2024 Audi RS e-tron GT

The RS e-tron GT is the high-performance version of the e-tron GT, which is currently Audi's only electric sedan. Upgraded brakes, an enhanced all-wheel-drive system, high-performance summer tires, and upward of 100 more horsepower are some of the upgrades the RS model provides. It's about the size of the A6, but its rear seats and trunk aren't as accommodating. However, the RS e-tron GT boasts a striking design that Audi's non-electric sedans can't match. The RS e-tron GT rides on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, and like the Taycan, it does a superb job of blending comfort with impressive performance.

The RS e-tron GT's direct rival is its corporate cousin, the Porsche Taycan, and more specifically the Taycan Turbo model, which offers similar power but delivers superior handling and a more entertaining driving experience. If you prefer straight-line performance over handling, consider the more affordable Tesla Model S Plaid. It hit 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds when we tested it. Other rivals to consider are the all-new BMW i5 M60, the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQE sedan and the Lucid Air Grand Touring. Check out the Edmunds Expert Rating below for our test team's thorough review of the RS e-tron GT.

The EPA-estimated driving range for the RS e-tron GT increased slightly from 232 miles to 249 miles for 2024. But when we put the electric sedan through the Edmunds EV Range Test, it drove 285 miles, which is respectable for a high-performance car. But road comfort is where the RS e-tron GT shines. The adaptive suspension smooths out rough roads, and wind and road noise is kept to a minimum. The front seats provide plenty of comfort, but the same can't be said about the tight rear seats. On the handling front, you'll likely enjoy the RS e-tron GT's sharp and confident driving dynamics, but other RS models offer a more thrilling upgrade from their non-RS counterparts.
