Login2025 Audi e-tron GT Is $19,000 Pricier But Much Faster This Year
- Audi’s refreshed 2025 RS e-tron GT Performance delivers 912 HP and hits 60 mph in 2.4 seconds.

Some five months after its online unveiling, the 2025 Audi e-tron GT range has launched in the US, and while it’s technically only a mid-life facelift, the car’s starting price has jumped significantly.
In certain markets, the new car will be sold in standard S e-tron GT, RS e-tron GT, and RS e-tron GT Performance guises, although the US will only get the entry-level model and the flagship. Prices for the standard model now start at $125,500, a hefty premium over the $106,500 commanded by the pre-facelift model, excluding a $1,295 destination and delivery fee.

Fortunately, for the extra cash, you’re also getting a significant performance boost. The new S e-tron GT delivers 670 hp which is more than what the old flagship $147k RS e-tron GT offered. The new model also features an improved air suspension system that’s even more advanced than the old one, capable of actively managing body movements to keep the chassis level. The range of this new variant is also much higher than its predecessor, sitting at 300 miles (483 km) compared to 249 miles (400 km). This extra range has been achieved with the fitment of a bigger 105 kWh battery whereas the old car had a 93.4 kWh pack.
Straight-line performance has been approved, too, with just 3.3 seconds required for the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in the S e-tron GT, 0.6 seconds faster than the old model.
Then there’s the range-topping RS e-tron GT Performance. It delivers an impressive 912 hp compared to the 637 hp of the old range-topper, allowing it to rocket to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 2.4 seconds. This makes it the quickest-accelerating production Audi ever. The carmaker hasn’t released a range figure for this model but says it will exceed that of both 2024 models.
Fittingly, the prices of the RS e-tron GT Performance are quite a bit higher than the outgoing model. It starts at $167,000 or $19,900 more than the 2024 RS e-tron GT. Both 2025 models are now available to order through US Audi retailers, and deliveries should start next year.
