#audi #etron #review 
Авто/Мото
By far the best looking EV available.
Paul 👋... when I heard that Audi was killing the R8 in favor of an electric sports car, I was furious!Now hear me out. The R8 is a 2 seater car with no place to put your luggage. Meanwhile, the e-tron gt is a 4 seater plus a boot. If there's one thing we would miss, it is, of course, that V10 rear mounted engine😮. The sound it makes definitely brings a smile to your face, it make you feel like you're driving something special. The fact that the e-tron gt is more powerful and practical than the R8, it's easy to forgive Audi for that decision, well, for me at least.
I drove an RS etron GT on the ice whilst at Audi's Ice Driving Experience in Finland earlier this year. Our "standard" cars were RS4 Avant. The RS4 was more fun to drive, both lighter and with the exhaust sound. In the RS etron GT, the sound of grinding ice/snow prevailed above the engine whine. I'd choose an ICE car over electric anyday.
@@stephenhunt6673what you are saying in this particular scenario is not relevant - ICE!!!?
@pauld61 I still wouldn't buy it as the interior quality doesn't feel the same as for say RS6/RS7, which are about the same price in Australia. And what's with the dickie switch masquerading as a gear shift? It looks like the same P/R/D switch that's in the Skoda Octavia /VW Golf.
by far the best looking ev for my tastes.
and when you compare the pricing and performance to the rest of the Audi RS range, its not so outrageous.
Only 10” screen 😂
Looks like cars need 65” displays to be kool now
I love how insane our import and luxury car taxes are in this country. Really fair. Basically have to be a millionaire to afford anything high-end.
a 911 is litrally double price compare to the US or UK (which also has high import tax)
Well when it’s raking in great revenue, there’s a few people out of the overall population that are even affected (so it’s not on the mind of the average consumer) and those few people are prepared to pay any price for a car - no wonder it’s still in place. Ask 95% of the population if they’d like higher rego fees to subsidise lost revenue from removing LCT from a millionaire’s Porsche 911 and I don’t think you’re gonna get much interest.
If you can afford a vehicle like this, I have no issue with it having a 33% LCT being applied. I would rather our hospitals and schools be funded by the purchase of Audi RSs and BMW M4s rather than an extra 5% on food.
Well it is called high end for a reason.
The design is hoooooot
Owl take that
Another wicked review, thank you!
Damn, that BOTS are out in force!
Where’s the pinned comment for the app you use to test acceleration?
hope Zeekr 001 FR will come here soon
No one wants one pedal driving a Porsche, which is why it’s not in the etron. The main reason I bought the Taycan CT because I hate one pedal driving.
You should revisit the Taycan CT Turbo review; as it will be interesting now you done the etron as I think they are so different.
One deal driving is the best.
If you like that.. it’s definitely not my cup of tea
What does one pedal driving mean in the context of these cars
That's ridiculous - firstly one pedal driving is great when you learn to do it properly and secondly you can usually turn it off in most cars.
Great Review, I have just bought one 4 weeks ago. I went with the GT but with a high spec which gives it all the benefits of the RS ( 4wheel steering, TC Brakes, electric diff and so on) so hard to justify the RS price. You managed to avoid mentioning the Wifi charger which cooks IPhones to the point where it shuts down the system and ruins your IPhone battery. Audi is trying to pretend it’s not an issue. Wonder how they will react when a car catches fire. I went from An R8v10 and am feeling it was a mistake
It seems like an amazing car. Let us know how it is in a few weeks or months, and how usable and comfortable it is on a daily basis.
It’s working out really weak, very easy to live with, still rare enough to feel special.
Ooops meant really well, not weak
@@andrewlicence8901 that's awesome. You see a lot of Taycan on the road in comparison, it's definitely a special car.
Just got one I love it picked it over the Tycan cause I love Audi. You missed out there’s actually 2 usb C ports under the middle back seat also the seats are Massage on the front. I never thought I’d get electric car but I drove this and I had to have it. I also drove the Tycan but I think the turbo is too much and I actually prefer Audis interior stilling. I hate the whole iPad screens everywhere.
No you don't.
Unrelated, but does anyone know when the rs3 will be available again?
Not until the facelift comes out I guess.
When are we getting a Mercedes EQB or Maybach sedan and Tesla model 3 review?
Great video as always. Awesome looking car, but EV's have no soul. Missing that engine noise.
