NEW E-TRON GT QUATTRO EV REVIEW; AUDI'S ANSWER TO THE TAYCAN AND TESLA S PLAID

EV Channels Review

The Audi e-Tron GT Quattro is presented as a visually stunning and dynamically capable electric sedan, aiming to rival the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S Plaid. The reviewer praises its aggressive styling, particularly the pronounced haunches and concave bonnet, likening its side profile to the Fisker Karma and calling it one of Audi's best-looking cars. While the driving dynamics are commended, with excellent grip and stability even on wet roundabouts, the reviewer notes the optional adaptive air suspension and the shared J1 platform with the Taycan. The interior is described as conventional Audi quality, with a notable leather-free option using sustainable materials. However, the car is criticized for its limited practicality, being more of a four-seater with a shallow boot, and its real-world range is significantly lower than its predicted WLTP figure, especially when driven enthusiastically. The reviewer highlights Tesla's continued advantage in range and charging infrastructure as a major hurdle for non-Tesla EVs like the e-Tron GT, despite the Audi's impressive performance and design.
