The 2022 Audi e-tron GT is an electric sport sedan that is similar in size to the Audi A7 and Porsche Panamera. The e-tron name has historically been used by Audi to differentiate electrified vehicles from their conventionally powered siblings. The most recent example is the company's first fully electric vehicle — the e-tron SUV — which debuted in 2019.

2022 Audi e-tron GT Review

- Quick acceleration
- Comfortable ride
- Sharp-looking and well-appointed interior
- Not as entertaining to drive as the related Porsche Taycan
- Relatively small cargo area and rear seating
- Poor rearward visibility
- All-new electric performance sedan
- Standard all-wheel drive
- About 270 miles of Edmunds-tested range
- Kicks off the first e-tron GT generation introduced for the 2022 model year
The e-tron name has historically been used by Audi to differentiate electrified vehicles from their conventionally powered siblings. The company's first fully electric vehicle — the e-tron SUV — debuted in 2019. Now we have the 2022 Audi e-tron GT, which is the brand's all-new electric luxury sport sedan. Unlike the e-tron, the e-tron GT prioritizes performance and driving dynamics over ultimate utility.
The e-tron GT shares its basic design with the Porsche Taycan and comes standard with a 93-kWh battery pack, which is otherwise an optional upgrade for the Taycan. With it, the EPA estimates that the e-tron GT has a range of 238 miles on a full charge. That's underwhelming, but know that in our own real-world range test the GT managed a much more respectable 273 miles. And with its dual-motor setup capable of producing up to 522 horsepower, the e-tron GT is properly quick.
The 2022 Audi e-tron GT sedan is a stylish and sporty counterpoint to the already praiseworthy e-tron SUV, but it does face off against some compelling alternatives. The Porsche Taycan offers a sharper and more entertaining driving experience, for example, and the all-new Lucid Air has the potential to set new records for range and performance. There's also Mercedes-Benz's new EQS electric sedan to consider. Which luxury EV will be best for you? Read our test team's Expert Rating on the e-tron GT to help you decide.
Performance
More concerning than the slight difference in test numbers is how the e-tron drives. Compared to the Taycan, it doesn't offer the same level of communication with the driver. The steering relays a little less feedback, and the car doesn't quite pivot and change directions as willingly as the Porsche. Also, the brake pedal feels too soft during aggressive braking, which diminishes your confidence when you're pushing the e-tron's dynamic limits.
High-performance driving aside, the GT is an easy car to drive. Unfortunately, just like the Porsche, the e-tron GT doesn't provide enough regenerative braking to solely drive using the accelerator pedal. Some cars like Tesla allow you to slow to a stop by just lifting off the accelerator, but the e-tron GT will almost always require you to press on the brakes at some point. We're hoping this changes down the road.
Comfort
The front seats are about as good as it gets, with highly supportive and adjustable sport buckets that include heating, cooling and massaging functions. The rear seats are mostly unremarkable, and the car's high floor relative to the rear seats means that long-legged individuals won't be very comfortable. On the upside, the e-tron GT's climate controls are easy to use, and the system delivers ample cooling to keep the cabin at your desired temperature.

in Ashburn, VA

Interior
There are some downsides to the GT here, and they include a cabin that's not the easiest to climb in and out of, considering this is a relatively sizable luxury sedan, and rear seat space is feels a bit too cozy even for the average size passenger. And though the driving position is excellent, visibility out of the rear window is almost laughably bad. It's a good thing the optional surround-view cameras have excellent picture quality.
Technology
Less impressive are the e-tron GT's driver aids. The blind-spot warning system seemed to alert us to things that didn't seem concerning, and the lane departure system provided weak guidance when we purposely let the car drift to the sides of the lane.
Storage
The e-tron's rear seats can fold down flat, so it's not all bad news, and there's a useful pass-through for larger items. Got small children to transport? The child safety seat anchor points are pretty easy to access, but the small rear door openings and limited rear legroom make the e-tron a suboptimal choice for kid duty.
Range and Efficiency
Value
Warranty coverage and roadside assistance for e-tron GT are standard for the luxury class. But an onboard charger and 240-volt charge cord, assuming you have a simple matching socket installed, can save you from purchasing an entire home charging station.
Wildcard
Audi typically knocks it out of the park when it comes to style, and the e-tron GT is a pretty striking sedan. Most people don't even realize it's an EV, which is a plus in our book. We're a little disappointed that the GT doesn't quite back up its street stance with similarly stunning performance, and we're hoping Audi eventually offers a more useful Sportback body style like the Audi RS 7.
Which e-tron GT does Edmunds recommend?
Audi e-tron GT models
The 2022 Audi e-tron GT is available in two trim levels: Premium Plus and Prestige. There's also the RS, which we review separately on Edmunds. The Premium Plus and Prestige use an electric motor at each axle (giving it standard all-wheel drive) powered by a 93-kWh battery pack.

