To get more power, you are going to need to upgrade to the GV60 Performance trim, which produces 429 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Starting at $68,985, it is nearly $2,000 more than the standard e-Tron, which starts at $68,095.

The towing capacity of the Audi is superior to that of the Genesis

The process of towing is the amount of weight that a vehicle can pull behind it that determines its towing capacity. If you are going to tow your car, you need to know this information about it. Transmissions and rear axles can be damaged if you exceed the towing capacity of your vehicle.

Towing capacity is therefore an important consideration if you plan to pull a trailer. EVs that are not equipped to handle heavy loads may struggle with towing campers, boats, and other towables.

The  Audi e-Tron 2022 and Genesis GV60 2023 can not be compared when it comes to towing capacity. Approximately 4,000 pounds can be towed by the Audi Q4 e-Tron. There is only a 2,000 pound weight limit on the Genesis GV60.

That is a difference of 2,000 pounds between the two cars. Despite both being good electric crossovers, the Audi outperforms its rival in a few key areas like this. Those areas may make the e-tron the better choice for you if any of them are deal breakers.

In terms of battery capacity, the 2022 Audi e-Tron is superior to the 2023 Genesis GV60

Another aspect that makes all the difference in EVs is the battery capacity. By extending the range between recharges, EVs are often able to drive longer between charges. A battery’s capacity is not simply determined by its range, as many factors enter into the calculations.

The 2022 Audi e-tron comes with a 95-kWh battery if you are looking for maximum battery capacity. There is not as much to offer with the Genesis GV60. There is a 77.4-kWh battery pack in the car.

GV60 users who value such considerations should choose the Audi Q4 e-Tron, which has a 23% greater battery capacity.
