AUDI RS E-TRON GT 2021 IN-DEPTH REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Audi RS e-tron GT is presented as a visually stunning and luxurious electric sedan, aiming to compete with rivals like the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S. The reviewer praises its exceptional exterior and interior design, high-quality materials, and comfortable ride, particularly noting the effective air suspension that smooths out bumps. The performance is highlighted, with the car accelerating impressively quickly. However, the review points out several drawbacks. The real-world range achieved was significantly lower than Audi's claims (196 miles vs. 300 miles claimed), which is a major concern for an electric vehicle. Practicality is also questioned, with a relatively small boot and a cramped middle rear seat. Annoyances include the lack of an 'RS' button on the steering wheel, a protruding dash element that can be inconvenient, and the artificial engine sounds. Despite its strengths in design and driving dynamics, the limited range and some practical shortcomings prevent it from being a top recommendation, though it's still considered a car worth shortlisting.
