The 2022 Audi RS e-tron GT interior is a blend of form and function, embracing a style that merges both design viewpoints. The interior cabin is inhabited by displays and other features such as physical button controls for the climate system.

The cargo volume of the 2022 Audi RS e-tron GT is around 9.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded and stowed away. It’s only enough for a couple of small bags and items but won’t hold up well if you’re having to carry bigger loads of items.
