Audi e-tron GT sports a very dynamic and curvy design, despite sharing its underpinnings with the Porsche Taycan. It gets a large single-frame grille on the front that is flanked by slim LED headlights. On the side, it gets beefed up haunches to accommodate the wide section tyres and Audi India is also offering various customisation options. On the back, the e-tron GT gets connected LED taillights and they lend it a very wide stance.

On the inside, Audi e-tron GT is draped in luxury. In the RS spec, the seats and the dash are wrapped with Alcantara leather. Talking about the equipment, we get a large central touchscreen that is complimented with Audi’s virtual cockpit. Surprisingly, Audi decided to carry on with conventional air-con controls in place of a secondary display. Audi e-tron GT and RS can seat four people in comfort, however, headroom could be an issue for tall passengers.
