Damn right! And the interior is spot on. What the designers of other brands are thinking is crazy. Nobody in their right mind wants to use a touchscreen for basic controls like climate control! Audi is on point!
So true about the Audi Wheel design, tbh they've not always been great. The newer RS4 and RS6 especially have had the best designs but previously it was very limited and mostly swapped for aftermarket ones
I agree but it is a dam shame that for the price your paying the range is awful. It is like they have put more money into the tech and the look. Why is it that Tesla can make a 1050bhp car the Plaid that looks quite nice and is stupidly quick yet has a better range than both the Audi and the Porsche? Don't get it these are multi billion dollar companies that should have an amazing R&D department. They made the Bugatti Veryon god dam it
I was looking at the Taycan XT 4S. When I sat in it I was shocked how small it was considering the huge exterior. It's no bigger than an Audi A3 (with the exception of an extra 200 litres of boot space). The new RS3 is just as quick (if not a little bit quicker) and came in about £47K cheaper in a similar spec. Then add 12453 to the equation...it's Audi RS3 all the way!! 👍🏻😎❤
I guess you do effects for movies and stuff?? Aside from the extreme knowledge you have of these cars you feature, you are head and shoulders above everyone else on RUclips. Well done as always.
@@RemoveBeforeRace liar!(lol) You have professional experience or something. You don't just screw around! That captain America shield thing killed me. There's no one in the game doing cars with your effects skills. You're God damned top 1% on effects in RUclips. It's really unreal.
Technically there is already an estate version of this, the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, and I think there is a Sports Turismo version coming as well.
Totally agree with the styling. Best looking EV by far. Don't mind the alloys tbf, they are better than just about all the options for the Taycan apart from the Mission E style.
This neeeeeedddds an Avant version! I really hope they’ll do one based on the Cross Turismo. I’d fit really well into the RS lineup and show the RS wagon heritage
I agree, best looking EV on the market today.🥰 Great comprehensive review. 👍🏻Your Audi Etron RS6 Shooting Brake model is super handsome too. 🥰 Well done Audi. 👍🏻
Only found your channel recently but your reviews are excellent, and the graphics are awesome - really helpful when you pitch one car over another so you can see the shape/size difference, keep up the great work!
Audi are very much in line with what my retiree uncle wanted for the Cross Turismo, a modern 911 interior in an ev. Couldn't get it regardless of the cost though, just wouldn't so he ended up getting the last gen rs6 until as he put it "people wake up to screens not expressing quality or style".
I disagree that the sensation of speed in ev’s is addictive. If anything, it gets old fast…it’s not a particularly good feeling and you find yourself driving in the slowest setting whenever possible. At least, that’s been my experience
Pretty sure there are two buttons with a P on them by the gear selector, the one closest to the selector is the parking brake and the one above that is the park assist?
“Large Screens are a fad” - Totally Agree and as you say, very very dangerous distraction (I was recently driven into by someone who was fiddling with his touchscreen and not paying attention to the road)! Also nothing will date these cars faster than their screens and infotainment. A ray of hope for this car is that it drives well and isn’t plastered with iPads like the majority of BEVs.
14:19 I gotta correct u on that one. If you go into the centre screen you can change the appearance of the guage cluster. And get the whole map in front of your eyes.
It needs more range. IMO the looking BEV is the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo (also needs more range). I agree they have over done it with the screen only controls, give me back my buttons
OMG! Analogue controls? The idea Audi isn't going all in on the digital dashboard makes me very happy. I cant stand my fathers sq7 and the glossy touchscreens where everything looks the same. I was beginning to think my ttrs was one of the last cars they made with simple intuitive controls. I love the interior...designer was able to make the dashboard look great even with no less than 4 different materials. I think most interiors looks confused, like too many people had a hand in it. It needs a knob in the middle to control the infotainment so you're not hunting for touchscreen buttons
Looking at the side-view, the lack of ground clearance through the middle of the wheelbase would definitely make me very cautious, if not downeight nervous!!
I would say the best-looking EV are the little Peugeot e-208 and the Honda-e, but on the higher end, yes, the e-tron is right up there. Just get rid of the f***ing ugly black grille! If I can option that in body colour or silver, it’s a winner!
Superb video Raz. So informative. So detailed as to what was it is and is not a Taycan. WELL DONE! Learned a ton. As to the car, it is superb too - though I sure get it that if one wants even harder core than the RS, that a Taycan has that extra sharp edginess. Personally, a nice yet highly capable GT is what I am leaning toward.
