The e-tron Sportback is an all-electric coupé SUV shown first as a concept at the 2017 Shanghai Motor Show. It has the same powertrain/battery as the e-tron SUV. Both cars are produced in Brussels, Belgium.{{Cite web|url=https://evcompare.io/cars/audi/audi_e-tron_sportback_concept/|title=Audi e-tron Sportback concept specs, photos, price, offers and incentives|website=EV Compare.io|language=en|access-date=2019-04-16|archive-date=16 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190416175103/https://evcompare.io/cars/audi/audi_e-tron_sportback_concept/|url-status=dead}} As in the e-tron SUV, the battery of the vehicle is liquid-cooled.{{Cite web|url=https://www.audiusa.com/technology/efficiency/e-tron#/modal/modal-sportback-concept|title=Audi e-tron® Electric Cars {{!}} Audi USA {{!}} Audi USA|website=www.audiusa.com|language=en|access-date=2019-04-16}}

The e-tron's battery management system keeps part of the battery capacity as a buffer, which is not part of the usable capacity; now the size of that buffer was decreased to unlock more usable capacity. This change was introduced in the e-tron SUV during the production run, while in the e-tron Sportback, which entered production later, it was available from the beginning.

In 2022, it was announced that the vehicle will be renamed. It is now known as the Audi Q8 e-tron Sportback.

The Audi A3 e-tron is an all-electric car variant of the Audi A3 production model. The A3 e-tron is powered by an electric motor under the hood which sends power from the rear- and mid-mounted battery packs to the front wheels. The 26.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack provides an optimal range of around {{cvt|92|mi|disp=flip}}, but between {{cvt|70|and|75|mi|disp=flip}} in real driving conditions. Top speed is limited to {{cvt|89|mph|disp=flip}}.{{cite news|url=http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/13/driving-the-audi-a3-e-tron/?ref=automobiles|title=Driving the Audi A3 E-tron|author=Lawrence Ulrich|work=The New York Times|date=2012-06-13|access-date=2012-06-17}}
