AUDI E5 Sportback Export from China — Specs & Quote

Name: AUDI E5 Sportback
Brand: Audi
Availability: PreOrder

Why this model

What makes the AUDI E5 Sportback worth importing

01

787 hp and 3.4 seconds

The quattro version produces 579 kW. That is supercar performance in a five-door sportback, at a price starting around 32,500 US dollars in China.

02

773 km CLTC on the 100 kWh pack

Long range alongside the performance, so the car is not a compromise in either direction.

03

SAIC engineering under an Audi wordmark

The E5 uses SAIC underpinnings and is sold as AUDI without the four-ring badge — a deliberate sub-brand for China. Honest to say so, since it is not a German-engineered Audi.

04

10,000 orders in thirty minutes

Chinese demand at launch was exceptional, which means production ramped quickly and supply is real rather than theoretical.

A dash means the manufacturer does not publish that figure for this version — we do not estimate it. Range standards differ: CLTC and NEDC read higher than WLTP for the same car, so compare like with like when quoting against a European rival.

About this model

Where the AUDI E5 Sportback sits in the market

The E5 Sportback is a SAIC Audi product launched in September 2025, sold under the AUDI wordmark without the four-ring badge — a deliberately separate sub-brand for China. It offers a 76 kWh LFP pack at 618 km CLTC, 83 and 100 kWh CATL NCM packs at 623 and 773 km, and a quattro version producing 579 kW that reaches 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.

It is important to be straight about what this is: the E5 uses SAIC engineering rather than being a German-developed Audi, which is why Audi separated the branding. That is not a criticism — the specification is genuinely competitive and 10,000 orders arrived in the first thirty minutes. But a customer buying it expecting German engineering under the badge should be told the actual position. Parallel-export applies with no warranty abroad.

Before you order

What an importer must know about the AUDI E5 Sportback

LHD; right-hand-drive availability is not documented. Parallel-export applies with no Audi warranty abroad. Important disclosure: the E5 uses SAIC engineering and is branded AUDI in wordmark form without the four-ring badge — it is not a German-developed Audi, and a customer should understand that before buying. Digital side mirrors are fitted, which are prohibited in several markets — specify conventional mirrors if your destination requires them. Charging is GB/T. Published dimensional data is limited given the recent launch.

AUDI E5 Sportback FAQ

Questions importers ask about this model

Is this a real Audi? +

It is an Audi-branded product built by SAIC Audi on SAIC underpinnings, sold under the AUDI wordmark deliberately without the four-ring badge — Audi separated the branding precisely because it is not a German-engineered car. The specification is genuinely competitive and it sells extremely well in China. But a customer expecting German engineering should be told the actual position rather than discovering it later.

Are the digital side mirrors a problem? +

They can be. Camera-based side mirrors replacing glass are legal in China, Japan and parts of Europe but prohibited in several other markets. If your destination requires conventional mirrors, that must be specified at order time as a factory option — it is not something a workshop can retrofit properly. We check the rule for your market before the order rather than at customs.

Which version should I quote? +

The 100 kWh quattro if the customer wants the halo product — 787 hp, 3.4 seconds and 773 km CLTC is a remarkable combination at the price. The 83 kWh rear-drive version at 623 km is the sensible volume choice. The 76 kWh LFP entry car suits hot markets and fleet use, since LFP tolerates heat and frequent fast charging better than the NCM packs.

Can EV Auto Pro supply the AUDI E5 Sportback for export? +

Yes, with an honest caveat. Audi sells this model through official channels in China only, so export units move through China's parallel-export channel. We source the vehicles, handle export and destination-market documentation and shipping, and explain the warranty and after-sales position for your country before you commit. Tell us the quantity and destination and we will confirm feasibility and send a real quote.

What does a AUDI E5 Sportback quote include? +

We quote per confirmed configuration rather than publishing a fixed price we cannot hold. Every quote states the vehicle cost, inland transport, export handling, documentation and shipping separately, as EXW, FOB or CIF depending on your request — so you can see exactly what is and is not included before you commit to a deposit.

How is the vehicle checked before shipment? +

We check condition, appearance, mileage, configuration, battery status and basic functions before loading, and send you a photo and video report. If something does not match the specification you ordered, it is resolved before the unit is loaded rather than after it arrives at your port.

What warranty applies to an exported AUDI E5 Sportback? +

Warranty policy depends on brand, model and destination country, and some manufacturer warranties are limited or void outside China. We explain the actual warranty position for your market before order confirmation rather than after, and we supply common spare and maintenance parts for units we have exported.
