2022 Porsche Taycan vs. 2022 Audi e-Tron GT

Are you comparing the 2022 Audi e-Tron GT vs. Porsche Taycan? You’re not alone! These two models are based on the same platform, and have similar shapes and sizes—but there’s nothing like a Porsche, and our model is the dominant performer in this matchup. Before you pit the Porsche Taycan vs. Audi e-Tron GT in a battle of test drives, read our in-depth guide to find out where the Taycan exceeds all expectations.

Porsche Taycan vs. Audi e-Tron GT: Performance

If you’re comparing the 2022 Porsche Taycan vs. Audi e-Tron GT, there’s a good chance that you only want to drive the best of the best. That being the case, you can’t afford to overlook the fact that the Porsche Taycan offers seven powertrain options where the e-Tron GT only offers two.

What’s more, the upper-level Taycan trims provide much more power than you can get on any e-Tron GT:

• The Taycan 4S delivers up to 522 hp, and 4S Cross Turismo models provide up to 562 hp. (The Taycan 4S can also deliver 562 with an upgrade.) Both powertrains beat out the standard e-Tron GT’s 469 hp.
• Taycan Turbo and Turbo Cross Turismo models offer up to 670 hp, notching wins against the most powerful e-Tron GT. The latter offers up to 637 hp.
• And of course, the Audi offers nothing that can compare to the range-topping powertrain on the Taycan Turbo S and Turbo S Cross Turismo. These models offer up to 750 hp and 774 lb-ft of torque—power that will revolutionize your Pasadena and Glendale drives.

Don’t let the range estimates fool you. The new Porsche Taycan currently holds the record for long-distance EV driving, having covered more than 2,800 miles while being plugged in for less than two and a half hours.

Porsche Taycan vs. Audi e-Tron GT: Cargo Space

Cargo space may not be at the top of your list, but if you’re going to use your EV for weekenders, day trips, and drives to the airport, you should choose the model that offers a higher capacity. Here, it’s really no contest:

• The Audi e-Tron GT offers just 9.2 cubic feet of cargo space, plus 1.8 cubic feet in the front trunk.
• With the Taycan, you’ll have 14.3 cubic feet in the rear, plus 2.9 cubic feet up front. Choose a CrossTurismo build to get even more space: up to 42.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat.

Both the Taycan and the e-Tron GT can seat up to four, but only the Taycan provide thrilling drives while accommodating gear and luggage for all your passengers.

Porsche Taycan vs. Audi e-Tron GT: Price & Value

You’ve already seen that the Taycan has what it takes to outperform its rival on Los Angeles and Arcadia highways—but what if you’re searching for a luxurious EV on a budget? Here as well, the Taycan shines, since its entry-level trim costs just $82,700 MSRP. The Audi e-Tron starts at $99,900 MSRP, which could translate to a higher monthly payment.

The Porsche includes a standard 16.8-inch digital gauge cluster, but you’ll need to spend even more to get a digital gauge cluster in the Audi. What’s more, the Porsche gets a standard 10.9-inch touchscreen, compared to just 10.1 inches in the e-Tron GT. If you’re hoping to achieve a distinctive look, you’ll also appreciate the extraordinary range of Porsche Taycan color options.
