As promised in a tease two months ago, the refreshed Audi E-Tron GT is out for the European market. And as expected, the upgrades track with those seen on the refreshed Porsche Taycan that sits on the same J1 platform as the Audi. Every E-Tron GT gets a battery pack that's grown from a usable 84 kWh to 97 kWh (105 kWh gross). An improved chemistry along with mechanical improvements to pack features like the cooling plates between cells means this greater capacity takes up less space and weighs about 20 pounds less than the previous pack. We'll have to wait on changes to EPA-rated range, Audi only saying max range is up to 375 miles on the WLTP cycle.

( ) – While pickup trucks are known for their wide array of capabilities, including off-road adventures, hauling heavy loads, and even offering a fair degree of luxury in their upper trim levels, a truck’s maximum towing capability is typically its most impressive specification. Unlike SUVs that have to balance passenger space and cargo capacity with towing needs, trucks have a more utilitarian focus that’s reflected in their powertrains specs, including payload capacity and tow rating. We’ve included the max tow rating for each truck listed below, but keep in mind that achieving a truck’s highest towing capacity will often involve ordering (and paying for) a tow package.

There is an electric Porsche Cayenne in the works for model year 2026, but before the full-size SUV follows the Macan down Electric Avenue, the Swabian petrolhead faction rolled out the new 493-hp GTS.