I agree about the touch screens, particularly the lower climate control touchscreen in the Audi’s. When I first saw the interior of this e-Tron with the buttons, I was disappointed it didn’t match the clean lines of their other interiors but having lived with the RS6 for 12 months, the lower screen is pretty dangerous while driving. It takes your eye off the road far too much as you try & figure out which bit your supposed to be swiping or touching. Even the haptic feedback doesn’t help because you still have to glance down to make sure your fingers are in the right place for the function you want to adjust.
Absolutely brilliant video. Like you I would change the wheels for the one on the RS6 then it would look stunning. Your render of the estate version looked stunning too. Keep up the great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic review, in fact the best and most informative I have seen to date. I am actually part exchanging my Tesla model 3 long range for this and picking it up in two days. The Tesla screen has caught me out too many times because it is too fiddly to make the usual adjustments that one does. Also the interior is showing signs of wear after just 6 months. The Audi on the other hand is in another league entirely but of course more expensive. The Tesla has good range…..if you drive it sensibly and turn of a/c or heating. I think that the Audi if driven the same way would also give a better range of over 300miles. The problem is……can one have enough self control to accomplish this? This Audi is the best ev I have driven to date without question and the best looking.
Great video. Love your effects. I agree that this is by far the best looking EV and possibly the best looking 4 door car currently on the market. Just wish the range were higher.
This does paint a good picture of the future, but it's concerning to think that all the differences between this and the Taycan are basically managed by software. With the advent of expensive electrification killing small brands and development, how long will it be before every car is at heart the same electronic skateboard?
great video as always. little tip: try using manual focus instead of automatic focus on your camera when doing those side settings. that way you can avoid the hopping around of the focus. also clearly visible on the etron dashboard shot… can’t top your SFX tho!
i like more classic look of regular petrol car than forcing the car look electric, im already hesitant towards ev's but if il have to get one in future id prefer it looking like regular car inside and out, i think audi hit the nail on the head
I love the fact that they’re using more buttons inside but imo they shouldn’t use A3 buttons on a 100k car… I’d prefer knobs over buttons, it already looks a bit old
As someone who is very detail/history orientated, and someone that does often engage with their commenters, I’m hoping you can answer this one for me. When did PR people, journalists etc. stop saying “the” before a care name? It has been a few years now, but why? Why do people say, for example, “So what we have done with R8 this time” rather than “So what we have done with THE R8”. Now I’m not losing any sleep over it, it just irritates the hell out of me as it sounds like some marketing guff that came from Apple or something similar that everyone has now adopted. Please help me understand! Totally agree btw - the E Tron GT is, by some margin, my favourite production EV looks-wise. It just looks like a well-sculpted ‘normal’ car, rather than one where the designers have said “Right, it’s an EV so we must make it look DIFFERENT”, which mostly ends up with some contrived styling cues.
Having to go to the screen to change drive mode is in itself enough reason to buy the Taycan IMO. I go back and forth on the exterior looks but I agree the interior design is much better in the Audi, but again drive mode…. Argh! I guess I’ll wait until the next update comes out to see which one gets it right. Having to use a screen to adjust vent output (i.e. taycan ) is just silly
First class as always. Really nice to have EV reviews from petrolhead -angle. I hope that you will get BMW I4 M50 to review (as soon as those are available for such 😀). Very nice car, but just too expensive and a bit too limited range. I hope M50 will be closer to sweet spot…
Does anybody know what the blank is next to the hazards lights? I’ve watched so many reviews of this car as I’m collecting one on Saturday. I hate blanks but I haven’t seen a single car with a button where that blank is.
I think the Cross Turismo looks better. I also like the way the EQS looks because the lowest drag coefficient is beautiful in itself. This one looks great too but the wheels look silly and the bonnet is a little too common.
RBR, According to Rory of Autotrader the Taycan is more comfortable and more of a GT car than the ETRON. I'd love for you to do a comparison between the two.
True that, infotainment screens defo dangerous as they take seconds away from your attentioon to the road where as before you could direct choices from ur steering wheel whilst looking at the road....
Great review. But, am I the only one that is underwhelmed by the looks? Too round at the back almost reminds me of the old C5 A6. And the wheels are a total dud. Ugh. Really thought I was going back to Audi from Tesla - but when you factor in cost, range and performance, this car is no competition for a Model S Plaid.
I'm a very opinionated person but I must say I agree with every statement/opinion made in this video, I think it's one of the best objective review channels here, if's you're buying a car and you're not a sheep blindly following the hype of the current sheep population, it's the go-to spot in my opinion...

