Electric. Among other wonderful things
The Audi e-tron has fulfilled its pioneering role as an all-electric vehicle. So now the time has come to include it by name in the portfolio of Audi models – as the Audi Q8 e-tron.
Faster progress
Thanks to a larger battery capacity and higher charging capacity. The Audi Q8 55 e-tron quattro², for example, can now cover up to 582 kilometres on just one battery charge.
Faster charging
Charge your Audi Q8 e-tron with the aid of various charging options for use at home or out on the road. Now even more quickly at High Power Charging stations thanks to a higher charging capacity of up to 170 kW³,⁴.
New look
The Audi Q8 e-tron is the first vehicle with the new badging strategy, recognisable, among other things, by the Audi rings in a new look as well as the model name on the B-pillars.
Exclusive and digital
The interior welcomes you with selected materials, fine cloth and numerous Audi connect services⁶ such as online media streaming¹⁶, for example.
Fully electric quattro performance
The fully electric quattro all-wheel drive regulates the ideal distribution of the drive torque permanently and fully variably between the two axles. Precisely and with fast reactions. For high directional stability and superb traction.
Opens up new moments
Discover the new, all-electric Q8 e-tron with a maximum range of up to 573 kilometres – made possible by the high-voltage battery with a capacity of up to 106 kWh (net). When the battery state of charge is low, you can make use of additional range potential, for example by activating the Range mode⁸ in the MMI.
Note: The illustration is of the Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron⁵.
- Faster charging stops - effective route guidance: Fast charging is now possible with up to 170 kW3,^ at High Power Charging stations. With the e-tron route planner®, charging stops are integrated into the route guidance in such a way that the high charging capacity can be used effectively.
- Recover energy. Thanks to recuperation: The recuperation system can be used to recover energy - both when coasting and braking. Recuperation when coasting is activated when you take your foot off the accelerator. The degree of recuperation is selected either automatically or manually via the steering wheel paddles - adjustable in three stages.
- Everything in view: The displays in the Audi virtual cockpit plus? let you keep an eye on possible recuperation and the remaining range. If you use intelligent MMI route planning, the remaining range is calculated even more precisely, e.g. with information on topography and traffic situation.
There are various charging options for the Audi Q8 e-tron, both at home and on the road. Charging is even easier with Plug & Charge¹⁰. And thanks to its increased battery capacity and the comprehensive charging service, you can also enjoy electric mobility on long journeys.
Charging at home: The e-tron charging systems compact or connect are available for home charging. The Audi wallbox models allow even more convenient charging.
High-performance charging on the road: Charge from 10% to 80% within about 31 minutes. The Audi Q8 e-tron steals the show at HPC stations - not only with its charging capacity of up to 170 kWs, but also with its stable charging curve. The high charging capacity across a large part of the charging process sets standards and reduces standing time.
Charging made twice as easy: The second AC charging port on the front passenger side offers maximum flexibility in every parking situation. For even quicker charging, you can use the onboard charger up to 22 kW (AC)14.
Plug, charge, go: Plug & Charge's lets you charge conveniently at all compatible charging stations. Simply start the charging process by plugging in the charging cable and end it by unplugging it.
Authentication and payment take place automatically - without a card or app.
Re-energise away from home. And charge your Audi: Audi charging at more than 400,000 public charging points in 27 European countries With tariffs for occasional use or regular charging also on long journeys. Can be used conveniently with RFID card, myAudi app or Plug & Charge. With integration into MMI and into the e-tron route planner.
