Audi e-tron GT

(2021 - present)

    Summary


    The Audi e-tron GT is a four-door all-electric sports saloon that is built on the same platform as the highly-acclaimed Porsche Taycan.

    Mirroring the powertrain of the Taycan, the e-tron GT has a 93kWh battery mated to two electric motors, the entry-level trim producing 493hp. However, Audi has opted for a softer suspension setup that Porsche, giving the Audi e-tron GT a more comfortable driving experience when compared to the Taycan.

    Arriving in the UK in Spring 2021, the e-tron GT has had a very positive reception from the UK media, reviewers being particularly enthused by the saloon’s instantaneous and near-silent acceleration. Reviewers have also praised the e-tron GT’s refined interior trim and excellent ride comfort, with The Sunday Times concluding that the Audi is “not as raw as the Taycan, and all the better for it.”

    Media outlets were also impressed by the e-tron GT’s ultra rapid charging ability, but the saloon’s battery range has collected some criticism, as Evo noted: “The entry level e-tron GT is another great grand tourer but question marks remain over touring range ability.”

    Audi claims that the e-tron GT has a maximum battery range of just under 300 miles, but the Tesla Model S offers drivers 25 miles more range, and that has been on UK roads since 2014.

    As of August 2023, the Audi e-tron GT holds an impressive Expert Rating of 82%, based on 18 reviews published by the UK media. Keep in mind that this is a new model, so the rating score may change over time as more media outlets drive all the different versions of the car on longer tests over local roads.

    We are building a separate Expert Rating page for the highest-spec RS e-tron GT, which is the most powerful Audi production car ever made, coming soon.
