Audi S e-tron GT
The Audi S e-tron GT is the new flagship Gran Turismo — 670 hp from an upgraded dual-motor 800V system, a 105 kWh battery with over 600 km range, and a new position above the RS e-tron GT.
Overview
The Audi S e-tron GT debuted in 2024 as part of a comprehensive refresh of the e-tron GT range, establishing a new naming hierarchy with the S e-tron GT placed above the previous RS e-tron GT. Built on the same J1 platform shared with the Porsche Taycan, the S e-tron GT receives a new and larger 105 kWh battery (versus the 93 kWh of the 2021 generation), upgraded electric motors producing 670 hp in overboost, and 800V charging now supporting up to 320 kW DC — a 10–80% charge in approximately 18 minutes at compatible infrastructure.
In Azerbaijan, the S e-tron GT is among the rarest and most exciting electric vehicles available for private import. Its larger battery (theoretically 600+ km WLTP range), higher charging speed, and increased power over the previous RS e-tron GT make it the most advanced J1-platform Gran Turismo yet offered. The 2024 refresh also brings significant interior updates including a new steering wheel, revised MMI software, and improved ambient lighting.
The S e-tron GT's real-world range in Baku conditions is expected at approximately 480–530 km — a meaningful improvement over the previous generation's 390–430 km. The increased charging speed (320 kW DC peak) further addresses the primary practical concern of high-performance EV ownership in Azerbaijan, where charging infrastructure remains limited but is developing. For buyers who want the absolute latest and most powerful J1 Gran Turismo from Audi, the S e-tron GT is the definitive 2024 choice.

Competitor Snapshot
| Model | Strength | Compromise |
|---|---|---|
| Porsche Taycan Turbo S (2024) | Porsche badge, slightly sharper Nürburgring focus | Higher price, same platform essentially |
| Tesla Model S Plaid | Trimotor (1,020 hp), longer range, Supercharger | Significantly less premium interior and refinement |
| Lucid Air Grand Touring | Longer range (560+ mi EPA), impressive technology | Very limited parts/service availability outside USA |
EV Ownership Estimator (Azerbaijan)
- Annual energy use: 3000 kWh
- Annual charging cost: $420
- Total yearly estimate: $7120
- Monthly average: $593
- The 320 kW DC charging capability is the fastest available on any Audi — but such infrastructure is currently very limited in Azerbaijan.
- Home charging via an 11 kW AC wallbox remains the primary charging method in Baku — a full charge from 20% takes approximately 8 hours overnight.
- Real-world range in Baku conditions (summer heat, AC active): approximately 480–530 km — a significant improvement over the first-generation e-tron GT.
- Tyre costs are considerable — 670 hp AWD performance will wear rear tyres aggressively under spirited driving.
- Battery warranty: confirm Audi's 8-year / 160,000 km high-voltage battery warranty applicability for 2024 models.
Maintenance & Service in Azerbaijan
- Annual service: brake inspection, tyre assessment, suspension check, and software update.
- Brake pads: expected 100,000+ km life due to dominant regenerative braking — inspect annually.
- Tyre rotation every 10,000 km — staggered tyre sizes require careful management.
- Coolant systems (battery thermal management and power electronics) annual check.
- Annual battery SOH assessment — the 2024 generation battery management is highly sophisticated.
- Active aerodynamic components (front shutters, rear spoiler) annual inspection.
- Cabin air filter annually — important in Baku's dusty environment.
Used S e-tron GT Buying Checklist
- Request battery SOH data — benchmark against manufacturer guidance for the new 2024 model.
- Test launch control — confirm 670 hp delivery is clean with no torque interruption.
- Verify all 2024-specific drive modes and confirm software version is current.
- Test AC charging at home wallbox speed (11 kW).
- Test DC charging at any 50+ kW CCS station accessible in Baku.
- Verify active rear spoiler deployment at speed (120+ km/h on a private road).
- Check all revised 2024 interior features — new steering wheel, MMI, and ambient lighting.
- Scan all vehicle control units for fault codes.
