Exterior Design
Like the Taycan, the Audi e-tron GT is based on the same J1 platform as the Porsche Taycan. That means it shares similarities with its brother from another mother but is more focused on comfort and its Grand Touring ability, hence the ‘GT’ name.
Interior Design
When first stepping inside the cabin of the Audi e-tron GT, one might be a little surprised. The quality of some of the materials doesn’t feel quite fitting for the price point, but there are optional packages available to enhance the interior. The cabin is spacious and comfortable, with Audi’s superb virtual cockpit and a user-friendly infotainment system.
Driving Experience
The Audi e-tron GT offers a thrilling driving experience with its powerful electric motors. It accelerates quickly and handles corners with precision. The adaptive air suspension provides a comfortable and smooth ride, making it a joy to drive on any road. The only downside is its efficiency, which is slightly lower compared to other EVs on the market.
Verdict
The Audi e-tron GT is a high-end sedan that perfectly balances comfort and performance. It offers a luxurious and spacious interior, a smooth and exhilarating driving experience, and a stunning exterior design. While it may not be the most efficient EV, it is undoubtedly one of the best high-end sedans on the market.
