IS THE 2023 AUDI Q8 E-TRON WORTH YOUR TIME AND MONEY? HERE'S THE ANSWER!

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Audi Q8 e-tron receives a significant, albeit mild, refresh, focusing on improvements to battery capacity, charging speed, and aerodynamic styling. While not a groundbreaking redesign, Audi has enhanced an already competent electric SUV. The reviewer highlights the new front-end styling, increased battery size (114 kWh), and faster charging capabilities (up to 170 kW). Real-world range figures are noted as 285 miles for the SUV and 296 miles for the Sportback, with a potential for 300 miles with the optional 'Ultra package' on the Sportback, though this package's wheels are deemed questionable. The interior is praised for its comfort and typical Audi luxury, featuring dual touchscreens and available recycled materials. Driving dynamics are described as relaxing and comfortable, with improved steering feel and suspension tuning, though the reviewer expresses frustration with the automatic regen braking system's tendency to revert to a less aggressive setting. Overall, the Q8 e-tron is presented as a luxurious, stylish, and capable premium electric SUV, with the SUV variant expected to be the more popular choice despite the Sportback's slight range advantage.
