What is the difference between those two?
Premium eAWD =290 Miles range ~ $70K
GT standard = 270 Miles range ~ $66K
Seems like the same engine, but with less range. The exterior wise difference is new wheels and break pads.
I think 2022 had different seats, not sure about 2023

The biggest difference is that the GT has a more powerful front motor. There are also several smaller differences like seats, wheels, wheel arches, suspension, front end, etc. But you have the pricing backwards. The GT is more expensive than The Premium.

Oh, my bad. I've missed 3.8 sec vs 4.8
In that case, it is a no brainer. Extra $3K gives you much better performance, nice looking wheels, seats, etc. The only downside is -20 miles of range.

I believe the GT has a stiffer suspension too, for what it’s worth, depending on your preferences.

Fwiw. Range is highly variable. A range hog driving a GT will get more range than a normal driver in a premium. If you drive mostly in the city or suburbs and don’t floor it much the range difference between the two models will not be much
