Audi e-tron GT: Price, Specs, Reviews in Ireland

The Audi e-tron GT proves that electric cars can deliver genuine driving excitement without the emissions compromise — but that thrill comes wrapped in a price tag that demands serious commitment from Irish buyers. Let’s walk through current pricing, what’s actually available on these shores, and how the e-tron GT stacks up against the alternatives Irish buyers are considering.

Starting Used Price in Ireland: €54,900 ·
Powertrain: All-electric Gran Turismo ·
Availability: New and used for sale ·
Models: e-tron GT quattro, S e-tron GT, RS ·
Key Feature: High charging capacity

Irish buyers can choose from three 2026 variants, each with distinct power and pricing characteristics that cater to different priorities.

How much does the Audi e-tron GT cost?

Audi Ireland’s official pricelist for model year 2026 lays out the numbers without much wiggle room. The e-tron GT quattro opens at €120,900 excluding delivery charges, making it a serious financial commitment whatever way you look at it. Stepping up to the S e-tron GT adds more performance punch at €109,925 — interestingly positioned below the quattro in this particular pricing structure, though both represent substantial five-figure outlays.

New vs used pricing

The used market tells a different story. Earlier e-tron GT models from previous years have drifted down toward the €54,900 mark for 2023-vintage cars, according to Irish classifieds. That’s a significant discount from the new car figures, though you’re buying a model that’s already taken its initial depreciation hit. For buyers who want the e-tron GT experience without the full €120k+ sticker, the pre-registered and ex-demo channels are worth watching.

Factors affecting cost

• Delivery and registration charges add to the base price
• Optional extras (carbon fibre, advanced audio, larger wheels) routinely push as-tested prices €30,000–€50,000 above base
• No SEAI grant available at this price level — the scheme doesn’t extend to vehicles costing over the threshold where e-tron GT sits
• Annual motor tax comes in at just €120 thanks to 0 g/km CO2 emissions — a genuine running cost win

How much is the Audi e-tron GT in Ireland?

Irish buyers have several channels to purchase the e-tron GT, each with its own pricing quirks. The official route runs through Audi Ireland’s configurator, which shows current availability and delivers the priciest but most personalised outcome. On the retail side, Carzone.ie lists the 105 kWh quattro at €120,900, matching the official pricelist, with the RS Performance Quattro ringing in at €177,650 according to Carzone.ie.

Current listings

DoneDeal.ie and Carzone.ie both carry e-tron GT stock ranging from earlier 350 kW models at the lower end through to RS variants in the €160,000 territory. Cars.ie has a 2026 e-tron GT quattro listed at €142,950 with special colour and black pack, 469 BHP — representing a configured example rather than a stripper base model.

Import and tax considerations

Importing from the UK or other markets is technically possible but brings VRT calculations and potential duty adjustments into the picture. Given the e-tron GT’s premium positioning, most Irish buyers are sticking with the official Irish market route where everything is already compliance-tested and warranty-backed through the Irish dealer network.

Is the Audi e-tron GT any good?

The driving dynamics answer is straightforward: yes, the e-tron GT is genuinely impressive on the road. The Irish Times called it “expensive but brilliant, staggeringly desirable” — language that doesn’t get deployed lightly from that particular masthead. The quattro hits 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds with boost mode engaged, and the RS variant drops that to 3.6 seconds while serving up 645 hp from its dual-motor setup.

Performance reviews

The AA Ireland tested the RS e-tron GT and came away impressed by its combination of outright performance and daily usability. The air suspension soaks up Irish road surfaces while the Quattro all-wheel drive puts power down without drama. Top speed sits at 250 km/h for the RS — more than you’ll legally use but the point stands about what this platform can deliver.

Pros and cons

Was the e-tron GT discontinued?

No — the e-tron GT remains firmly in production and available to order. There’s sometimes confusion because the separate Q8 e-tron (a different vehicle altogether) received a farewell edition in certain markets. The e-tron GT line, by contrast, got a comprehensive update for model year 2026 with the larger 97 kWh battery, increased peak charging speed, and fresh trim levels. Audi.ie shows the current range live with online configuration available.

Current production status

Audi has been gradually ramping output, with earlier production delays from the initial launch period now resolved. The 2026 models are flowing into the Irish market, with Cars.ie listing a 2026 quattro as recently listed and the official pricelist covering the full current range.

Confusion with Q8 e-tron

The Q8 e-tron SUV received discontinuation notices — that’s the full-electric SUV with the older 85 kWh battery that appeared in earlier model years. It shares the e-tron name but sits in a different market segment entirely. If you’re seeing references to an e-tron being discontinued, double-check whether it’s the GT (saloon/coupe) or the Q8 (SUV) — they are distinct products with different timelines.

Is Audi better than BMW?

It’s the wrong question, really. What matters is which electric Audi delivers more value for your specific situation. Against the new BMW M5 plug-in hybrid, the S e-tron GT undercuts on price while being faster and running purely on electrons — CompleteCar.ie noted it costs roughly the same as the BMW but “the Audi is faster and is entirely electric.” For Irish buyers who want zero-emission motoring without compromise on performance, that argument holds significant weight.

Electric models matchup

Three premium electric options compete for Irish buyer attention, each with distinct positioning in the market.

Luxury features

The RS model comes with Matrix LED lights and a Bang & Olufsen sound system as standard equipment, according to CompleteCar.ie — equipment that would cost thousands as options on lesser vehicles. The panoramic sunroof and frameless doors give it the visual presence of a proper sports car while maintaining four-door practicality. Whether that justifies the premium over a well-equipped Tesla is the calculation each buyer has to run.

That sounds almost reasonable. It is close to the same price as that of the new BMW M5, yet the Audi is faster and is entirely electric.

— CompleteCar.ie Reviewer (Automotive Journalist)

Expensive but brilliant, staggeringly desirable electric car.

— Irish Times Reviewer (Motors Editor)

Yes, it is ludicrously expensive.

— The AA Reviewer (Car Reviewer)

For buyers who can afford the entry price and resist the options list, the e-tron GT delivers a driving experience that no other Audi sold in Ireland can match.
