The New 2025 E-Tron GT Electric Sedan Is Most Powerful Audi Ever

Revamped 2025 Audi E-Tron GT Lineup: Performance and Luxury Redefined

While the Porsche Taycan electric sedan often stirs debate among enthusiasts, its corporate counterpart, the Audi E-Tron GT, quietly commands respect. With a significant update for 2025, the Audi E-Tron GT will now be available in three distinct trims, each offering impressive performance and value. Here’s a detailed look at what the 2025 Audi E-Tron GT lineup brings to the table.

Enhanced Efficiency and Range

Audi has made significant improvements to the E-Tron GT’s battery technology. The net-97 kWh battery pack has been optimized, shedding some weight while increasing energy storage capacity by 12%, thanks to enhancements in cooling technology and the 33 cell modules. The recuperation energy capacity has also seen a boost, going from 290 kW to 400 kW. According to Audi, the updated E-Tron GT can now achieve a maximum range of over 370 miles under ideal conditions in Europe. However, the U.S. EPA figures will provide a more precise measure of its range stateside. The suspension system has also been revamped, featuring a new “two-chamber, two-valve” programmable air suspension that enhances handling by maintaining a level stance during cornering, similar to the latest Porsche Panamera and Taycan.

Trim Levels and Performance

Audi S E-Tron GT

The base model in the lineup, the Audi S E-Tron GT, features a subtly redesigned exterior. Highlights include a black mask around the nose, a three-dimensional-effect grille, and lower bumper air curtains. The front end is accented with a body-color strip for contrast, while the rear sports a diffuser with vertical fins and a body-color inlay. The S E-Tron GT comes standard with all-wheel drive, generating 670 hp (500 kW) and accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. Red-painted brake calipers are an available option for this trim.

Audi E-Tron GT RS

The mid-level trim, the Audi E-Tron GT RS, elevates the design with a 3D honeycomb grille, L-shaped aero blades, and vertical red motorsport-inspired reflectors. Unique 21-inch “AVUS”-inspired wheels, based on a 1991 design study, are available, along with other 20-inch options across all trims. The RS trim delivers an impressive 845 hp (630 kW), enabling a 0 to 60 mph time of just 2.8 seconds.

Audi RS E-Tron GT Performance

Topping the range is the Audi RS E-Tron GT Performance, which boasts exclusive features such as a matte and darkened carbon roof and detail package, along with an exclusive Bedford Green paint finish. The interior includes a white driver display inspired by the 1994 Audi RS 2 Avant speedometer. This model is the most powerful production Audi to date, producing 912 hp (680 kW) and achieving a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.5 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph.

Additional Features and Pricing

All 2025 E-Tron GT models offer a panoramic glass roof with dimmable smart glass. The RS trims come with carbide-coated brakes, which are also optional on the S trim in black, red, or orange. Additionally, all trims can be equipped with ten-piston carbon-ceramic brakes in anthracite or red finishes.

The starting price for the 2025 Audi E-Tron GT in Europe is over $135,000 for the S trim, with the RS Performance model starting at more than $172,000. These enhancements make the E-Tron GT lineup a compelling choice for those seeking a blend of luxury, performance, and cutting-edge electric vehicle technology.
