2022 Audi e-tron GT: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Audi e-tron GT is an all-new model and the first year of its first generation in the U.S. It debuted as a fully electric grand-touring sedan with dual-motor AWD and an 800-volt charging system.
About the 2022 Audi e-tron GT
1st generation (2022-2024), first U.S. model year
Audi positioned the e-tron GT as a low, wide electric grand tourer that combines sports-car acceleration with the comfort and quietness expected from a luxury four-door. Its core appeal is the mix of dual-motor AWD performance, a comfortable adaptive-air-suspension ride, rapid DC charging, and a driver-focused cabin. Compared with more utility-focused EVs, it emphasizes design, road manners, and long-distance comfort rather than maximum cargo space.
Premium Plus is the everyday-driver version, pairing strong electric performance with adaptive air suspension, heated sport seats, a digital instrument panel, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen. Prestige is the more comfort- and technology-focused trim, with adaptive cruise assistance, a head-up display, a top-view parking camera, quieter side glass, and upgraded audio.

“The Audi e-tron GT is quick and fun to drive. Has many safety features Audi needs to address how to open front hood (called the fronk) to access 12 volt battery which controls all interior functions, if battery dies.”
