Generation & Refresh (US)
2022 is year 2 of the First generation (2021-present).
- Redesigned for the 2021 model year.
- A refresh arrives in 2024.
- 1st generation e-tron GT (US).
What this means for buyers
Year 2 is typically a safer pick than the first model year — early issues are more likely to be identified, but the platform is still new.
If you're comparing prices, check 2021 (redesign year) vs 2022+ pricing and recalls.

Should You Buy the 2022 Audi e-tron GT?
Reliability stands at good, but this is the weakest of the four scored E-Tron-GT years and it sits below average among 2022 sedans. Owners filed 10 complaints, and federal recall records show 20 recalls. The 2023 rates about the same, with 10 complaints and 15 recalls, so it is no clear step up.
The serious complaints involve the drivetrain. Owners say the car drops into neutral or park at stoplights or right after they select drive. Others report a sudden loss of power with a drive system malfunction warning, where the accelerator does little and a restart helps only for a while. One car shut off while reversing and stopped hard. Repeat events after dealer visits are common. The other pattern is a failed high-voltage cabin heater, which means no heat and fogged windows. Owners say parts are hard to get, and one car sat in the shop for 10 days.
Ask for proof that every recall was completed, especially the four electrical system recalls, and for any drivetrain or heater repair history. Compare a 2023 before you decide.

Used Buying Checklist
Key things to inspect or verify before purchasing a 2022 Audi e-tron GT.
Run the VIN through federal recall records and confirm every open campaign has been completed by a dealer.
Stop at several lights in drive and confirm the car stays in gear and pulls away normally.
Back out of parking spaces several times and watch for shutdowns, abrupt stops, or unexpected shifts to park.
Have a dealer scan for stored drive system fault codes and explain any past drive system malfunction warnings.
Run the heater on high and confirm hot air and quick windshield defogging.
Review service records for repeat visits about shifting, power loss, or heater repairs and ask what was replaced.
2022 Audi e-tron GT Common Problems by Component
10 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
POWER TRAIN
5 complaintsThe car shifts itself out of gear without driver input. It may drop into neutral or park at stoplights or just after selecting drive. Other reports describe a sudden loss of power with a drive system malfunction warning. In those cases the accelerator barely moves the car or does nothing, and restarting clears it only for a while. One car shut off while reversing and stopped hard. Repeat events after dealer visits are common. Losing power or stopping abruptly in traffic is a real crash risk.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
3 complaintsThe high-voltage cabin heater fails. That leaves the car with no heat in winter and windows that fog up. Owners say replacement parts are hard to get, and one car sat in the shop for 10 days. Several complaints are about repeat dealer visits for recall work, or waiting on parts that are not yet available for a recall repair. One early report describes the car shutting off or shifting into neutral at 237 miles, which ties into the drivetrain shifting problems.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
1 complaintI was in Portland, Oregon, charging the car at a 350 fast station located in Fred Meyer and it was snowing and raining at the same time. I couldn't get the car to charge more the 90 % and got only 175 miles. Since it was wet, the car windshield will not defrost. The visibility in the car was not very good. I start driving back home to Eugene, around 100 miles. I was concern if i can make it home. When i arrive home, i had only 20 miles left on the charge. The car used to get 230 to 240 miles ranges. Now, even in mild weather, i get 199 miles maximum with 100% charge. I left the car to the dealer to check the battery and they didn't find anything wrong. Now, I will not drive the car in cold weather since i feel not safe driving more than a 100 miles and the charging station will not deliver the charge at more than 20 kw(it will take 2 days to charge the battery at 20 kw).
VISIBILITY/WIPER (1 complaints)
VISIBILITY/WIPER
1 complaintIf the vehicle is left outside in the sun, the backup camera and/or side cameras stop working. It happens very often, but it’s unpredictable. Because if very bad read visibility, reversing in this car is impossible without the backup camera.
