With the evolution of the electric vehicle industry and policies in Pakistan, more and more companies are launching their environment-friendly electric cars here. This includes the latest all-electric sedans, the E-Tron GT and RS E-Tron GT, introduced by Audi in the Pakistani market.
The E-Tron series aims to provide a fast, sports car-like experience while keeping the environment clean. The E-Tron GT has been launched worldwide to compete with the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan.
Audi e-tron GT Exterior The new Audi E-Tron GT quattro and Audi RS e-tron GT 2024 both share a sleek and smart design. Audi’s head of design, Marc Lichte, claims it is the most beautiful design he’s ever penned. The design is very similar to that of Audi’s A7 minus the front grille. The four-ringed emblem sits on a plastic plinth on the front. The front also sports matrix LED headlamps with Audi laser light, a dynamic lighting scheme, and dynamic turn signals. The back of the cars features infinite LED rear combination lamps with a dynamic lighting scheme and dynamic turn signals, making the cars stand out in a crowd.
The design is aerodynamic for reaching maximum speeds. Additionally, intelligent air inlets are situated at the front. The vented wheel arches and the striking rear diffuser further enhance the beauty and practicality of the design. The exterior mirrors are power-adjustable, heated, with power-folding and auto-dimming on both sides, along with a memory feature.
Both variants have a panoramic sunroof for better light. The Audi E-Tron GT quattro has 19-inch alloy wheels, while the Audi RS e-tron GT has 20-inch alloy wheels. Both have 5-double-spoke offset style, Black, diamond-turned wheels.
Audi e-tron GT Interior The interior of both the Audi E-Tron GT quattro and RS e-tron GT is environmentally friendly, offering an option to go leather-free and instead use resource-efficient materials throughout the interior. It has a seating capacity for four people, with an option for five seats, though this is a bit impractical given the small size of the seat. The rear passengers have abundant legroom, but the headspace is somewhat limited.
The angular dashboard houses multiple digital displays, including an instrument panel and a media display. It contains all the luxury infotainment features typical of Audi. The central multimedia display is 10.1 inches and can be operated by steering wheel switches as well as voice recognition software.
Both variants come with a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless charging, and a 16-speaker audio system. Other luxury features include ambient interior lighting, a head-up display, and heated-and-cooled power front seats with a memory feature for the driver’s seat. An auto-dimming interior rearview mirror enhances the interior. The D-shaped leather-wrapped steering wheel comes with electric steering wheel adjustment, and cup holders for all passengers are standard features. The interior focuses on both aesthetics and function.
Both the Audi E-Tron GT quattro and RS e-tron GT 2024 are loaded with driver-assistance features for a safe and comfortable ride. This includes adaptive cruise control, standard forward-collision warning, and automated emergency braking, along with available options such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. Another modern feature includes remote self-parking assist, which allows the driver to park the car via a smartphone app.
They also come with parking aid Plus with a 360° display. Another feature is the comfort key with sensor-controlled luggage compartment release without SAFELOCK.

Audi e-tron GT Ride & Handling Audi has paid special attention to the car’s performance, and it shows. The Audi E-Tron GT quattro runs smoothly on all kinds of roads and is easy to handle even at maximum speed. The RS e-tron GT is the sportier version, quick and agile. Without producing any noise, the RS e-tron GT cruises smoothly and efficiently through curvy paths without any difficulty in handling.
The rear motor on each variant deploys a 2-speed transmission for efficiency and performance. The Audi E-Tron GT quattro remains in second gear as much as possible for greater range. The RS e-tron GT, on the other hand, focuses on performance and launch purposes. In sport mode, the vehicle remains in first gear until a speed of 100 km/h is achieved.
Audi e-tron GT Maintenance As both variants are electric vehicles, neither transmission and engine fluids nor any petrol is required for their running and maintenance. Additionally, they do not require any filter replacement. Due to these factors, they are low-maintenance vehicles.
Audi e-tron GT Competitors The Audi E-Tron GT quattro and RS e-tron GT have no competitors in the Pakistani market as yet. In the international market, they compete with the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan.
The Porsche Taycan is strong competition for the GT variants because they are all based on the J1 Performance Platform, developed by Porsche for the Taycan. This means that the GT variants and Taycan both run on the same platform, with the only difference being in the exterior. The Porsche Taycan gives strong competition to the GT variants as it is a lot cheaper than the Audi.
The Tesla Model S competes with the Audi E-Tron GT quattro and RS e-tron GT in terms of driving range. Although the Audi variants can go 488 kilometers on a single charge, Tesla provides even more mileage. The Model S also comes with more interior space but cannot compete with the GT variants due to their outstanding performance.
