi’s most expensive electric car

Audi has only announced updates for the European 2020 e-Tron, the company said those changes will eventually make their way to our market. That means the American version will have an updated battery pack that provides more driving range than it currently does. It also means we’re getting the e-Tron Sportback that features a fastback roofline.

Audi released pricing information for the 2020 E-Tron Sportback, a swoopier version of the standard E-Tron that inaugurates several powertrain improvements. The fastback-like model made its debut in late 2019.

The electric Sportback will carry a base price of ₦30,535,636.45 when it begins arriving in American showrooms in the summer of 2020, a figure that includes a ₦387,562.45 destination charge. In comparison, the E-Tron starts at ₦29,522.91.00 after the same destination charge enters the equation. Eligible buyers can claim a one-time ₦2,921,325.00 tax credit from the federal government, and some states offer additional incentives.

At launch, Audi will offer a Limited Edition One model equipped with orange brake calipers, bright exterior trim, S-Line bumpers on both ends, and gray leather upholstery inside. Plasma Blue metallic paint adds a finishing touch to the look. Pricing and availability haven’t been announced yet. Audi disclosed it hasn’t decided how many examples of the One model it will send to the United States yet, but the final number will be in the three-digit range. We don’t know what the Sportback’s list of extra-cost options will look like with one exception: a towing package that lets users tow up to 4,000 pounds.