- EPA Battery & Range
- EPA KWh/100 mi.This value tells you how much energy in kilowatt-hours a vehicle would use to travel 100 miles. Unlike mpg, however, where a larger number is better (for example, a vehicle that gets 30 mpg is better than one that gets 20 mpg), a smaller number is better in kWh/100 miles because you are using less battery energy per mile.: 41
- Time To Charge Battery (At 240V)This can be tough to pin down, but we assume for simplicity that the 240V power source will enable the vehicle's onboard charger to operate at full capacity, and that the battery is fully depleted and will be recharged to 100%. Given those assumptions, the value provided is simply the battery's capacity divided by the onboard charger's power rating. For example, a battery rated at 100 kWh will need 12.5 hours to recharge fully using an 8.0-kW charger.: 10.0 hr.
- EPA Electricity RangeThis value is the estimated number of miles that a vehicle can travel in combined city and highway driving (using a mix of 55% highway and 45% city driving) before needing to be recharged, according to the EPA's testing methodology.: 238 mi.

Audi e-tron GT vs. the competition

2022 Audi e-tron GT

2021 Porsche Taycan
Audi e-tron GT vs. Porsche Taycan
The e-tron GT and Porsche Taycan share a basic platform, but the pair look and feel like wholly separate vehicles. We prefer the Audi's seats and interior, but the Taycan offers a sportier driving experience. It's also available as a wagon that has more cargo space and rear headroom.
Audi e-tron GT vs. Tesla Model S
The Model S is the car that made EVs cool and paved the way for likes of the e-tron GT. The Tesla is loaded with in-car tech and driver aids, though we have questions about their functionality. The Model S offers more range than the e-tron GT, even if it has fallen short of its EPA estimates in Edmunds' testing.
Audi e-tron GT vs. Mercedes-Benz EQS
The EQS topped Edmunds' real-world range leaderboard after its first outing, going farther on a charge than any other EV. The exterior design can look a bit awkward, but the interior is handsome and well appointed, with some of the best in-car tech and driver aids you'll find today. It's not nearly as quick or as sporty, but it's well worth a look if you're more interested in comfort over performance.
2022 Audi e-tron GT First Impressions
The 2022 Audi e-tron GT is offered in two flavors: the base e-tron GT Quattro and the RS e-tron GT. Both make use of a series of lithium-ion batteries in the floor of the vehicle with a combined capacity of 85 kilowatt-hours. That power is sent to two electric motors: one at the front axle and another at the rear. The rear motor is also equipped with a two-speed transmission, with the first gear used for aggressive acceleration.
Power output figures are converted from European standards and may vary slightly in the final U.S.-bound vehicles. The base e-tron GT Quattro is rated at 469 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque in typical driving conditions. The e-tron typically drives in second gear, but selecting the launch control mode forces the transmission to start in first. Doing so also temporarily boosts output to 522 hp and 472 lb-ft. Pin the accelerator in launch control mode, and Audi says the e-tron GT will hit 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds on its way to a 152-mph top speed.
The even more potent RS e-tron GT increases output to 590 hp and 612 lb-ft, with a similar launch mode that bumps power to 637 hp. That should get the RS from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds with a 155-mph top speed.
In addition to the impressive power, overall performance is enhanced with plenty of mechanical features. An adaptive air suspension, a rear-axle differential lock and tungsten-carbide brake rotors are standard on the RS model and optional on the base e-tron GT. All-wheel steering and carbon-ceramic brake rotors are options for both models.
Initial estimates give the base e-tron GT a cruising range of 238 miles and the RS 232 miles, but these figures have not yet been confirmed by the EPA. The e-tron GT employs several aerodynamic tricks to achieve its lofty range targets, including a flat underbody and active grille shutters that can close for increased efficiency or open to cool the brakes under hard use. Even the wheels themselves feature additional blades to reduce turbulence. The result is a very slippery drag coefficient of 0.24 — a Toyota Prius or Tesla Model S yields a comparable figure.
Charging the e-tron GT is made easier with a charge port on both sides of the car. The passenger-side port also adds DC fast-charging capabilities up to 270 kW. At this maximum rate, up to 62 miles of range can be replenished in five minutes and should be able to charge from 5% of battery capacity to 80% in only 23 minutes under ideal conditions.
Rather than follow the solitary big touchscreen design from Tesla and Ford, the e-tron GT sticks with a more traditional layout, and for that, we're thankful. There are enough physical buttons to allow for quick adjustments without having to take your eyes off the road to swipe through on-screen menus. The touchscreen is also canted toward the driver for easier operation.
We haven't yet had the opportunity to examine the interior in person, but Audi assures us that the rear seats can accommodate adult passengers thanks to a low seating position and space for your feet under the front seats.
In keeping with the e-tron's eco-friendly theme, many of the interior materials are derived from recycled textiles and plastic bottles. These include the upholstery fabric, interior trim elements and the headliner.
Audi has historically been known for its smart use of technology, and the e-tron GT carries on this tradition. Unlike some emerging rivals, however, Audi takes a more pragmatic approach: It enhances a familiar interface rather than rewrite the book.
All of the typical advanced safety features (forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control) are standard or available. Other features include a head-up display, remote park assist, night vision and driver assistants that are found in many Audi vehicles and competitors.
To help drivers on long trips, a route planner integrated into the navigation system will suggest spots to recharge the battery. It will also precondition the battery temperature for optimal charge efficiency to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.
The 2022 Audi e-tron GT sedan is a stylish and sporty counterpoint to the already praiseworthy e-tron SUV. In terms of price and execution, it's a strong competitor to the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S. The e-tron GT's more conventional infotainment interface might even give it an edge over these rivals, but we won't know until we test one for ourselves. Keep checking back here for all the latest updates.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Audi e-tron GT?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
