Some of the Q8's most notable features include its optimized drive concept, higher charging performance, and battery capacity. Let's see what else this all-new luxurious SUV has to offer.
Two Trims
The Audi Q8 e-tron SUV comes in two drivetrain variants featuring electric all-wheel drive: the 50 e-tron (95 kWh battery pack) and the 55 e-tron (114 kWh battery pack). The 50 e-tron has a maximum power output of 250 kW and a range of up to 491 km (WLTP). On the other hand, the 55 e-tron has 300 kW maximum power output with a 582 km potential range (WLTP). The latter jumps to 600 km with the Sportback variant.
Perfectly Tuned
Audi's new Q8 e-tron comes with an air-spring suspension that has controlled shock absorption, letting the car body height vary by up to 76 millimetres, depending on the driving situation. The lateral dynamics of the vehicle were improved by adjusting its air-spring tuning. Its improved ESC will provide increased maneuverability, while the Audi Q8 e-tron's revised progressive steering allows for tighter handling of corners.
Filled with Premium Features
Audi's Q8 e-tron is a luxurious SUV with various features to make your driving experience more comfortable and enjoyable. It has available digital Matrix LED headlights and an optional glass panorama roof, aiming to make the space appear brighter and wider. Audi is also offering four-zone automatic climate control as an alternative to the standard two-zone automatic climate control.
Furthermore, the Audi Q8 e-tron comes with around 40 driver assistance systems, including a new remote park assist plus system. The car uses the MMI touch response operating system with two large high-resolution displays. With all these features, the Audi Q8 e-tron is sure to give you a luxurious and comfortable driving experience.
First Step Towards the Future
The Q8 e-tron is just one part of Audi's larger electric roadmap, which includes eight models and counting. All of Audi's models will be fully electric by 2026.
“With our corporate strategy ‘Vorsprung 2030’, we’ve set a fixed date for our withdrawal from combustion engines and clearly decided that Audi will be a fully electric brand within 11 years,” said Markus Duesmann, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. “The new Audi Q8 e-tron, with its improved efficiency and range and refined design, is another important component in our electric portfolio to get people excited about electromobility with emotional models that are suitable for everyday use.”
The Q8 e-tron is Audi's newest electric SUV. This top-of-the-line SUV builds on the success of its predecessor with improved features and a longer range. With an optimized drive concept, higher charging performance, and increased battery capacity, the Q8 e-tron is a great choice for EV shoppers looking for a reliable and efficient electric SUV.
