Until now, the sportiest version of the electric SUV with the four rings had not been seen. The 2022 Audi e-tron S Sportback Facelift has appeared in winter testing, and in some tell-tale spy photos albeit with more camouflage.
Until now, only the Audi e-tron Sportback Facelift 2022, on the roads near the headquarters of the brand with the four rings in Germany, and more recently in winter tests in Sweden. But these snapshots are not of the more conventional mechanical options of the electric SUV, but of the sportiest variant.
The Audi e-tron S Sportback Facelift 2022 is the one that appears in these spy photos, betrayed by a couple of details that justify others. The first of these, and the most notable, is the satin chrome finish of the wing mirror housings, one of the typical elements by which the sportier “S” and the more extreme “RS” versions are recognizable. The second, the optional carbon-ceramic brakes with their yellow calipers that are glimpsed through the aerodynamic alloy wheels.

A set-up that started a few months late, and which also justifies the fact that the front grille is much more covered than in other prototypes sighted and that have revealed their new finish. Instead, both the front and rear light clusters remain intact, without any modification that raises the alarm at this point. And it is that this test unit also presents a differentiating detail compared to the rest, wearing the Audi emblem calmly.
It is true that you know exactly what model It’s all about it, but manufacturers dodge the badge when they camouflage their models for a mid-life upgrade. But this unit in particular is not only being used to implement improvements, but it is also the same one that the brand itself presented a few days ago at its facilities in Laplandexplaining the role and the work they do in the famous winter tests.
A tune up of the chassis, steering and control systems, plus battery operation, electric motors and comfort equipment at low temperatures. The Audi e-tron S Sportback Facelift will be revealed in 2022, including the sporty S version, but will not present more power than 503 hp that you already offer. The German firm will lend more attention to battery lifethe quality that has made him the king of his category.
