The verdict

What's good

Low slung body and wide track deliver genuine sports-car handling feel
800V architecture charges faster than nearly any rival EV on the market
Cabin materials and fit quality match Porsche Taycan at a lower price
Instant torque delivery makes merging and overtaking effortless in traffic

What's not

Real-world range falls noticeably short of EPA estimate in cold weather
Charging network dependent on Ionity in Europe — gaps remain in rural US
Heavy curb weight blunts steering feel compared to lighter petrol rivals
Rear headroom is tight for occupants over six feet due to sloped roofline

The engine

Dual-Motor Electric

Dual-Motor Electric (quattro)

Audi's dual-motor EVs reinvent quattro all-wheel drive electrically — a motor on each axle juggling torque thousands of times a second for surreal grip and silent, surging pace.

Built on VW Group's PPE and J1 electric platforms (the latter shared with the Porsche Taycan), Audi's e-tron GT and Q6 e-tron carry quattro's rallying heritage into the electric era.

The RS e-tron GT shares its 800-volt J1 platform with the Porsche Taycan.
'quattro' is now electric — torque is split by software between two motors, not a mechanical diff.
