NEW AUDI E-TRON GT REVIEW – TOP SPEED & 0-60MPH TEST

EV Channels Review

The Audi e-tron GT receives a subtle yet significant update, aiming to solidify its position as a top-tier performance electric car. While exterior styling changes are minimal, the interior sees minor enhancements like new trim options and a revised steering wheel. The panoramic roof with switchable transparency is a notable addition. Practicality remains a mixed bag; rear seat space is surprisingly generous, but the saloon body style limits boot access for larger items, a point where it falls short compared to the estate version of its competitor, the Porsche Taycan. Charging speeds have improved, now capable of up to 320 kW, allowing for a 10-80% charge in as little as 18 minutes under ideal conditions. Real-world range is respectable, with the S model capable of over 300 miles. Driving dynamics are a strong suit, offering a smooth, composed ride and agile handling despite the car's weight. The reviewer highlights the car's stability at high speeds on the Autobahn. Performance is blistering across all trims, with the RS performance model achieving 0-60 mph in a mere 2.4 seconds. However, the e-tron GT's primary drawback remains its high price point, starting significantly higher than the Taycan, though it offers more standard equipment. The reviewer concludes that while it may not be a revolution, the updated e-tron GT is a compelling, albeit expensive, high-performance electric vehicle, especially for company car drivers benefiting from low benefit-in-kind tax.
