New Audi e-tron GT

The design changes on the new 2024 e-tron GT are very subtle and hard to notice if you don’t own one. Audi has carried over the same styling for the most part as it is not old at all and seeing very few numbers on the road, the charm is still alive. A redesigned front bumper with a larger air intake, the blanked-off front grille is retained as it is and a new set of 20-inch standard alloy wheels towards the sides is part of the package. The RS Performance spec model gets some extra bells and whistles to enhance the overall sporty appeal.

Audi has updated the interior with redesigned seats, steering wheel, entry sills, and digital content. The light projection from the door has also been updated as well. When the driver’s door opens, a red diamond with a red shadow appears; the S version features a white diamond with a red shadow. New wooden inlays in natural linear anthracite birch are available for the e-tron GT family.

The new e-tron GT versions have a steering wheel flattened at the top and bottom. For the RS models, the steering wheel comes with two red control satellites and optionally with a 12 o’clock marking. The seats have also been upgraded. The S e-tron GT now comes as standard with the sports seats plus with 14-way adjustment. In combination with the leather-free design package, the sports seats come with contrasting orange stitching. For the RS models, the seats can be ordered by request with an optional massage function. The performance model has an exclusive new design package with Serpentine Green stitching to compliment the exterior Bedford Green finish, and seats with an optional 18-way adjustment.
