2022-2026 Audi e-tron GT Reliability Score: 8.7 out of 10

Reliability Score

8.7 / 10

Reliability score

Fewer owner complaints than similar luxury EVs

The class average is 7.0. Based on complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the drive system, battery, charging or electrical system. Early evidence: under five years on the road.

Owners filed 17 powertrain complaints. A typical luxury EV fleet of this size and age would have drawn about 40.

Scores this high have held: three years on they had moved 0.2 points in the typical case.

Covers the 2022 to 2025 model years only (the generation ran 2022 to 2026).

Sample complaint excerpts

High-Voltage Battery

[2022] Purchased a used 2022 Audi E-Tron GT with an open NHTSA safety recall for high-voltage battery fire risk (Recall 24V726 / Audi 931A). The recall remedy had not been performed at time of purchase. The selling dealer completed a pre-delivery inspection two weeks prior to sale with full knowledge of the open recall. Within 7 weeks of purchase, the vehicle entered limited performance mode (turtle mode
[2023] While I was driving my Audi e-tron GT, the vehicle spontaneously caught fire. I believe the fire resulted from a catastrophic high-voltage battery failure, although the cause has not yet been confirmed. The fire created an immediate risk of injury to me and others nearby. I am reporting this as a serious safety concern.

12V Auxiliary Battery

[2023] The Audi e-tron GT contains a design defect where the 12v battery cannot be charged in the event it becomes depleted. The battery is stored in the front trunk, but this can only be opened when the car has electrical power - there is no manual release. This leaves the vehicle immobilized to the point it must be towed to a dealer using special equipment because the four wheel drive train is locked i

Source: classified from NHTSA complaint and recall data. "Battery-related" includes high-voltage propulsion battery, charging system, hybrid drivetrain, electric propulsion, regenerative braking, 12V auxiliary battery, and thermal-event complaints. Other complaints (suspension, steering, brakes, infotainment) appear in the engine and vehicle-level sections. Rates are absolute counts, not normalized per-VIN — high-volume models naturally produce more raw complaints than low-volume ones. Self-reported death and injury counts are capped per complaint to limit form abuse.

Known issues

High

Five NHTSA recalls cover a possible short circuit within the Taycan's high-voltage battery modules, a fire risk. 23V-840 (December 2023), 24V-215 and 24V-217 (March 2024) were followed in October 2024 by 24V-731, which replaces modules on 193 cars from 2020-2023, and 24V-732, which covers about 27,500 more Taycans and installs diagnostic software that watches the battery. Where an affected car is flagged, Porsche tells the owner to charge to no more than 80% until the battery is repaired, free of charge.

NHTSA recall

High

The Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT have the same defect. NHTSA 24V-228 and 24V-229 (March 2024, 2022-2024 models) limit charging to 80% until dealers replace battery modules, and 24V-726 (September 2024, about 6,500 cars) installs diagnostic software as the final remedy, free of charge.

NHTSA recall

Medium

NHTSA 23V-615 (Taycan) and 23V-613 (e-tron GT), both September 2023, cover 2023 cars whose high-voltage battery may have too little sealant, which can let liquid collect in the battery. Dealers test the battery for leaks and replace it as necessary, free of charge.
