Audi expands the e-tron GT family for 2025 with three new models

Audi's 2025 e-tron GT lineup gives buyers three blends of luxury and performance

By

Audi S e-tron GT quattro, RS e-tron GT, and RS e-tron GT Performance..
Audi EV sales are going so well that the company just announced an expanded lineup for the 2025 Audi e-tron GT family. Audi’s 2024 lineup included the Audi e-tron GT Quattro, which Audi introduced in 2021. For 2025, however, EV buyers can choose from the Audi S e-tron GT, the Audi RS e-tron GT, and the Audi RSe-tron GT performance. That last variant, Audi’s first BEV performance model, puts out 912 horsepower.

Why Audi’s e-tron GT models matter

This year is turning out to be tricky for all-electric vehicle development as Toyota continues to boost the practical aspects of hybrids, GM cuts back planned EV production, and Ford makes the case for gas, hybrid, and BEV powertrains of different target markets. However, Audi isn’t the only company doing well with EVs, as BMW sets U.S. sales records due to its EV models. Audi’s Q-series SUV e-tron models get a lot of notice, but going big and expanding its all-electric sedan lineup with the three e-tron GTs is a bold move. This strategy could be used by Audi to make a statement, except the automaker began the fiscal year happy with the profits from EVs.

It’s beyond the scope of this news article to get very deep into the common feature set of Audi’s 2025 e-tron GT series and the factors that make each variant unique. The 2025 e-tron GTs will all have new suspensions to mitigate comfort and performance, as well as platform-wide improvements in range and charging.

According to Audi, the Audi S e-tron GT balances elegance and sportiness. It has a combined 670 horsepower from its front and rear axle motors and can go from 0-to-100 km/h (62.2 mph) in 3.4 seconds. The RS e-tron GT leans more toward the sporty side of the equation, with 844 combined horsepower and a 0-to-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. The RS e-tron GT performance model puts its 912 hp down for a 2.5-second trip to 100 km/h.

The new e-tron GTs will also benefit from greater range and faster charging thanks to the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture jointly developed by Audi and Porsche. Audi states the e-tron GT will have a range of up to 378 miles, based on the WLTP European rating system, and can regain up to 174 miles of range with just 10 minutes of charging.

Customers can order the 2025 Audi e-tron GT models now. U.S. pricing is not yet available, but the dollar equivalent starting prices for the three e-tron GT variants are:

  • 2025 Audi S e-tron GT, $135,289
  • 2025 Audi RS e-tron GT, $158,393
  • 2025 Audi RS e-tron GT performance, $172,353

Alpine announced new Hypertech center, will stop making F1 engines after 2025
Renault is done with making F1 engines, for now

Alpine's F1 team is about to change. Renault's Alpine performance and sports car division announced Hypertech Alpine, an engineering center that develops tech innovations and ultra-high-performance cars. Alpine will cease developing new engines for F1 race cars but reassign all affected personnel to new positions within Alpine Hypertech. The bottom line is that Alpine will no longer be an F1 engine supplier.
Why Alpine is  dropping out as an F1 engine supplier
Alpine did not explain why the company decided to cease F1 engine development. The decision may have been influenced by the new engine technical regulations that will change many aspects of F1 race cars beginning in 2026, including burning biofuel instead of petroleum fuels and increasing the electrical power contribution to the current F1 powertrain specification.

The Alpine Renault F1 team is in ninth place in Constructors'  Championship points at this writing. Still, this season's race record isn't as likely to be the cause of change as the company's focus shifts to specific innovations rather than devoting vast resources to F1 race cars.

Audi releases pricing and specs for Q6 E-tron
Nine models to choose from with Audi's mid-size all-electric SUV

Audi announced the prices for the Q6 e-tron battery-electric vehicle (BEV) SUVs. The entry-level Q6 e-tron Premium RWD model, which has an impressive 321-mile EPA-estimated range, starts at $65,095, including destination and delivery fees. Buyers can now order a Q6 e-tron with the Audi USA model configurator for deliveries that will begin before the end of the year.
Why the Audi Q6 e-tron matters

The Audi Q6 e-tron is the sweet spot for Audi's fast-growing BEV lineup.  Audi has already introduced the Q4 e-tron compact crossover and the larger Q8 e-tron models. The Q6 e-tron is more than just a place-filler in the model lineup, however, because the Q6 will directly compete with popular BEVs from other brands, including the BMW iX, Tesla Model Y, Jaguar I-Pace, and Mustang Mach-E. As Audi continues to build the luxury-performance brand, the Q6 e-tron line is a key segment.

VW releases 2025 Jetta and Jetta GLI starting prices: Two models are gone.

VW released the starting prices for the restyled and updated 2025 Jetta and Jetta GLI. Volkswagen followed up on its earlier promise that the 2025 Jetta would have a lower starting price than the previous model year's cost with an automatic transmission. VW added value to both models, but what's missing?

The 2025 Jetta S with an automatic transmission starts at $23,220, including delivery and destination fees, $40 less than a comparable 2024 model. The 2025 Jetta GLI Autobahn, with either manual or automatic transmission, also with fees, starts at $33,940, $930 more than the 2024 Jetta Autobahn it replaces.
So what's missing?