I work for audi as a sale rep, and as much as I love engine noise etc, etron feels completely like an ICE car and it really being enjoyment and engaging driving it. Now standard etron SUV is boring I agree but the GT feels completely different.
Cars have no soul. Theyre machines 🤦🏻♂️
@@DavidofAbraham Try and convince them to drop a V8 in it 🤪
if that's too expensive for u it just starts off at a measily 180000 dollars
This is my dream car
An electric door release with a failsafe that requires you to pull the handle a tad further. Forgive my naivety but is that not akin to strapping an appliance to your face to spare you the effort of blinking ?
I bought one almost 2 years ago. My average consumption is 25.6kwh/100km, 0-100 in 3.0s. The car is a beauty and very comfortable to drive. However the price is crazy if you compare it with a tesla plaid now. And the phonecharger is a joke... you will most likely not be able to fit your phone in that booth.
Don’t compare Audi with a Tesla
But wouldnt a gearbox in an EV be good for its range of it can go in a taller gear to not work as hard?
No that’s not how electric motors really work.
Yes. Other high end EVs also have the two speed. It’s for the autobahn. Yes the top speed on this is 250ish just like the Hyundai but I guarantee this sitting on cruise at say 200kmh vs the Hyundai at 200, the Audi electric motors in this would not be spinning as fast, thus less power usage.
Currently the extra efficiency is negated by the extra weight of having gears. EV motors have a lot less efficiency losses than ICE
The majority of people reacting negative on EVs live in big countries with few ( super ) chargers... In Western Europe no problems with that as distances are way smaller, here in the Netherlands we have about 140,000 public charging points and abt 5000 public HPC.
Very nice car but why does it have a massive transmission tunnel? Like almost all modern cars you cannot seat three people in the rear comfortably.
Why does the interior look like it’s taken straight off a $45k base model A3
Keep it up
Looks like Porcrhe desighers did the back end
Pit its only for the cashed up !!
Wow 😯😯 what a nice car
280k for this or 180k for a supercharged Camaro or mustang and 100k in the bank... wtf
There’s a reason no one buys American cars outside of America… they suck.
Certainly, individuals who purchase this car are likely considering its economic aspects 😉
Sure a car for the every man 180k hey. I don’t think so
I do like the idea of having a transmission in an EV because it means that at the 250km/h it will be much more efficient than the Kia, Hyundai and others
Hell no, you'd be lucky to get the door open to drive it out of the damn dealership Audis break down so much
Shit aren't we all lined up to buy one ...🤪🤪🤪👍🤪
Some of the most depreciating electric vehicles on the market !
👍🏻
$280k for a battery with wheels 😂😂😂
Naaas
Spend $280k to go green, umm....nah i will stick to petrol
just got a q 3 for the girls
ooooow❤❤❤
$280K is not bad 😒 for electric
Would rather ride a push bike then buy an EV
how can one justify paying so much for a car, unless the ego is compelling him
Agree. A car like this is not a rational purchase for her, or indeed him. A few of us find ourselves in a situation where no justification is required.
Someone stupid will buy it I guess 😂
One of my older neighbours bought one recently and it looks wicked! But at that price though...
Another overpriced EV just waiting to do a thermal runaway in your garage.😊
280K for that electric rubbish , the world has gone bonkers.
Haha agreed, nothing replaces the feeling of a combustion engine
The whole car is really outdated. Audi’s OS is old and outdated. No real new tech, the average car now has most of those safety features. A Tesla model 3 performance is just as fast. Surely only people who don’t know how much is in their bank account are going to buy it, as their back up car.
@@Madracer09 Don't ever compare this beautifully and wonderfully made car to a Tesla
@@jonathanlupalezwi5951 he called the whole car outdated then mention tesla. Tesla fanboy detected. Tesla can do 0-60 faster than any EV but aside from that is bad build quality and it looks hideous both exterior and interior. Dont ever compare junks to beautiful/stunning german car lol
Straight up cal it a rubbish without even thinking. The world is not about your opinion.
250k and the Interior is full of cheap piano black plastic
Looks like a very expensive electric shit box
Overpriced german crap and the rear haunches are straight from erstwhile infiniti q50. You have to have more money than sense to buy this pos
sacrificial bumper on a $250k Audi haha
SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is the best looking Audi after R8. But, it is too slow compared to Tesla Model S Plaid. 🥲
At least we can get this in Australia.
No one gives a fuck about teslas 😂