More EVs like this please: just needs to look like a proper car! Now Audi: make an E Tron R8!!!
Only if the range was over 300 miles (Real Life, not the brochure range). Would be perfect

they should really make an estate version, it would be a banger regardless of rs or not
Stonks 📈📈📈
I guess it would make sense for Audi of all people to make the worlds first Estate EV
And yes, the sales will explode 🤯
@@Tomoyo0827 Taycan Cross Turismo already exists.
Please no. Estates are so ugly and clumsy.
Technically there is already an estate version of this, the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, and I think there is a Sports Turismo version coming as well.
The first 19 seconds of this video alone deserves an instant like. Amazing stuff
Totally agree with the styling. Best looking EV by far. Don't mind the alloys tbf, they are better than just about all the options for the Taycan apart from the Mission E style.
This neeeeeedddds an Avant version! I really hope they’ll do one based on the Cross Turismo. I’d fit really well into the RS lineup and show the RS wagon heritage
But they have their entire SUV EV range, standard e-tron, Q4 e-tron and Q6 e-from coming up. An estate version would be cool nonetheless.
I love Avant's too, but the market speaks different...unfortunatly
Audi continues to produce the most beautiful designs in the industry. Staggering beauty.
I agree, best looking EV on the market today.🥰
Great comprehensive review. 👍🏻Your Audi Etron RS6 Shooting Brake model is super handsome too. 🥰
Well done Audi. 👍🏻
I used to prefer this over the Taycan in terms of looks. But the Taycan has grown on me, especially that lightsaber tailight.
Only found your channel recently but your reviews are excellent, and the graphics are awesome - really helpful when you pitch one car over another so you can see the shape/size difference, keep up the great work!
I heard this video was better than the second half of Eternals.
I agree it looks great. Makes me wonder why Audi haven't used this style on their petrol RS cars.
The tail lights on the E tron GT are also used on the RS7
Audi are very much in line with what my retiree uncle wanted for the Cross Turismo, a modern 911 interior in an ev. Couldn't get it regardless of the cost though, just wouldn't so he ended up getting the last gen rs6 until as he put it "people wake up to screens not expressing quality or style".
I disagree that the sensation of speed in ev’s is addictive. If anything, it gets old fast…it’s not a particularly good feeling and you find yourself driving in the slowest setting whenever possible. At least, that’s been my experience
That is very true
Pretty sure there are two buttons with a P on them by the gear selector, the one closest to the selector is the parking brake and the one above that is the park assist?
“Large Screens are a fad” - Totally Agree and as you say, very very dangerous distraction (I was recently driven into by someone who was fiddling with his touchscreen and not paying attention to the road)!

Damn - I really hope they make a wagon version of this car. Your rendering looked so good. I’d probably sell a kidney to buy one!
I agree on the steering wheel! The one they had on the E-Tron GT concept was so cool looking!
Nice to see the screens integrated into the dash and not just slapped on as an after thought.
Looking at the side-view, the lack of ground clearance through the middle of the wheelbase would definitely make me very cautious, if not downeight nervous!!
Fantastic car! 3 Points on my wish list: longer range, Avant and Cabrio version :)
I agree with you RBR it's the best looking EV out there!
I would say the best-looking EV are the little Peugeot e-208 and the Honda-e, but on the higher end, yes, the e-tron is right up there. Just get rid of the f***ing ugly black grille! If I can option that in body colour or silver, it’s a winner!

not only prob the best looking EV out there but also one of the best looking cars made today
Yes it just might be the best-looking EV so far but I just wish everybody would stop reviewing it in the same damn color!!
Love the looks!

