[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Audi announced on the 2nd that it has launched the Audi brand's pure electric coupe-style SUV, the 'e-tron Sportback 55 quattro,' and will start sales from the 6th.

The Audi e-tron Sportback 55 quattro is equipped with two powerful electric motors mounted on the front and rear axles of the vehicle, delivering a combined maximum output of 360 horsepower (408 horsepower in boost mode) and a maximum torque of 57.2 kg·m (67.7 kg·m in boost mode). Additionally, it features a 95 kWh lithium-ion battery that allows a driving range of 304 km on a single charge based on combined standards. The zero to 100 km/h acceleration time is 6.6 seconds (5.7 seconds in boost mode).

Audi's electric all-wheel-drive system, the electronic quattro, is also installed. The standard adaptive air suspension automatically adjusts the vehicle height by up to 76 mm depending on speed and driving style. Furthermore, through Audi Drive Select, drivers can choose from seven driving modes to suit their preferences, providing dynamic yet stable driving performance in all situations, Audi explained.

It also features a combination of the spaciousness of an SUV, the elegance of a coupe, and the progressive characteristics of an electric vehicle. The vehicle's front includes a vertical strut octagonal single-frame front grille and a diffuser without exhaust pipes. For a sophisticated exterior, Audi has equipped the vehicle with a full paint finish, an S line badge on the front, and an S line exterior package that includes the exterior bumper and rear spoiler as standard.

The matrix LED headlights and LED taillights with dynamic turn signals are installed, allowing brightness to be freely adjusted, boasting high visibility and safety.

The interior of the Audi e-tron Sportback 55 quattro features a battery widely placed under the vehicle floor, providing more legroom for a spacious interior and cargo space. It also applies a matte brush aluminum inlay and Nappa leather package on the upper dashboard, door armrests, and center console. Additionally, it is equipped with multicolor ambient lighting, door entry lights (front seats), a double-spoke multifunction leather steering wheel with shift paddles and heating, and various convenience features such as Valcona leather comfort seats.

Notably, the adaptive cruise assist guides the driver in longitudinal and lateral directions at all driving speeds; the side assist flashes warning lights on the side mirrors when vehicles approach from blind spots or rear; and the intersection assist system recognizes cross traffic ahead and warns of potential collisions with approaching vehicles, all aiding convenient driving. Moreover, the front and rear parking assist system, surround view display, 360-degree camera, and Pre Sense 360 make parking easier.

The 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit Plus and MMI Navigation Plus installed in the Audi e-tron Sportback 55 quattro help the driver control all vehicle information comprehensively and intuitively. The infotainment system also includes the 'Audi Smartphone Interface' for direct smartphone content use, the Bang & Olufsen Premium 3D Sound System (15 channels, 16 speakers, 705 watts), wireless charging, and Audi Connect, enhancing the driving pleasure.

Audi also provides various services for the convenience of e-tron customers. Through the myAudiworld application (app), it offers information about the vehicle overall and, via the e-tron dedicated menu, provides services such as finding and reserving charging stations, checking charging completion status, linking credit cards to the e-tron charging credit card, and checking remaining balances. For customer charging convenience, a total of 35 Audi-exclusive 150 kW rapid chargers are installed at official Audi dealerships and service centers.
