Overview

2023 Audi RS e-tron GT

The 2023 Audi RS e-tron GT offers blistering acceleration and a luxurious cabin, hallmarks of Audi's performance division. However, for the used car shopper, its 'Below Average' reliability rating and a significant number of recalls, particularly concerning the braking and electrical systems, warrant careful consideration. A high TSB count suggests a complex vehicle with numerous technical updates. While consumer complaints are absent, the underlying issues highlighted by recalls and TSBs point to potential ownership challenges and repair costs.

Critical Failure Risk

Multiple recalls address potential defects in the traction battery system, including issues with sealant, module integrity, and thermal management. These can lead to reduced range, charging problems, or, in severe cases, safety concerns.

Early detection can help you avoid a $5,000-$20,000 repair.
