Zero-emission ratings mean that both EVs sit in the lowest Benefit-in-Kind band. Things get more tempting for company car drivers. To match that in a petrol car with fuel costs of £1.35 per litre, you’d need a model to achieve 123mpg. The 2.9-mile/kWh figure we managed would be good for a 243-mile range between top-ups.Ĭharge at home at the average UK electricity rate (roughly 14p per kWh), and that means it’ll cost just under £1,000 per year to cover 20,000 miles. At best, the Audi showed 251 miles of range at 99 per cent charge. Town driving would probably deliver closer to the official 298-mile range. Motorway driving yielded efficiency of roughly 2.4 miles per kilowatt hour, which would result in a range of just over 200 miles. Out in the real world, we found that driving style and conditions were much more likely to affect the Audi’s efficiency. It scored a maximum five-star rating for safety.īuyers will find both cars an absolute bargain to run compared with similarly luxurious combustion cars.

On the plus side, the vertical wireless charging slot in the centre console is very neat, and other storage for smaller items is more generous than in the Taycan.ĮURO NCAP has yet to assess the e-tron GT yet, but it’s entirely reasonable to assume that it’ll score very similarly to the Taycan. Foot room under the front seats is very limited. Yet those over six feet tall might feel a little cramped – the price you pay for such a low roofline. The back seats are very comfortable and supportive, and leg and headroom are okay for adults. The rear seats fold down in a 40:20:40 split, giving the opportunity to load longer items through the narrow central opening. That’s useful, given that the fairly compact 405-litre load bay at the back has minimal underfloor storage. Both cars boast an extra 84 litres under the nose, which is perfect for storing charging cables. One of the benefits of the motors’ compact packaging is that there’s a boot at both ends.
