A hundred grand will buy you the e-tron GT quattro Premium Plus “entry-level” model, which packs plenty of standard kit.
The base 2022 e-tron GT sports 20-inch 5-double-spoke alloy wheels with gray accents, and the leather-free interior features Dinamica, Alcantara, and recycled materials, plus a flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara. The “monoposto” cockpit consisting of the 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit and 10.1-inch MMI touch response displays angled toward the driver comes standard too.
The Premium Plus model also brings standard 14-way adjustable heated sport seats, adaptive air suspension, and matrix-design LED headlights with high beam assist.

At the top of the e-tron GT food chain sits the RS high performance model, which will set you back at least $139,900.

All 2022 Audi e-tron GT models feature a 93.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack enabling a manufacturer’s estimated range of 238 miles (383 km) for the e-tron GT and 232 miles (373 km) for the RS e-tron GT.
In the e-tron GT, the battery feeds two electric motors producing a total of 469 horsepower (522 hp in overboost with launch control) and 464 lb-ft (628 Nm) of torque—472 lb-ft (639 Nm) with overboost. The resulting performance is enough for most people: zero to 60 mph (96 km/h) takes 3.9 seconds and the top track speed is 152 mph (244 km/h).
The more powerful front and rear motors in the RS e-tron GT produce 590 hp (637 hp with overboost) and a total system torque of 612 lb-ft (829 Nm). As a result, 0-60 mph takes 3.1 seconds and the top speed is 155 mph (250 km/h).
Besides the blistering performance, the 800-volt electrical architecture shared with the Porsche Taycan enables DC fast-charging at up to 270 kW, which means recharging from 5% to 80% takes about 22 minutes.
2022 Audi e-tron GT customers get perks like a new three year public DC fast-charging plan through Electrify America at no additional cost, available customized in-home Level 2 charging solutions, and a concierge customer experience. Audi did not say when US deliveries would start.
