2024 Audi e-tron GT

These two vehicles might share an electric platform, but they diverge quickly from there and each vehicle has its own styling and driving characteristics. The e-tron GT is no performance slouch, but the Taycan feels more nimble and precise. That makes the Porsche more fun to drive when the roads get twisty. Both vehicles are still quite comfortable and have elegant, high-quality interiors, with tight rear seats. Porsche also offers the Taycan offers some wagon-esque body styles for those who want to venture beyond the sedan.

These two vehicles have very different missions, but the all-wheel-drive versions of both electric sedans start around the same price. The EQS tries to do an S-Class facsimile, prioritizing comfort and technology, while the e-tron GT is the more stylish and performance-oriented of the pair. The EQS offers much greater range and efficiency than the Audi, but it isn't nearly as fun to drive around. For technology, the edge goes to the EQS and its jaw-dropping optional Hyperscreen that takes over most of the dashboard.

The Lucid Air is a lot more expensive if you go for the Grand Touring model (as we did for our long-term fleet), but there's also a Touring model that is priced close to the e-tron GT. The Lucid offers a lot more power and driving range than the e-tron GT. It also offers a much larger back seat and superior cargo room with its wide trunk opening and a decent-size frunk. But the Audi's ride quality is superior and it's more fun to pilot on the whole, and you also skip the Air's up-and-down interior quality and buggy (though improving) multimedia experience.
