Audi e-tron GT (2021-2024) vs Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo

The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo costs £19,300 more than the Audi e-tron GT. For that premium it adds 44 miles more WLTP range, 50 kW faster peak rapid charging and 50 kW more power. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo comes out ahead overall.

The Audi e-tron GT is £19,300 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £208 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Audi e-tron GT comes out roughly £19,300 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 253 miles for the Audi e-tron GT and 290 miles for the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo goes roughly 37 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 18-18 minutes.

The two are within 2 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 436 mm of total clearance for the Audi e-tron GT and about 434 mm of total clearance for the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Audi e-tron GT and 84% for the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
