by Audi Introduces New Base Version of the e-tron GT
Audi is expanding its e-tron GT electric car lineup by adding a new base version called quattro. This model will become a more affordable alternative to the more powerful S, RS, and RS Performance variants. The new quattro is already available for order in Europe.
The car received 20-inch wheels with a black coating, black accents on the body, and matrix LED headlights. The interior is equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a 10.1-inch multimedia system, heated seats and steering wheel, and a panoramic roof. The trunk’s useful volume is 405 liters, and the front compartment’s is 77 liters.
Technical Specifications and Prices
The e-tron GT quattro received a battery with a capacity of 105 kWh (useful – 97 kWh) and two electric motors. The standard power is 496 hp, and in Launch Control mode – 577 hp. Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 4 seconds. The range is up to 622 km. The model also supports fast charging with a power of 320 kW, which allows recovering 285 km of range in 10 minutes.
“This is a model that combines affordability with high technical characteristics,” Audi notes.
In Germany, the e-tron GT quattro starts from 108,900 euros, which is significantly cheaper than the previous base version S e-tron GT (126,000 euros). In the UK, sales will start in August with a price from £88,555. A Vorsprung version with a richer equipment package will also be available for £108,055.
The new e-tron GT quattro version could become an interesting option for those looking for a balance between performance and affordability. Reduced weight and an efficient battery make it competitive in the premium electric car market, especially in Europe, where the fast-charging infrastructure is actively developing.
