The Audi e-tron GT is the brand’s four-door electric grand tourer, originally priced from £79,900 when new in 2021; a 2023 e-tron GT quattro now costs around £37,800, a reduction exceeding half. This guide explains both generations, battery recalls, warranty, realistic driving range and likely prices. There’s a print-out checklist at the end.
- Best value: a 2022 or 2023 e-tron GT quattro priced around £37,000–£38,000, with around 30,000 miles.
- Want the RS? It asks about £11,000–£15,000 more than a same-year quattro.
- Check before you buy: the high-voltage battery and front brake-hose recalls have been done.
- Range: allow roughly 210 miles per charge from an older example in normal driving, with less available in winter.
Which e-tron GT are you looking at?
2021 to 2024: the original version, using a 93 kWh battery (86 kWh usable). Two variants were offered: e-tron GT quattro and the quicker RS e-tron GT. This generation dominates used listings.
| Version | Peak power | Battery (usable) | Official range | From new |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| e-tron GT quattro | 530 PS | 86 kWh | 303 miles | £79,900 |
| RS e-tron GT | 646 PS | 86 kWh | 295 miles | £110,950 |
Peak output refers to the launch-control boost figure. The standard model was offered as plain e-tron GT quattro or Vorsprung (£106,000 when new); RS models offered standard, Carbon Black and Carbon Vorsprung trims.
From 2024: the updated model, featuring a 105 kWh battery (97 kWh usable), increased power and range, and quicker charging. Versions became S e-tron GT, RS e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT performance, before e-tron GT quattro returned as the entry model in 2025. Facelift listings identify the battery as “105kWh”.
| Version | Peak power | Battery (usable) | Official range | From new |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| e-tron GT quattro | 583 PS | 105 kWh | 385 miles | £89,555 |
| S e-tron GT | 680 PS | 105 kWh | 373 miles | £108,825 |
| RS e-tron GT | 857 PS | 105 kWh | 368 miles | £127,425 |
| RS e-tron GT performance | 925 PS | 105 kWh | 364 miles | £143,925 |
Full specs are on the e-tron GT, S e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT pages.
Realistic range
Our estimate for a typical car of each version, from the same battery-ageing model as the rest of EVcarsguide:
| Car | Summer | Year-round | Winter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 e-tron GT quattro | 235 miles | 208 miles | 175 miles |
| 2022 RS e-tron GT | 229 miles | 202 miles | 170 miles |
| 2026 e-tron GT quattro (facelift) | 327 miles | 288 miles | 242 miles |
These align with owners’ experiences: drivers of older examples report about 210 miles on a full charge in normal conditions, matching our year-round estimate for a 2022 car. Allow around 175 during winter.
Battery Health Estimator
Estimated condition if buying used
NMC chemistry - good longevity with proper charging habits
Estimates based on battery chemistry and age. Chemistry-based estimate. Actual health varies with charging habits, climate, and usage.
Charging
Home charging is available at up to 11 kW (22 kW on-board charging was optional and usually identified in listings). At a rapid charger, the 2021–2024 version accepts up to 270 kW, while the updated model reaches up to 320 kW. Owners describe 5–80% charging in around 22 minutes using the quickest chargers. Check those available along your regular routes, as slower chargers remove much of this advantage.
Warranty
Audi covers the battery for 8 years or 100,000 miles from first registration:
- Registered 2021: battery covered to 2029, or 100,000 miles if sooner.
- Registered 2022: battery covered to 2030, or 100,000 miles if sooner.
- Registered 2023: battery covered to 2031, or 100,000 miles if sooner.
- Registered 2024: battery covered to 2032, or 100,000 miles if sooner.
Recalls
The 2021–2024 car has had several battery recalls. Make sure every one that applies has been done:
- Front brake hoses (R/2024/322): 5,400 cars built January 2020 to June 2024 could have hoses that crack and leak brake fluid. Replacement hoses are fitted.
- Battery modules (R/2024/436, R/2024/404): 1,355 and 81 cars built 2021 to June 2023 could have overheating cell modules. The affected modules are replaced.
- Battery modules (R/2024/219, R/2024/203): 229 and 18 cars built 2021 to 2023 could have modules that fail over time, posing a fire risk. Affected modules are replaced.
- Moisture in the battery area (R/2023/322): 1,579 examples built September 2022 to June 2023.
- Seat-belt sensor wiring (R/2022/058): 322 early examples manufactured February to August 2021.
- Air springs (R/2022/359, R/2025/237): a handful of cars.

Safety

What owners report
Owners of 2021–2024 examples generally agree on the following:
- The looks and the ride: styling attracts the strongest praise, while owners rate the air-sprung ride on uneven roads and motorways.
- Range: roughly 210 miles per charge in normal driving, considerably below the official figure.
- Size: it is notably wide and heavy (around 2.3 tonnes), with limited cabin and boot space relative to its size.
- Gremlins: some owners describe electrical issues and dashboard rattles.
- Depreciation: rapid depreciation is what now makes used examples such an appealing prospect.
Compared with the Porsche Taycan, owners and reviewers consider the e-tron GT lighter in its steering and less engaging, though more comfortable. We found little owner discussion of the facelift so far.
What to pay
Most advertised used e-tron GTs are 2022 and 2023 quattros showing roughly 30,000 miles.
| Cars | Share of adverts | Median asking | Typical range | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| e-tron GT quattro, 2022 | 17% | £36,998 | £32,675–£46,567 | 31,500 |
| e-tron GT quattro, 2023 | 31% | £37,770 | £33,774–£44,849 | 30,591 |
| e-tron GT quattro, 2024 | 6% | £53,870 | £43,336–£55,747 | 16,536 |
| RS e-tron GT, 2021 | 7% | £44,748 | £37,925–£55,190 | 26,900 |
| RS e-tron GT, 2022 | 9% | £47,990 | £40,988–£55,597 | 26,869 |
| RS e-tron GT, 2023 | 10% | £52,450 | £46,390–£56,172 | 19,120 |
| Facelift e-tron GT quattro, 2026 | 8% | £67,549 | £65,125–£72,304 | 3,993 |
Treat these as asking prices rather than valuations. A 2023 e-tron GT quattro has depreciated by over £40,000 from new. The 2024 examples command considerably more because they have covered half the mileage. A nearly-new facelift e-tron GT quattro asks around £67,500, against £89,555 new.
Questions to ask the seller
- Which battery: 93 kWh (2021–2024) or 105 kWh (facelift)?
- Have the battery and brake-hose recalls been done? Can I see the invoices?
- Has it had any electrical faults or warning lights?
- Does it have the 22 kW on-board charger?
- Is the Audi service history complete, and was it a company or lease car?