Even the haptic feedback doesn’t help because you still have to glance down to make sure your fingers are in the right place for the function you want to adjust.
Agree. I love flat screens for look. But gowd I hate them when I need to use them in a car bouncing around trying to focus on the road.
The E Tron GT is very nice, but I still like the look of the Taycan more
Absolutely brilliant video. Like you I would change the wheels for the one on the RS6 then it would look stunning. Your render of the estate version looked stunning too. Keep up the great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Audi RS Etron, or ARSE for short? Fortunately it appears more than decent.

Just found your Channel recently and I like it very much! Greetings from Berlin! 👌
I love how you have a Panamera in your garage :3
Great video. Love your effects. I agree that this is by far the best looking EV and possibly the best looking 4 door car currently on the market. Just wish the range were higher.
Best looking 4-door? Say hello to the Gemera.
This does paint a good picture of the future, but it's concerning to think that all the differences between this and the Taycan are basically managed by software.

The same way all cars are just an engine an transmission…
This is a really great channel
In depth an meticulous but understandable

Best looking 911 I've seen since the last one!
Excellent review and nice car thanks

the Way he threw the Shield is Exactly how Cap does lol like body movement wise lol Nice attention to detail!
Great intro - whatever audi does the taycan will always be the special one out of the two!
This should have been an Avant. Porsche Cross Turismo Taycan is incredible and this thing as an Avant would look even better.
God! What a car . And it’s electric. And Quattro. Amazing, I’m a bmw fan.
BMW is a such a crappy company . Owned 4 of them and I’m done with that brand for life.
Interior design is really brilliant 👏

My goldknuckels really enjoyed the video !
Ace review Nice info caption
Great review! Only suggestion would be to use manual focus as keeps changing from yourself to exterior background. A little distracting tbh.
I want that AMG t-shirt 2:00
Audi finally making good looking cars!? I'm glad the R8 isn't alone in the lineup anymore
Pause @ 9:28 and 10:34 with the RS6 wheels shown, take screenshots, make one of them your new desktop image. You're welcome!!
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!!!!!!!!! 👑🇯🇲🔥💥⭐🌟🇧🇴💯💎
If you drive backwards does it recharge?
Super. So excited to drive one. Vid is tops..
Thanks for helping me makeup my mind!
I’m just not ready. Need another 20 years of naturally aspirated engines.
I love the porsche like rear bar light all across rear end!
Fantastic review as always, but I think you're wrong about minimalism in car interior design being a fad.
Looks good but I still think the Taycan Grand Turismo looks better.
For sure. And for the price I would rather have the Taycan.
Does it come in matte black
Does anybody know what the blank is next to the hazards lights? I’ve watched so many reviews of this car as I’m collecting one on Saturday. I hate blanks but I haven’t seen a single car with a button where that blank is.
I saw one on the road the other day with the numberplate RS6 7RON 🙌
Audi means "listen" for real
look how sweet that car is
I think the Cross Turismo looks better. I also like the way the EQS looks because the lowest drag coefficient is beautiful in itself. This one looks great too but the wheels look silly and the bonnet is a little too common.
The RS e tron is one serious car on performance and it goes against the likes of the it's high performing petrol sibling, the R8
RBR, According to Rory of Autotrader the Taycan is more comfortable and more of a GT car than the ETRON. I'd love for you to do a comparison between the two.
True that, infotainment screens defo dangerous as they take seconds away from your attentioon to the road where as before you could direct choices from ur steering wheel whilst looking at the road....
Interesting. New M3 (Joe Achilles) is fractionally faster running the 0-60mph.
Love the wheels, LOVE the car 😊 Most beautiful ev 💯
where in the uk do they have 70 mph single lane roads?
Great review. But, am I the only one that is underwhelmed by the looks? Too round at the back almost reminds me of the old C5 A6. And the wheels are a total dud. Ugh.

Oh, and awesome video, thank you 👍🏻
Is that not the same color that launched the original R8 I wouldn’t be surprised if it was
This guy is a great car salesman. No objectivity, no mention of pros and cons, its all about kissing car maker ass.

perfect minus the rear light bar.

I want one but am waiting for a larger battery. Lucid offers over 500 miles
Is it seeing anyone because if not I’m all in love those ridges on the arches , ridges🤤 yeah I’m all in😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
Way too much glossy black plastics in that interior for me.
