Audi e-tron GT: maximizing gearbox performance

Schematically, first gear enables the vehicle toexploit the instantaneous power of the electric motor. It is therefore mainly used for starting and rapid acceleration.

Second gear, meanwhile, is designed for cruising speeds and freeway journeys. It contributes to lower average energy consumption, by reducing the rotation speed of the electric motor when you reach high speeds. Combined with the vehicle's excellent range, this transmission offers a unique experience, whatever your driving style, from dynamic to sporty.

This type of transmission is particularly interesting for a top-of-the-range electric car equipped with an overboost system that sharply increases power during acceleration. This is the case, for example, with the gearbox in the Audi RS e-tron GT 646 hp or theAudi e-tron GT 598 hp quattro, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds.

Maintaining the Audi e-tron GT gearbox and anticipating malfunctions

To maintain the performance of your Audi e-tron GT's automatic gearbox, please drive carefully, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking as much as possible. These can lead to premature component wear.

You also need to keep a close eye on the transmission oil. Periodically check its level to ensure that it remains within the recommended range at all times. Read the technical data sheet and manual for your Audi e-tron GT and have the automatic transmission oil changed as recommended by the manufacturer.

By anticipating malfunctions, you can avoid problems later on. For example, you can periodically replace the transmission oil filter and seals. You should also check for fluid leaks from time to time, and pay close attention to the indications on the instrument panel.

Finally, listen to your gearbox! A rolling, rattling or clunking noise is a sign of component wear. If the automatic gearbox in your Audi e-tron GT makes a grinding or squealing noise, it may be low on oil.
