The 2026 Audi e-tron GT occupies the luxury electric grand tourer category with a four-door fastback design that offers sedan space and coupe aesthetics. Shoppers compare it to the Porsche Taycan, which shares its platform and emphasizes handling, the Tesla Model S for acceleration and range, and the Lucid Air for interior room. The 2026 model continues from the 2025 mid-cycle update, adding standard all-wheel steering to enhance low-speed agility and high-speed composure. Its dual-motor all-wheel-drive system pairs with a 97-kWh battery pack to produce 670 horsepower and 671 lb-ft of torque in the S e-tron GT configuration, achieving 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds.
Audi's MMI infotainment operates via dual touchscreens, including a 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit for instrumentation and a 10.1-inch central display with haptic controls. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Audi Connect for navigation, traffic information, and in-car Wi-Fi. Standard all-wheel steering aids parking and cornering, complemented by driver aids such as adaptive cruise control, traffic jam assist, and lane-keeping assistance. The myAudi app enables remote access for starting, charging monitoring, and locating the vehicle, alongside over-the-air updates for software improvements, with certain navigation and connectivity services requiring subscriptions.
