An excellent exponent of the evolution of the electric car, the Q8 e-tron continues the e-tron that appeared in 2018. Audi thus consolidates itself in the exclusive segment of electric SUVs with a car that achieves perfection in many ways. Available in the sporty Sportback body, all are improvements over the previous model: optimized driving, ride refinement, better aerodynamics and charging and battery power.
It is a large, spacious SUV, with a wheelbase of 2.92 meters that allows you to enjoy great legroom in the rear seats. In addition, the trunk capacity is notable, with 528 liters of volume. And under the front hood, there is an additional 62 liters of storage space. Everything to make traveling a true pleasure.
The new corporate identity of the German brand stands out from its line, which includes the four flatter, two-dimensional rings and the model name on the B pillar. Likewise, the body design reduces air resistance and increases efficiency, with new solutions such as spoilers on the underbody or the dynamic air intake to optimize aerodynamics. The driving position is notable for the quality of the materials and the presentation, and that there are no exterior mirrors. Audi calls them virtual mirrors and they are optional. Instead of the typical and bulky housing that contains the traditional rearview mirror, on the outside there are two small and stylized video cameras.
Smooth and easy to drive, it turns very precisely and always shows a reliable footprint. The batteries, in the lower part of the car, maintain a low center of gravity that helps a lot to always offer a good dynamic attitude. Special mention deserves the standard pneumatic suspension, which regulates the height of the body and takes care of the comfort of all occupants.
It has two electric motors, one on each axle with quattro traction, with a total power of 408 HP, a figure that provides sports car acceleration: 5.6 seconds to reach 100 km/h. And with a maximum speed limited to 200 km/h. Actually, it seems more than enough.
