What is it?
The e-tron GT is Audi's flagship electric grand tourer, sharing its J1 800V platform with the Porsche Taycan. The 2024 facelift was the most substantial update in the car's life: a new 97 kWh net battery, 320 kW DC peak charging, revised motors, retuned air suspension, and the new top-rung Performance variant. Three Australian variants: S, RS and RS Performance.
The lineup runs from S e-tron GT at $192,500 plus on-roads, through to RS e-tron GT Performance at $269,500 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.
Interior and Technology
800V architecture with 320 kW DC peak (10 to 80 in around 18 minutes), 97 kWh net battery delivering 609 km WLTP on the S, and the new RS Performance is Audi's most powerful production model ever at 680 kW.
RS Performance at $269,500 plus on-roads overlaps Porsche Taycan Turbo S pricing. 405 L boot and low rear seat are tight for taller adults on long trips.
