Used 2023 Audi e-tron SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Audi e-tron is an all-electric midsize SUV sold in a number of trim levels. The standard e-tron is all-wheel-drive and is powered by two electric motors (one at the front, one at the back). Maximum output is 355 horsepower and 414 lb-ft of torque, with a boost to 402 horsepower and 490 lb-ft for up to 8 seconds when the transmission is in Sport mode. This e-tron is available in Premium, Premium Plus and Chronos trim levels. (The Audi e-tron GT is reviewed separately on Edmunds.) Feature highlights for the regular e-tron include:

The Premium's advanced driver aids include:

  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

For the Premium, you can add:

  • Convenience Plus package
    • Black-painted roof rails
    • Adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
    • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
    • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the e-tron and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

e-tron Premium Plus
The midtier Premium Plus adds:

  • Convenience package (minus the black-painted exterior trim)
  • Additional charging port on right side of SUV
  • Matrix-design headlights
  • Configurable ambient lighting
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system
  • Wireless phone charging and an onboard signal booster
  • Traffic sign recognition (alerts the driver to new road signs, including speed limits and stop signs)

The Premium Plus is also available with a pair of packages:

  • Black Optic package
    • 21-inch black-painted wheels
    • Black-painted exterior styling elements
    • Orange brake calipers

e-tron Chronos
The Chronos trim is the top-spec e-tron you can buy. Its features include:

  • Black Optic package
  • Upgraded headlights
  • Dual-pane acoustic glass for a quieter cabin
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Extended leather on dashboard, console and armrests
  • Massaging front seats
  • Rear window sunshades
  • Soft-close doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
  • Intersection assist (warns you of cross traffic in an upcoming intersection)
  • Rear side airbags with illuminated seat-belt buckles

The towing package is available on all models, but Audi notes that specifying this option may result in production delays. It includes:

  • Tow hitch
  • Seven-pin tow connector
  • 4,000-pound towing capacity

Which e-tron trim does Edmunds recommend?

A case can be made for any e-tron trim, but most buyers would be happy with the base Premium trim. It might lack the Bang & Olufsen stereo and the head-up display of other trims, but it's a well-rounded package and the most affordable e-tron on sale.
