JAKARTA Audi seems to have found a good recipe to win the hearts of electric car consumers in the world's largest market. The strategic collaboration between Audi and Chinese auto giant SAIC has finally yielded sweet results through the recent launch of Audi E5 Sportback.
The result was astonishing in just the first 30 minutes of sales, the electric fastback car produced in Anting, Shanghai immediately recorded 10,153 orders. An impressive figure amid the fierce competition of the electric car market in China.
With the banderol starting from 235,900 yuan (around Rp545 million), E5 Sportback is not just adding to its choice, but comes as a serious challenger for the Tesla Model 3, Nio ET5T, to the Zeekr 007 GT.

Tempting Performance, Futuristic Design
Reporting from CarNewsChina, Wednesday, September 17, Audi E5 Sportback offers a combination of cutting-edge technology and aerodynamic design. There are four variants available, including RWD and AWD options. The dual-powered versions of up to 579 kW can shoot up from 0100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. The battery with a maximum capacity of 100 kWh gives a distance of up to 773 km (CLTC standard), the numbers that make it very competitive.
In terms of appearance, the fastback profile with air drag coefficients of only 0.252 Cd makes this car look aggressive as well as efficient. Another highlight is on futuristic lighting with 942 LEDs and nearly 2,000 triangular elements creating dynamic light animations.
Meanwhile, the E5 Sportback interior is the center of attention with a 59-inch display that stretches, featuring the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip-based interface. The system supports AI-based voice assistants, Apple CarPlay connectivity, and Huawei HiCar, ensuring driving experience remains connected and sophisticated.
This success is a signal that Audi's strategy in China is quite successful. By combining German technology, SAIC production efficiency, and competitive prices, E5 Sportback is ready to erode the dominance of the old players.
It is interesting to wait, will this success bring Audi E5 Sportback to the Southeast Asian market, including Indonesia?
