Should you buy one?

The updated Audi E-Tron GT improves an already impressive car in several keys areas, addressing some of our issues with the pre-facelift version in the process. Driving range and charging speed are now among the best available, while performance has gone through the roof. The Porsche Taycan is faster still, and more involving, but the Audi is an excellent electric grand tourer now.

The new air suspension makes effortless work of all kinds of driving and the way the active system raises the car to meet you counteracts some of our accessibility concerns. There’s still not much room in the back, but you’ll easily have enough space for a couple of children – although you won’t be able to take more than about a weekend’s worth of luggage.

The basic interior design is arguably a little too conservative and certainly looks a little old these days, but it’s practically a breath of fresh air to find a modern cabin that still has physical buttons these days, which is a real boon for us. A large array of customisation options are available to make it look how you want inside, too.

What we like

Astonishing performance combined with high levels of comfort and a great deal of control. We like the way it looks and the laidback balance of the driving experience. An impressive electric car.

What we don’t like

Bits of the interior don’t feel up to the cost, and it’s still a struggle to see past the Taycan – which uses the same underlying technology but offers even wider choice.
