Audi e tron GT used: buying guide and depreciation
Audi e tron GT used buying guide: battery warranty, 800-volt charging, common checks, Porsche Taycan comparison and how fast values drop.
· 6 min read
A used Audi e tron GT loses value quickly in its first years: cars that started at €99,800 in Germany in 2021 were advertised at a median of about €55,000 in October 2026. That makes the e-tron GT a cheaper route into Porsche Taycan technology. Before buying, check the battery warranty and health, charging, air suspension and brakes, and price it against both e-tron GTs and Taycans.
What is the Audi e-tron GT?
The Audi e-tron GT is a four-door electric gran turismo that shares its J1 platform, 800-volt electrical architecture and much of its drivetrain with the Porsche Taycan. It went on sale in spring 2021 as the e-tron GT quattro and the more powerful RS e-tron GT.
Key facts for the pre-facelift car:
- Battery: 93.4 kWh gross.
- Charging: 800-volt system, DC charging at up to 270 kW in good conditions.
- Drive: two motors and quattro four-wheel drive.
- Price new: €99,800 for the e-tron GT quattro in Germany at launch.
In 2024 Audi updated the car with a larger battery of around 105 kWh gross, more power and faster charging. The e-tron GT has not been discontinued; the facelifted car continues the line.
How quickly does the Audi e-tron GT depreciate?
The Audi e-tron GT depreciates quickly in its first three to four years, in line with other expensive electric cars. According to listings tracked by MyCarDealer in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Poland, France, Austria and Spain in October 2026:
| Model and years | Listings | Median asking price | Middle half of prices | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| e-tron GT (incl. RS), 2021–2023 | 424 | €55,330 | €49,950–62,997 | 49,791 km |
| e-tron GT, 2021 | 111 | €56,000 | €48,911–62,997 | 53,000 km |
| Porsche Taycan, 2020–2022 | 488 | €62,000 | €56,990–69,000 | 63,442 km |
Medians mix e-tron GT quattro and RS e-tron GT versions, so compare the exact version before bidding. Country differences are noticeable: 2021–2023 cars asked a median of €52,999 in Germany (107 listings), €54,795 in the Netherlands (105), €62,997 in Belgium (88) and €58,950 in Austria (30).
Measured against the €99,800 starting price of the base car, the 2021 median is about 44% lower. Because the sample also includes the more expensive RS versions and cars with costly options, the real loss against each car's original price is larger.

Know your margin before you buy
MyCarDealer compares any car from an auction or listing with the market in your country and shows the net margin after VAT, transport and costs – and the maximum bid.
Request accessWhy are e-tron GTs so cheap?
E-tron GTs look cheap because buyers of expensive used EVs are few, many cars came from company fleets and leasing, and new-EV prices and incentives changed while these cars were on the road. High-performance EVs also face competition from newer models with more range and faster charging.
For dealers, the key point is that most of the steep part of the curve is already behind 2021 and 2022 cars. Depreciation still continues, so stock should not sit for months.
What is the battery warranty on the e-tron GT?
The high-voltage battery of the e-tron GT is covered by Audi for 8 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first. A 2021 car is therefore still covered until 2029 if it is within the mileage limit, which is a strong selling point.
Check the following:
- Warranty conditions. Read the exact terms, including the minimum capacity guaranteed and any service requirements.
- First registration date. The warranty runs from the date the car was first registered.
- Service history. Missed services can complicate warranty claims.
- State of health. A battery test gives buyers confidence. See our EV battery health check guide.
How does it compare with a used Porsche Taycan?
A used e-tron GT is usually cheaper than a comparable Taycan while offering similar technology, battery and charging. In October 2026 listings, 2020–2022 Taycans had a median of €62,000 against €55,330 for 2021–2023 e-tron GTs, despite the Audis being younger and having lower mileage.
| Factor | Audi e-tron GT | Porsche Taycan |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | J1, 800 volts | J1, 800 volts |
| Drive | Always quattro | Rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive |
| Market price | Lower | Higher, stronger brand pull |
| Buyers | Tech-minded premium buyers | Porsche enthusiasts and premium buyers |
| Versions | Fewer, simpler to compare | Many versions and option packs |
The Taycan has more buyers in the enthusiast market and a wider range of versions, which makes valuing it more complicated. Our guide to the used Porsche Taycan covers its specific checks.
What should I check before buying an e-tron GT?
Check the battery, charging, suspension, brakes, tyres and software before buying a used e-tron GT. Repairs on these components are expensive, and most buyers will expect the car to be perfect.
- Battery and warranty. Get a state-of-health report and confirm the warranty terms.
- DC charging. Test fast charging at a high-power charger; the car should reach high charging power with a warm battery.
- AC charging. Check the on-board charger, both charging flaps and the cables.
- Air suspension. If fitted, check ride height after standing and listen for the compressor.
- Brakes. Check whether the car has steel, tungsten-carbide-coated or carbon-ceramic discs; the latter are very expensive to replace. Corroded discs are common on EVs that brake mostly by regeneration.
- Tyres. Performance tyres wear quickly and cost a lot; budget for a set if the tread is low.
- Software and recalls. Ask an Audi workshop to check open campaigns and software updates for the VIN.
- Bodywork and wheels. Low-profile tyres and large wheels are easily damaged on kerbs.
How to price a used e-tron GT
Price a used e-tron GT against cars of the same version (quattro or RS), year, mileage and options in your market, and keep an eye on Taycan prices as a ceiling. With so few buyers, the price has to be right from day one.
MyCarDealer finds comparable cars in current listings in your country, calculates the weighted median and the margin after VAT, transport and preparation, and shows the maximum bid at auction.
