2022 AUDI RS E-TRON GT - POV DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Audi RS e-tron GT is presented as a visually stunning and dynamically impressive electric sedan, albeit with a significant price tag. The reviewer highlights its exceptional design, particularly the front end and overall silhouette, and praises the interior's high-quality materials and traditional physical controls, which contribute to a familiar and luxurious feel despite its electric powertrain. Performance is described as exhilarating, with strong acceleration and a unique, engaging sound profile that sets it apart. The adaptive air suspension is lauded for its ability to provide both a comfortable ride and capable handling in dynamic mode. However, the reviewer notes that the straight-line acceleration, while impressive, doesn't feel significantly more potent than a Tesla Model 3 Performance for the price. A key point of contention is the limited regenerative braking, with the reviewer expressing a preference for more aggressive one-pedal driving capabilities. Despite these minor criticisms, the RS e-tron GT is considered a driver's car that successfully blends performance, luxury, and a relatively normal EV experience, making it a compelling, if expensive, option.
