Video Summary
The reviewer's findings on the Audi e-tron GT are as follows:The launch control is impressive. The car is intense and surprised the reviewer.
The accelerator is progressive, and it is almost too soft in the first part of its course. Once on a smoother road, the car’s acceleration becomes noticeable. The car does 0 to 100km/h in 3.4 seconds, which is the slowest in the range.
The electronics and rear motor are new, resulting in higher power output. The e-tron GT S starts at 500 kW, while the RS reaches 630 kW, and the RS Performance reaches 680 kW, translating to 925 hp and 1027 Newton-meters of torque for the Performance, which does 0-100 in 2.5 seconds.
The car drives well, with a precise steering. The steering wheel, covered in Alcantara with a not-too-thick crown, is very pleasant. Rigidity can be adjusted according to different modes; it is more flexible at low speed and more rigid at normal speeds. The steering command is great and accurate. Even in tight turns, it feels really good.
The interior has many luxury details.
Brake regeneration on the new e-tron GT reaches 400 kW, which corresponds to almost half a g in deceleration. A good integration between regenerative and mechanical braking was achieved. The brake pedal gives a firm, good response. There is also a lot of energy recuperation.
Charging reaches up to 320 kW. Now improved preconditioning and charging power for short stops for more charging in larger temperature windows and charge levels (10% to 80% in 18 min). The battery has 105 kWh capacity and 97 net with U-flow cooling, but Audi shows the power rate during the charging.
The panoramic sunroof has electrochromatic glass technology and enables the regulation of the window's shading.
The presenter did not like the positioning of the space for putting the cellular phone, because it's a closed space, and the USB-C ports are also in that space.
There were no major revolutions in terms of exterior design, but the version of the model on test was the RS Performance, with carbon details that made for a beautiful look. Active suspensions and steering wheels work in unison giving amazing agility.
