Great Review - many thanks. For an BEV, I think I'd much prefer an e-Golf - I know they're no longer available! This e-tron GT/Taycan is just so expensive, and is bought by rich people as a second car, or for a business tax-break. And of course a Tesla has a far superior charging infrastructure if you want to go on a proper BEV road trip... Best wishes to you Thomas.

[@michaelschneider-]

@@sgtc4538 +1.. Points are well taken. .. Tesla's model offerings have expanded nicely down market and then there is the Nissan Leaf model range which is evolving,, getting better and better. . The Leaf is a "here now" urban electric. .. Just wait till charging stations are in abundance such as a city Imbuss ... Cheers,

[@davidecardinali9998]

Transparency note : Since the manufacturers provided the car , we have to say its good , even if doesnt have the milage of a Tesla ... it doesnt have autopilot ... its extremely slow ... looks like a normal audi a4 with some sharper edges ... the interior its the same as any other german car from the last 20 years ... the sliding central nob its rediculous ... it costs 60k more than a Tesla thats better in every way ... and the same of a Tesla that compared to this its not even in the same world ... Its an a4 , with a forklift engine basicaly ... and its going to be the slowest electric car on the market This review its totaly biased , and nobody are going to buy that car ...

Well done, this is one of the best in-depth car review channels around. Going into the details is the best method, calm and collected speech is also pleasant (unlike those silly channels where the voice-over or the reviewer shouts 99% of the time and annoys us...).

Went to the UK configurator and you pay +2850 GBP to switch from leatherette to sports bag material. As always, eco-premium materials are scams.

It looks something straight out of a cheap Jetta, the seat material that is. The "alcantara" or whatever that cloth is on the steering wheel will look horrible after some time.

[@alanincentraljersey]

When I purchased my RS5 SB, I saw an E-Tron in Black, with a $164,000.00 U.S. price tag. I enjoyed your review since I really didn’t know much about the vehicle, other than at the price, I wasn’t buying one. Also honestly, I’m not a fan of EV’s, primarily because the technology is changing so rapidly, I think it’s way to soon to make a purchase. I have been watch a few reviewers here in the US for the last couple of years and I happy your channel popped up on my KZbin list today as you are right up there with the best US reviewers and I’m more into European cars than US personally. Thank you for the review.

[@gregorygant4242]

Best looking EV car on the market , no doubt about it. Super quality interior , great performance as well. But it's the design , the designer's nailed it , this thing is drop dead gorgeous , sexy, and very ,very cool ! Marc Lichte did a superb job here , bravo !

[@Some0ne001]

Its not even that the real buttons for climate change are more functional, I think they just look nicer than another screen. It also just feels better to press something thats nice and clicky 😂

An Audi with an animal-free interior? I am shocked, shocked. I never thought I'd see the day. Perhaps they can do similar with their other models.

[@abraxastulammo9940]

Maybe before shipping they give the car to a 3rd party contractor company which removes all the leather and puts on some recycled fabrics. 🙈

[@danI43541]

Like the idea of the button for AC control but they should’ve taken some more premium parts... those are straight from the A3.

[@danieljames4467]

Just a thought on the steering wheel. Would a standard fabric cleaner be sufficient to clean it? I can just see after time that this would get very dirty with peoples hands and stuff being transferred onto the wheel. At least leather is easy to clean and make hygienic.

[@daygon128]

That stuff is crap. I've had it in more than one car. It wears out quickly and doesn't maintain it's texture long. Go leather while you can.

[@autogefuehl]

There are good Alcantara cleaning guides. As an alternative, you can also use high grade leatherette as Tesla does in Model 3 or Y for example

[@sunilnijran1515]

Great review as ever!!👍2 questions: 1. Would you choose this car over an RS7? 2. Would you choose this car over a Taycan?

[@Baerzilla]

1. No, if environmental tax where i live now would allow me a RS7 id go for that. Interior of GT RS is better though imo. 2. having sat in both today (driven the taycan but not the GT yet) the audi feels more special to me personally. Also it looks better. Im in the market for one of these right now, taycan 4S and GT RS are basically the same price in my configurations. After looking at both in person today ill def. go for the Audi, IF i get an electric car. Still looking at some hybrids and drooling over some regular combustion performance cars, which i dont want to afford.

[@DaveStern2]

great review! would you say the rear seats are large enough and sufficient for a several hour long trip? or are they too small to be comfortable for anything but a short trip (30 mins or less)?

[@somehowimanage3902]

Thomas always proud when presenting german cars :D Looks like you really enjoyed this one. Not sure how it would look in a Thomas-blue color though..

[@usswia]

Excellent review Thomas. Can you recall if you sit as low in the GT as in the Taycan? Typically Audi have a higher sitting position which feels like you sitting on the car rather than in it. Porsche counterparts have lower driving positions e.g. 911 and Cayman vs R8 and TT. Thx

The headlights exterior lines/shape could have been designed to be much more distinctive.. the rest of the e-tron GT exterior design is amazing!

[@johnnyViDeO]

Gorgeous design, but that bluish purple color makes me want to puke, and that green/brown looks like shit, literally. Range is an issue, as is price. When is a builder going to offer a center screen that swivels toward the driver, tilts, rotates, and extends? Reaching is distracting. Good job as usual, Thomas.

[@TheMr3742]

[@willemmerson224]

@Thomas: I will for sure vote for a custom V8 sound (not only in an Audi), good that you mentioned it. Why not? Point is that it can be switched off, when you buy an AMG for example, it will sounds all the time that nasty, but sometime one is not in the mood for that kind of noise. Automakers looking for all kind of things to sell to the customer, this is an opportunity to sell all variations of sound (like apps on a smartphone), big market in my opinion ...

[@robelliott1428]

Great review as usual! I wonder if there is any fine print in the warranty with respect to Battery Life if you charge the car when it is outside of the recommended 20-80 percent range? If you should not charge the car above 80% then what is the real effective range of the vehicle (compared with identical driving behaviours if it were charged to 100%)? Marketing the car as having a range of 400km fully charged and then recommending the battery never be charged beyond 80% is misleading to say the least...

[@benjaminsmith2287]

The dash is an improvement over the two-screen dash of the A8, A6, and the other current Audis. I'm not sure about the suede like surfaces but the other materials look good. When the car comes to slow down to stop, it almost sounds like a subway or metro train with recirculating brakes. Car is great for those of means and may show some future design directions for Audi.

[@sten6994]

Seems Audi finally started making throttle pedal in the way BMW has had it. Awesome :)

[@nevarran]

Basically the range figures on the EVs are if you're driving in city traffic. Even regular highway speeds cut it with at least 25%.

[@andrehalim469]
