Pricing and Specification Released for New Audi Q8 E-tron
The new Q8 e-tron continues the brand’s electric line-up, with first deliveries expected in April 2023.
Audi has released information on pricing and specification for the all-new Audi Q8 e-tron which is set to join UK roads from next year.
The new fully electric SUV brings together spaciousness and efficiency, all with a truly sophisticated, impressive look.
There are three powertrains available, including the Q8 50 e-tron, Q8 55 e-tron, and SQ8 e-tron. All feature an impressive range of standard equipment, and provide an improved range and battery capacity.
The Q8 e-tron sees the new and improved version of the brand’s flagship electric SUV, and with it even comes an updated logo for the brand, with the iconic four rings positioned flush on the front and rear end in a new 2D design.
The Q8 range consists of four different trim levels: Sport, S Line, Black Edition and Vorsprung, each with different features, though all offer the same premium Audi experience.
The SQ8 e-tron is the highest-performing powertrain in the range and is offered with the Black Edition and Vorsprung specifications, and a price for these will be confirmed at a later date.
Standard equipment on offer with the Q8 e-tron range includes adaptive air suspension, all-wheel drive, and progressive steering, for a smoother, more controlled drive.
There are also several features on board all focussed on providing luxurious comfort during your travels, such as heated and electrically adjustable front seats, windscreen with acoustic glazing, the Audi Virtual cockpit, two-zone automatic air conditioning which can be pre-set, and even keyless operation for optimal convenience.
Safety features across models also include a rearview camera, lane departure warning, Audi pre-sense front and basic, parking sensors, and even camera traffic sign recognition. Matrix LED headlamps are standard across the range, and ensure the best lighting along with a sleek, modern look.
Option Packs
With the new Audi Q8 e-tron also comes the addition of two optional packs, bringing you enhanced connectivity and infotainment, including the Technology Pack and the Technology Pack Pro. Priced at £2,995, the Technology Pack contains a Bang & Olufsen sound system, multi-colour interior ambient lighting, head-up display feature, a 360-degree camera complete with park assist and parking aid, an impressive feature allowing the Q8 e-tron to park itself.
The Technology Pro Pack comes in at a higher price of £5,995, with the additional features of exterior ambient lighting with an illuminated grille, four-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, USB-C port in the rear, and heated rear seats.
Audi’s previous packs also remain available, with the Tour Pack at £1,995 offering adaptive cruise control along with various assistance features from lane assist and emergency assist to predictive efficiency, swerve and turn assist.
The City Assist Pack meanwhile offers Audi pre-sense rear, exit warning, cross traffic assist, lane change assistant, and park assist at a price of £1,495. Virtual door mirrors can also be added at an additional cost of £1,750.
