2022 AUDI E-TRON GT QUATTRO - 522HP ELECTRIC EXECUTIVE SPORT SEDAN

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Audi e-tron GT quattro is presented as a compelling alternative to the Tesla Model S, offering a more traditional luxury car experience with familiar Audi build quality and ergonomics. The reviewer highlights its muscular design, impressive handling dynamics, and the tactile advantage of physical buttons for climate and infotainment controls, a stark contrast to Tesla's screen-centric approach. While acknowledging the e-tron GT's slightly lower range (estimated 235-240 miles) compared to its Tesla counterparts and a less aggressive acceleration out of the base quattro model (469 hp, overboosting to 520 hp), the reviewer praises its comfortable ride, excellent insulation, and the sophisticated feel of its chassis and suspension. The car's practicality is noted with a usable trunk and folding rear seats. The reviewer also commends Audi's approach to regenerative braking, which feels more natural than one-pedal driving, and the robust 800-volt charging system capable of rapid charging. Ultimately, the e-tron GT is positioned as a driver's EV, prioritizing dynamic handling and a refined driving experience over outright range or raw acceleration, making it a strong contender for those seeking a familiar yet advanced electric vehicle.
