Edmunds and KBB compare specs. We compare the three things that actually move dollars over the ownership cycle.
These two share their charging figures, a 320 kW peak and an 18-minute 10-80% time in our data, so the comparison comes down to how each lineup is cut. Audi's current US e-tron GT lineup spans two model years: the 2026 S e-tron GT at $127,700 and the 2027 RS e-tron GT performance at $170,500, before destination. Porsche's 2026 Taycan runs from $111,900 to $243,700 across the seven versions in our table. The Taycan is the cheaper way in: the rear-drive base car costs $15,800 less than the S e-tron GT. Against the nearest Taycan above it in price, though, the Audi is ahead on the numbers: the S e-tron GT costs $4,100 less than the Taycan 4S and lists a quicker 0-60 (3.3 seconds against 3.5) and more range (294 to 300 miles against 252). At the top, Porsche goes further than Audi does, up to the 2.2-second Taycan Turbo GT. Buy the Audi for all-wheel-drive pace and range for the money; buy the Taycan for the cheapest entry or the widest choice of versions.
Lineups, model years and price
Audi of America's 2027 price list includes only the RS e-tron GT performance ($170,500, plus $1,395 destination), so the S e-tron GT ($127,700, plus $1,295) is sold as a 2026 model. EPA has certified a 2027 S e-tron GT, but Audi hasn't priced one in the US. The 2026 Taycan starts with a rear-drive model at $111,900, then the Taycan 4 ($116,000), 4S ($131,800), GTS ($157,000), Turbo ($184,600), Turbo S ($221,400) and Turbo GT ($243,700). The S e-tron GT sits between the Taycan 4 and 4S on price, and the RS e-tron GT performance costs $14,100 less than the Taycan Turbo and $13,500 more than the GTS.
Performance and range
Audi estimates 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds for the 670-hp S e-tron GT (with launch control) and 2.4 seconds for the 912-hp RS (in boost mode). The Taycan runs from 4.5 seconds (base) to 2.2 (Turbo GT), with the 4S at 3.5, the Turbo at 2.5 and the 938-hp Turbo S at 2.3. On range, EPA rates the S e-tron GT at 294 to 300 miles, more than any Taycan in our table (the GTS leads Porsche's lineup at 293), while the RS is rated at 278. EPA's efficiency ratings are close: 38 kWh/100 mi for the S e-tron GT against 37 for the base Taycan and 38 for the 4S.
Charging, seats and ownership
Both use CCS1 ports and reach Tesla Superchargers through an adapter. Porsche includes its NACS DC adapter with new 2026 Taycans; Audi sold 2025 e-tron GTs with its adapter port-installed and hasn't said whether 2027 cars include one, so confirm it on the car you buy. Our table lists 18 minutes from 10 to 80% for both, and both peak at 320 kW. Audi lists the e-tron GT as a five-passenger car, and our Taycan rows list four seats. Our ownership data covers only the Taycan: 77.8% of MSRP retained by a two-year-old 2024 car, and an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty with a graduated capacity floor down to 70%. Audi's 2027 RS specifications list 8 years/100,000 miles with a 70% capacity floor.
