Quick Answer: The 2026 Audi S e-tron GT at a Glance
The 2026 Audi S e-tron GT is Audi's electric performance liftback, sold in two trims: Premium Plus at $127,700 MSRP and Prestige at $137,000, both before the $1,395 destination charge. Dual electric motors make 670 horsepower with launch control, quattro® all-wheel drive channels it through a 2-speed transmission, and Audi quotes 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds with launch control engaged. The 105 kWh battery (about 97 kWh usable) is EPA-rated for 300 miles on the standard 20-inch wheels, and 800V architecture lets it take a public DC fast charge from 10% to 80% in roughly 18 minutes. New for 2026: standard all-wheel steering on every car. It's on the floor at Audi Queens, 30-35 College Point Blvd in Flushing.
Total price, including every dealer-imposed charge: $129,270 all in for the S e-tron GT Premium Plus. That total includes the $1,395 destination charge and the $175 documentation fee (an optional dealer charge, not a New York State or DMV fee) on top of a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $127,700; it excludes state and local taxes, title, registration, and any optional equipment.
The Audi that skips the merge-lane math entirely
Every Queens driver who's fed a car onto the Van Wyck at rush hour knows the calculation: how much gap is really there, and how much engine do you need to close it before the guy in the next lane closes it for you. The S e-tron GT removes the variable. Electric motors don't wait for a turbo to spool or a transmission to hunt for the right gear — the torque is simply there, all 670 horsepower of it under launch control, and the gap you were eyeing is already behind you. It's the same trick that makes a Tesla feel quick off the line, wrapped in an Audi cabin, an Audi badge, and genuine sport-sedan chassis tuning that a lot of EVs still can't match.
What makes the S e-tron GT more than a drag-strip party trick is the rest of the package. Standard all-wheel steering is new for 2026, tightening the turning circle for a Long Island City garage ramp while adding stability at highway speed on the Whitestone. The low-slung battery pack sits under the floor, which means a center of gravity closer to the pavement than almost anything else in the segment. And because it's electric, there's no oil to change, no premium-fuel bill, and a home-charging routine that turns "filling up" into something that happens overnight in a Flushing driveway rather than at a pump. See both sides of that equation in person at Audi Queens.

670 horsepower, one battery, two very different ways to spend it
Standard all-wheel steering is new for 2026.
The mechanical story is identical across both trims. Dual electric motors combine for 670 hp with launch control engaged, sent to all four wheels through Audi's e-torque vectoring plus system, which meters power axle-by-axle for grip in whatever the road offers — wet pavement, a cold February morning, or a pothole-scarred lane on the Grand Central. A 2-speed transmission on the rear axle helps the car do two contradictory things well: launch hard and still cruise efficiently at highway speed. Audi's own number is 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds with launch control; that's supercar territory from a four-door that seats five comfortably.
The battery is a 105 kWh pack (roughly 97 kWh usable once you account for the buffer Audi reserves for longevity), and the EPA rates the standard 20-inch-wheel car at 300 miles combined — 91 city, 88 highway, 90 combined MPGe. Order the available 21-inch wheels and the number dips slightly to 294 miles, the honest tradeoff for a sportier look and a wider contact patch. Either way, this is a car built for the 800V charging era: up to 320 kW at a public DC fast charger takes the battery from 10% to 80% in about 18 minutes, and two separate charging ports — AC on the driver's side, AC/DC Level 3 on the passenger side — make plugging in flexible whether you're at a Manhattan garage or a Long Island driveway.
What every 2026 S e-tron GT includes
Both trims start from a genuinely well-equipped base. Standard across the lineup: the Audi virtual cockpit plus, a customizable 12.3-inch digital instrument display; a Bang & Olufsen® 3D sound system; the LED Interior lighting plus package, with adjustable color schemes and intensity; a Dinamica-wrapped steering wheel with Carbon atlas matte inlays and stainless steel pedal caps; the S design front bumper with large air inlets and standard 20-inch wheels; and Audi pre sense® front and rear collision-avoidance sensing. Every car also gets the enhanced e-tron sport sound plus, an adjustable synthesized soundtrack that gives an otherwise silent powertrain some acoustic personality — and comfort pre-conditioning through the myAudi app, so the cabin is warm (or cool) before you ever touch the door handle on a January morning in Flushing.
What buyers say about Audi Queens' EV lineup
Audi Queens carries a 4.5-star Google rating across more than 1,250 reviews, and the store's electric-Audi customers show up in them by name. Jeff M., who bought a Q4 e-tron through specialist Patricia Tirado, wrote: "She's knowledgeable, straightforward, and actually listens to what you're looking for instead of just trying to close a deal... If you're shopping for an Audi ask for Patricia." On the higher-performance side of the e-tron GT family, one recent lessee of the related RS e-tron GT — Audi's top-output GT performance model — described the showroom itself: "The showroom of Queens Audi has a direct view of the Manhattan skyline, adding to the elegance of the environment." (That review covers the RS trim rather than the S; we've flagged it here for the buying experience it describes, not as a spec reference for this car.)
Audi Queens, College Point Blvd, Flushing.
The showroom works in English, Spanish, and Mandarin, and the same Flushing address houses Audi financing, factory-certified service (including EV-specific diagnostics), genuine parts, and a collision center, serving Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, and Long Island.
Frequently asked questions: 2026 Audi S e-tron GT
Is the S e-tron GT fully electric?
Yes. There's no gasoline engine, no hybrid system, and no plug-in-only-part-time compromise — the S e-tron GT is a dual-motor, battery-electric performance car from the ground up, built on the same 800V architecture as the related RS e-tron GT and Porsche Taycan.
What is the range of the S e-tron GT?
The EPA rates it at 300 miles combined on the standard 20-inch wheels, or 294 miles with the available 21-inch wheels. Real-world range varies with temperature, speed, and driving style — cold-weather range in a New York winter will typically run below the EPA estimate, as it does for every EV.
Are Audi e-tron GT models good cars?
By the numbers, yes — 670 hp, all-wheel drive, sub-3.5-second acceleration, and 300 miles of EPA range in a genuinely luxurious cabin is a rare combination. The honest framing is that it competes with some of the best electric performance cars on the market, and the fairest comparison is a back-to-back test drive against whatever else is on your list.
Why is the (regular) e-tron discontinued?
That question usually refers to the original Audi e-tron SUV, which Audi discontinued and replaced with the Q8 e-tron. The e-tron GT liftback — the car on this page, sold as S e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT — is a separate nameplate that continues into the 2026 model year with updates like standard all-wheel steering.
How much does a 2026 Audi S e-tron GT cost?
$127,700 MSRP for the Premium Plus or $137,000 for the Prestige, both plus the $1,395 destination charge. The Queens pricing & leasing guide breaks down New York taxes and fees, and current offers live on the Audi Queens specials page. Federal and New York State EV incentive rules change; Audi Queens' own EV tax-credit explainer is a useful starting point — see the Audi EV tax credit guide.
Where can I test drive one in Queens?
At Audi Queens in Flushing — check live inventory or book a test drive. Showroom hours run Monday-Thursday 9-6 and Friday-Saturday 9-5, and the sales floor works in English, Spanish, and Mandarin.
The performance EV that still feels like an Audi
The S e-tron GT's pitch is simple: keep everything that makes an Audi feel like an Audi — the cabin, the chassis feel, the badge — and swap the drivetrain for one that answers the on-ramp question before you've finished asking it. Read the Premium Plus guide for the base-trim detail, the Prestige guide for the loaded version, the pricing & leasing guide for the Queens math, and the service & repair guide for what EV ownership actually looks like day to day.
