Our review of the Audi e-tron GT
The Audi e-tron GT shares its J1 platform with the Porsche Taycan. That's not a marketing footnote — it's why its DC charging peaks at 270 kW and why 10 to 80% takes 18 minutes on an Ionity HPC. The manufacturer figure is 598 km WLTP. The real-world figure is 430 to 460 km in mixed use. At €113,000, this isn't a rational purchase: it's an electric grand tourer for a driver who wants sports-car performance plus the range to reach Geneva from Brussels on a single charge.
Driving & comfort
On the E40 motorway at 120 km/h, the e-tron GT is quiet, stable and eats up the miles. The adaptive air suspension soaks up rough surfaces without giving up cornering precision. In Sport mode the steering firms up and the 0-100 in 3.4 s becomes tangible. This is not a family saloon: rear headroom is tight, and the 405-litre boot is fine for a couple's weekends away, not for four people with luggage. Consumption at motorway speed sits around 22 kWh/100 km — acceptable for 2,340 kg.
Daily charging
The 800V architecture is the e-tron GT's concrete strength. On an Ionity 350 kW charger — found at the Verlaine (E42), Daussoulx (E411) and Bierset (E40) service areas — the car accepts up to 270 kW at peak. In practice, 10 to 80% takes about 18 minutes. In a 10-minute charge you recover roughly 115 km of real range. On an 11 kW home wallbox, a full charge (105 kWh) takes about 10 hours — one to schedule overnight.
Total cost of ownership
At €113,000, the entry ticket is steep. For a Belgian company, 100% deductibility applies in 2026 — a significant tax advantage on this sum. The benefit-in-kind (ATN, the taxable value of company-car use) is calculated on the list price, which is far from trivial here. Over 5 years at 25,000 km/year, consumption at 22 kWh/100 km and €0.28/kWh works out to roughly €0.062/km — versus €0.14/km for an equivalent high-end diesel. Residual values for the e-tron GT are stable on the Belgian market as things stand.
- 800V architecture, 270 kW DC: 10→80% in 18 min on Ionity — the best charging-time-to-range ratio in the Audi range
- 460 km real-world in mixed use: Brussels–Paris–Lyon with no charging stop in between
- Porsche Taycan platform: proven build quality, road manners and electronic reliability
- Belgian company deductibility of 100% in 2026 on €113,000: a structuring tax advantage
- €113,000 minimum: niche market, realistically reachable only via company leasing or structured financing
- 405-litre boot: not enough for a family of 4 with weekend luggage
- 2,340 kg: accelerated tyre wear (budget a full set of tyres every 30,000 km if you drive it hard)
- Fastback silhouette: limited rear headroom, awkward access for tall passengers
Our verdictThe e-tron GT is Audi's most accomplished proposition in terms of charging technology and road behaviour. If your use is grand touring — long European trips, performance, brand image — and Belgian company taxation is in your favour, it's a coherent choice. For families or private buyers, the use-to-price ratio doesn't stack up against a Q6 e-tron at €74,900.
A Belgian director or professional on company leasing, regular long European trips, drawn to performance and grand-touring design. The 100% deductibility in 2026 makes it a relevant tax case.
A family looking for space, a private buyer with no company tax advantage, or a driver whose main use is urban or suburban.

Audi e-tron GT in Belgium — what you need to know
Typical Belgian trips
With 460 real km, the e-tron GT covers Brussels–Ardennes (≈ 260 km return) without charging, Brussels–Coast (≈ 220 km return) without charging.
Tax benefit
For self-employed and companies, this model is 100% tax-deductible in 2026 (last year at this rate). No direct purchase grant for individuals. Road tax is greatly reduced for this EV.
Home charging
With 11 kW AC, a full charge from 20% takes approximately 8 hours on an 11 kW wallbox. On a 230V plug (2.3 kW): about 37 hours. Overnight charging easily covers the average 50–80 km/day.
Frequently asked questions — Audi e-tron GT
What is the real-world range of the Audi e-tron GT?
The Audi e-tron GT is rated at 598 km WLTP under official conditions. In real Belgian conditions — motorway at 120 km/h, 10°C, air conditioning on — expect between 430 and 460 km. Driven hard or at 130 km/h, it drops to 380–400 km. That's enough for Brussels–Paris (320 km) with no charging stop. For Brussels–Barcelona (1,400 km), plan on 2 stops of 20 minutes at the Ionity HPC chargers along the route.
What is the charging power of the e-tron GT?
The e-tron GT accepts up to 270 kW on DC (direct current) charging, thanks to its 800V architecture shared with the Porsche Taycan. On an Ionity 350 kW charger it charges at full power — 10 to 80% in about 18 minutes. In 10 minutes you recover roughly 115 km of real range. On AC at home (11 kW wallbox), a full charge of the 105 kWh battery takes about 10 hours.
Audi e-tron GT or Porsche Taycan: which should you pick?
Both cars share exactly the same J1 platform, the same 800V architecture and identical batteries. The Porsche Taycan starts around €95,000 (Sport Turismo) for equivalent or better performance. The e-tron GT makes sense if you prefer the four-rings design, or if Audi's deductibility fits your tax structure better. On pure technical grounds, the difference is marginal. The Taycan benefits from a slightly denser service network in Belgium.
Is the Audi e-tron GT 100% deductible for a Belgian company?
Yes. In 2026, fully electric vehicles bought or leased by a Belgian company qualify for 100% deductibility of business expenses. For an e-tron GT at €113,000, that's a substantial tax advantage compared with an equivalent combustion or hybrid model. The benefit-in-kind (ATN) for the user is calculated on the list price. From 2027, the deductibility rate starts to taper down gradually under the tax reform in force.
What is the difference between the Audi e-tron GT and the RS e-tron GT?
The e-tron GT (or S e-tron GT in the updated naming) puts out 476 kW (647 hp) in boost mode, with a 0-100 in 3.4 seconds and DC charging up to 270 kW. The RS e-tron GT climbs to 630 kW (856 hp), 0-100 in 2.8 seconds, and charges up to 320 kW DC — which allows 10 to 80% in 15 minutes. The e-tron GT starts at €113,000, the RS e-tron GT at €165,000. The difference is real when driving hard, but marginal in real-world range (~5 km).
Is the e-tron GT suitable for long family trips?
For two adults, the e-tron GT is an excellent grand tourer: 460 km real-world, 270 kW charging, very high motorway comfort. For 4 people with luggage it's tighter: the 405-litre boot fills up fast, and rear headroom is limited for passengers over 1.80 m. If your regular use involves 4 people and their bags, an SUV like the Q6 e-tron (529 L boot, 481 km real-world) is better suited, and €38,000 cheaper.
