2021 Audi TT
2021 Audi TT Review
- Sporty handling instills confidence in any situation
- Standard all-wheel drive gives it all-weather capability
- Performance doesn't sacrifice fuel economy
- Comically small rear seat in the coupe
- Limited cargo capacity hurts practicality
- Last year's Technology package is now standard, as is full leather seating
- Part of the third Audi TT generation introduced for 2016
You've got plenty of choices if you want a flashy sports car with wild styling and a boisterous exhaust note. Even when they're painted gray, these cars might as well be Arrest-Me Red. But what about something more subtle? That's where the 2021 Audi TT comes in. Its fastback shape is fairly unassuming, but underneath the restrained sheetmetal is a capable sport coupe or convertible with lively handling and weather-beating all-wheel drive.
It's true that this current Audi TT generation is getting on in years — it was last redesigned for 2016 — but it still holds up well compared to rivals such as the BMW Z4, Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxster, and Toyota GR Supra. Audi fits the TT with a pleasing number of standard features for the price too. It's worth checking out if you're shopping for a well-rounded luxury sport coupe or convertible.
Which TT does Edmunds recommend?
Audi TT models
The 2021 Audi TT is a small sports car available as either a four-seat coupe or a two-seat convertible (called the Roadster). Regardless of body style, the TT is sold in a single well-equipped trim level. The only powertrain is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system are both standard. If the TT's power output doesn't rev your engine, you can also check out the 288-hp TTS or 394-hp TT RS. Both are reviewed separately.

Audi TT vs. the competition
2021 Audi TT
2021 Porsche 718 Cayman
Audi TT vs. Porsche 718 Cayman
There's no denying the Porsche 718 Cayman is quick — the base engine needs just 4.3 seconds for the 0-60 mph sprint, which is more than a second quicker than the TT. But the TT gives you a little more practicality from its rear seating and four-season-friendly all-wheel drive. It's less expensive than the Cayman too.
Audi TT vs. Toyota GR Supra
It might seem like an unusual rival to a German luxury coupe, but the Toyota GR Supra has the performance to challenge Audi's TT. In fact, the six-cylinder Supra will even run toe-to-toe with the 718 Cayman. The Supra's BMW-sourced interior means you're dealing with luxury-grade cabin materials too. If you want the 718 Cayman's handling abilities but have a TT budget, the Supra will get you there.
Audi TT vs. Jaguar F-Type
The Jaguar F-Type can still turn heads like no other car in this price range, but there's no denying this two-seater is starting to show its age. This is especially apparent with respect to the F-Type's technology offerings, which include an unintuitive infotainment interface and mediocre audio systems. The TT comes across as the more sophisticated pick here.
