THE 2024 AUDI Q8 E-TRON IS FINALLY THE ELECTRIC AUDI WE WERE PROMISED | 2024 Q8 E-TRON REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron receives a significant update, positioning it as a strong contender in the luxury EV SUV segment. The reviewer highlights its improved battery size and faster charging, contributing to a real-world range of approximately 275-280 miles, which is competitive. Key strengths include its exceptionally comfortable ride quality (rated A+), spacious and practical cargo area, and the inclusion of a spare tire, a rare feature in EVs. The interior is praised for its premium materials and comfortable, well-appointed seats, especially in the Prestige trim. However, the reviewer notes that handling, while good (A-), is not as sharp as some competitors like the BMW iX or Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, and the acceleration, while brisk at 5.3 seconds 0-60, lacks the immediate punch of some rivals. The dual-screen infotainment system is functional but can feel a bit convoluted. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Q8 e-tron is recommended for its comfortable, quiet, and practical driving experience, especially given its competitive pricing compared to some German rivals.
