Hey everyone! I’m loving my Audi e-tron, but I’ve noticed that smaller groceries and my charging cables tend to slide all over the trunk whenever I take a corner. I’m looking for a high-quality cargo net that fits perfectly with the e-tron’s specific floor hooks. I've looked at the OEM Audi version, but it’s a bit pricey—is it actually worth the premium, or are there third-party brands like Envelope or trunk organizers that offer a tighter fit? I really want something durable that won't lose its elasticity after a few months of use. Does anyone have a specific brand or model they’d recommend for keeping the e-tron cargo area tidy and secure?
For a clean setup in your e-tron, you can’t beat the OEM Audi Cargo Net (Part #8V58618699B9). It’s designed specifically for the anchor points, so it won’t sag or slide around.
If you’re looking for more versatility, check out the envelope-style vertical nets from brands like Trunknets. They’re great for holding groceries upright. For a complete kit, pairing a net with the Audi Collapsible Cargo Box really maximizes that flat floor space. Definitely worth the investment to stop things from sliding!
Ok so I totally feel u on the sliding groceries lol. When I first got my e-tron, my charging cables were basically flying around every time I took a turn. Honestly, I looked at the official Audi one but it's like $150?? Seriously too much imo.
I was kinda cautious about fitment since the floor hooks are specific, but I found some way cheaper options that actually work. Ngl, I was worried they'd be flimsy but they've held up great. Here's what I'd suggest looking at to save some cash:
- Envelope Style Trunk Cargo Net for Audi e-tron 2019-2023 - I got this for about $25-30 and it fits the hooks perfectly. It's super tight so things dont budge.
- Trunk-Mount Collapsible Cargo Organizer with Straps - These are like $35 and lowkey better for groceries cuz they wont crush ur bread.
Maybe make sure to check the tension before you load it up? But yeah, the third-party stuff is totally fine. gl!
Seconding the recommendation above. Honestly, the OEM price is just plain WILD when you compare the materials side-by-side. I've spent some time digging into market research for my own e-tron setup and i think you're way better off looking at high-end aftermarket stuff that actually uses military-grade webbing.
I mean, if you want that TIGHT fit without the Audi tax, look into Trunkmate Heavy Duty Floor Cargo Net for Audi e-tron or even the Powertye 15x15 Cargo Net with 6 Adjustable Hooks. Basically, the key is the hook material - cheap plastic ones snap, but the metal-core ones are amazing and actually stay put during spirited driving.
I'm still kinda new to this car, but I've already learned that the floor hooks are standard size, so you don't really NEED the official branded one to get a secure hold. Just make sure whatever you buy has high elasticity ratings so it doesnt sag after two grocery runs!! Good luck with the organization, its sooo much better once those cables stop sliding lol.

+1 to what was said earlier. Seriously, $150 for a piece of nylon mesh is basically robbery, even if it has the four rings on it. In my experience, cargo management is less about the brand and more about the tension and hook placement. Over the years, I've tried many different setups, and the OEM ones aren't always the most durable anyway—they tend to lose their snap after a hot summer.
Before you drop any cash tho, are you looking for a floor-style net to pin things down, or one of those vertical envelope ones? Also, do you usually keep your charging cables in the sub-trunk or just out in the main area? I've found that some "universal" nets actually fit the e-tron floor hooks better than the expensive Audi ones, but you gotta check the dimensions first so it's not too loose. I'd lowkey recommend a heavy-duty organizer with velcro on the bottom instead, but it depends on your floor mat material. Honestly, just gotta be cautious about the clips scratching the plastic trim!
Honestly, I'm super new to the e-tron life, but I've already learned one big lesson: WATCH OUT for cheap nets that don't hook in tight! I almost tripped over a loose one while unloading... literally so dangerous if it snaps back. Even though I love saving money, I'd say whatever you get, make sure it's actually rated for those specific floor hooks so nothing slides and becomes a projectile if you ever have to slam the brakes! Safety first, right? lol
