It’s been nearly a year since Audi gave its electrical sedan a mid-cycle update. Visually identifying the base design is no simple job, as Audi picked to keep the layout basically unmodified. In Audi’s defense, the aesthetic weight includes a 165-lb (75-kg) chauffeur.
E-Tron GT Battery and Performance
The 97-kWh battery (web capability) provides up to 386.5 miles (622 kilometers) of variety under the WLTP cycle. Also in its most cost effective form, the E-Tron GT supports ultra-fast 320-kW billing.
Base vs S Model: Trade-offs
So, what do you lose by selecting the entry-level version? It’s 0.6 seconds slower in the sprint and sacrifices 93 horse power compared to the S. On the benefit, it gains nearly 12 miles (20 kilometers) of range, many thanks to the dialed-down electrical motors and a little reduced weight.
E-Tron GT Pricing and Competition
The base E-Tron GT in Germany begins at EUR108,900, undercutting the S by a substantial EUR17,100. Remarkably, Porsche’s Taycan 4 is still slightly less expensive at EUR107,300, and the single-motor, rear-wheel-drive Taycan starts at an even reduced EUR102,600.
Features of the Base E-Tron GT
In spite of being the base trim, this E-Tron GT still includes Quattro four-wheel drive, with one electrical motor on each axle. Audi quotes a combined result of 496 horse power or 577 hp with launch control. That suffices EV muscle to thrust the auto from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a brisk 4 seconds level. Contrasted to the sportier S design, which shares the battery pack, the new base version is about 66.1 pounds (30 kilograms) lighter. Still, it pointers the scales at a hefty 5,200 pounds (2,359 kg). In Audi’s defense, the aesthetic weight consists of a 165-lb (75-kg) chauffeur.
It’s been nearly a year because Audi provided its electrical sedan a mid-cycle update. Ingolstadt at first focused on the warmer S and RS versions, and now an entry-level variation has actually joined the lineup. Visually identifying the base design is no very easy task, as Audi selected to maintain the layout essentially unchanged. One of the most obvious tweaks consist of even more black accents in advance and the lack of S/RS badging at the rear.
Rates for the USA hasn’t been announced yet, however with the S version retailing from $126,795 (consisting of destination), the base E-Tron GT is still anticipated to carry a six-figure price tag. For reference, a 2026 Taycan 4 with no options sets you back $106,450, or you can stay with the conventional rear-wheel-drive model and pay Porsche $102,550.
