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 engine
See full engine specsStepping up from the 50 quattro model to the 55 quattro gets you 402bhp (versus 335bhp) and cuts the 0-62mph sprint time from 6.0sec to 5.6sec. However, more importantly you also get a bigger, 106kWh battery, which increases the official range from 283 miles to 333 miles. This battery can take on electricity at speeds of up to 170kW, so a 10-80% charge is still possible in just 31 minutes.
