Updated Audi e-tron GT: pricing, specification and range

Audi has applied some major technical updates to its flagship electric e-tron GT model, as part of a facelift.

Pricing for the car now starts at £107,730.

As a fully electric model, all variant of the e-tron GT attract a 2% benefit-in-kind (BiK) tax rate for company car drivers.

The four-door coupe is available in three different models, which all offer a substantial power and and range increase.

Battery capacity has increased to 97kWh (useable), enabling a range of up to 374 miles. Audi says the new unit is also lighter than the battery previously used.

Charging speeds have also been boosted. The e-tron GT now supports 320kW charging and, more crucially, can sustain higher charging speeds for longer. At a suitable chariging point, 174 miles of range can be added in 10 minutes.

As part of a revised line-up, the entry-level model is now known as the S e-tron GT. Power output is rated at 680PS from the car's two electric motors, allowing a 0-62mph acceleration time of 3.4 seconds. It offers the longest range, at 374 miles. Pricing starts at £107,730.

The RS e-tron GT is available from £126,330. It has a power output of 856PS and a 0-62mph sprint time of 2.8 seconds. It has a range of 365 miles.

A new range topping RS e-tron GT Performance model produces 925PS and has a 364-mile range. In this version the 0-62mph time falls to just 2.5 seconds. Pricing starts at £142,830.

All variants of the e-tron GT now use air suspension. A more advanced active suspension system is fitted to range-topping Vorsprung models. There is also a four-wheel steering system.

Styling changes have been kept to a minimum, retaining the car's distinctive looks. On the inside there's a new steering wheel and enhancements have been made to the car's virtual cockpit display.

Standard equipment on the S e-tron GT includes adaptive cruise control, sports seats with 14-way electric adjustment and illuminated logos, a heated steering wheel, Bang & Olufsen Premium 3D Sound System, a head-up display, and several new driver assistance features.

The equipment list for the RS e-tron GT includes Nappa leather upholstery, a seat massage function, and night vision assistant. 

As an optional additional upgrade, a technically advanced panoramic glass roof is available. Unlike previous materials, the panoramic roof’s smart glass minimises direct sunlight and turns opaque at the touch of a button. This is accomplished through so-called polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) technology, which can change from transparent to opaque.

The new Audi e-tron GT models are avalable to order now with first deliveries due in late summer.
