AUDI E-TRON GT 1,000 MILE REVIEW - WHAT I LIKE AND DON'T LIKE (VS TESLA MODEL S AND PORSCHE TAYCAN)

EV Channels Review

The reviewer, after nearly 1,000 miles with the Audi E-Tron GT, has decided to sell the car, despite generally loving it. Key positives include its striking looks, which the reviewer prefers over the Porsche Taycan, and exceptional ride comfort, comparable to luxury saloons thanks to the air suspension. The interior is praised for its excellent, highly adjustable heated and ventilated seats, and the separate, intuitive climate controls are highlighted as superior to the Taycan's system. Charging speeds are described as phenomenal, capable of adding significant range in very short times. Practicality is also noted, with comfortable rear seats and a ski hatch. However, the reviewer cites several drawbacks: the high price and the resulting preciousness about parking, the boot not being a hatchback (making it less practical than a Tesla Model S for bulky items), awkward placement of charge ports, a less appealing front grille, a transmission tunnel hindering rear-seat space, and a fiddly center console storage area. The Audi interface is deemed functional but not brilliant, and the reviewer notes the car's low front overhang as a potential damage risk. While the E-Tron GT offers a comfortable and stylish experience, its practicality and certain design elements lead to the decision to part with it.
