The model
Read full Audi Q8 e-tron reviewThe Q8 e-tron is one of the quietest and most comfortable electric cars you can buy. What’s more, it’s beautifully finished and more practical than a lot of rivals. If you value a sporty drive, you’d be better off looking at the BMW iX3 or Jaguar I-Pace, but otherwise the Q8 e-tron is an excellent choice.
The trim
See full equipmentThis is the cheapest trim, but we reckon it’s the pick of the range, because you still get heated, electrically adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, two-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, cruise control and a powered tailgate. There’s also a 10-speaker stereo that includes a subwoofer, while standard safety kit includes automatic emergency braking (AEB) and a lane departure warning system.
The engine
See full engine specsLike all Q8 e-trons, the 50 quattro is four-wheel drive. However, in this entry-level version the two electric motors produce a combined 335bhp and allow 0-62mph in 6.0sec. You also get an 89kWh battery, which delivers an official range of 283 miles. The maximum charging speed is 150kW, which means a 10-80% top-up can take as little as 28 minutes.
