Audi e-Tron — Import to Australia
The Audi e-Tron is Audi’s first mass-production electric SUV, pairing dual electric motors and quattro all-wheel drive with a practical five-seat body. It offers strong low-end torque, near-silent running, and the kind of usable range and boot space that make it a genuine daily-driver EV rather than a compact city runabout. It is one of the vehicles available through our car import service.
Key Features
Full Electric Powertrain: dual electric motors and quattro all-wheel drive, offering strong low-end torque and near-silent running.
Two Power Tiers: available as the e-tron 50 quattro (230kW) and e-tron 55 quattro (300kW), plus a higher-output S quattro variant with 370kW.
Practical SUV Body: five-seat SUV layout with a 660L boot, similar in size to a Q5, making it a genuinely usable family EV.
Advanced Driver Assistance: adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and a virtual cockpit digital instrument display across the range.
Why Import the Audi e-Tron from Japan?
Imported examples of the Audi e-Tron give Australian buyers access to a well-equipped, full-size electric SUV, often at a lower cost than the equivalent new model, thanks to sourcing from auction with documented service histories.
Import Eligibility
The Audi e-Tron is eligible for import to Australia under the Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicle Scheme (SEVS), on the basis that it was never offered for sale as a new vehicle in Australia. Import eligibility is build-specific, contact our team to confirm the exact model code and build year of the vehicle you are interested in before purchasing. You can also check our approved import vehicle list for current eligibility.
Import and Compliance Process
Importing an Audi e-Tron from Japan to Australia involves the following steps:
- Eligibility check, confirm the specific model and build year qualifies under SEVS.
- Vehicle Import Approval (VIA), applied for through the ROVER system before the vehicle ships. See our full VIA guide.
- Purchase and shipping, sourced from Japanese auction or dealer, shipped via RoRo or container.
- Customs and quarantine, customs duty, GST, and DAFF biosecurity inspection on arrival in Australia.
- ADR compliance and modifications, assessed and certified by our Registered Automotive Workshop (RAW) in Campbellfield.
- Registration, VicRoads registration once a RAV entry approval is granted.

Estimated Landed Cost
The total landed cost of an Audi e-Tron depends on the auction purchase price, battery condition, shipping method, exchange rate, and any ADR compliance work required. As a general guide, a used e-Tron purchased at auction in Japan for approximately ¥3,500,000–¥5,500,000 (AUD $35,000–$55,000) will typically land in Australia for AUD $50,000–$70,000 all in, including shipping, customs, GST, quarantine, compliance, and registration. See our total landed cost guide for a full breakdown, or contact our team for a detailed estimate based on your specific requirements.
