Specs side by side
What owners say
e-tron GT
Overall
Mixed sentiment with a clear divide between driving enjoyment and significant reliability concerns. The vehicle is widely praised by automotive enthusiasts for its high performance, handling, and vehicle dynamics, often mentioned alongside the Porsche Taycan as a benchmark for performance electric vehicles. However, long-term owner reports reveal a pattern of severe and frequent electronic and software issues that can render the car unreliable and difficult to repair.
Best version to buy
Insufficient owner data available to declare a consensus "best" trim. One owner reported purchasing a '22 GT Prestige trim with Leather and Performance packages, finding it to represent significant value on the used market.
Known issues
- ⚠Severe electronic/software glitches: includes inability to register main user, random charging failures, failures of front warning/measurement systems, spoiler extension/retraction failures, and surrounding camera failures.
- ⚠High-voltage system and drivetrain faults: includes "Electrical system malfunction" warnings, drive system faults leading to limp mode (50% power limit), four-wheel drive faults, and errors pointing to battery management or motor control m…
- ⚠Poor dealer service and part scarcity: lengthy repair times, only one trained technician per dealer, inability to diagnose or fix recurring software issues, lack of available updates from Audi to address known problems.
GranCabrio
Overall
Sentiment is speculative and anticipatory, as the data contains no direct long-term owner experiences for the new generation. Discussions center on the vehicle's positioning as a pioneering electric grand tourer convertible. The electric Folgore variant is noted for its innovative 800V architecture, unique packaging that preserves the classic body shape by placing batteries in the transmission tunnel, and a ride quality that some publications report is improved over the heavier ICE Trofeo variant due to its sophisticated air suspension.
Best version to buy
Insufficient owner data available. Commentary from reviews suggests the electric Folgore variant may offer a ride quality advantage over the ICE Trofeo model due to its weight distribution and suspension tuning.
Known issues
- ⚠No specific, recurring issues for the new GranCabrio generation are reported in the provided data.
