Comfortable seats and ride
Lots of standard and available safety and tech features
Driving range is now competitive with other luxury EVs

Cons

Infotainment operation can be distracting
Interior design isn't as awe-inspiring as some rivals

What's new

A new name and subtle restyling for the Audi e-tron, the automaker's biggest fully electric SUV
Range is up to an EPA-estimated 285 miles
Changes to steering and suspension components deliver more responsive handling
Kicks off the Q8 e-tron nameplate for the 2024 model year, but this is a refresh of the e-tron that debuted for 2019

Overview

Despite the new name, the 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron is very much the Audi e-tron SUV that came before it, albeit with a number of improvements in key areas. The e-tron was one of the first fully electric luxury SUVs that came to the U.S. market, and for 2024 it's getting a raft of updates that include that new Q8 moniker. It remains a two-row midsize electric SUV, but from there, the 2024 model receives a larger battery with more range, a higher maximum charging rate, a retuned suspension and a few other tweaks. The result is a much-improved crossover that's more than just a new name and a redesigned badge. After some considerable seat time in the new Q8 e-tron, we think it's a genuine improvement on an already impressive EV.

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

Edmunds spotlight: Improved range and charging

The previous e-tron carried an EPA range estimate of just 226 miles, and even though we surpassed that while conducting our world-famous real-life EV range test — traveling 248 miles before needing to recharge — there's no doubt the e-tron's range performance was a little underwhelming. For the SUV's rebrand as the Q8 e-tron, Audi has fitted a larger battery under the floor, which catapults the EPA estimate to a much more competitive 285 miles. (A version of the related Q8 e-tron Sportback even reaches the 300-mile mark.) When you also factor in the Q8 e-tron's higher charging rates, it's clear Audi prioritized the 2024 model's ability to go the distance.

Competitors to consider

We'll be the first to admit that the BMW iX's funky styling isn't for everyone, but this luxury crossover is exceptionally comfortable and satisfying to drive. The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is also worth a look, featuring an immaculately detailed cabin and many helpful advanced driving technology aids. And the Genesis Electrified GV70 might seem like a left-field choice, but this all-electric version of the highly regarded GV70 impresses with rapid acceleration and unimpeachable ride comfort.

Which Q8 e-tron does Edmunds recommend?

While the entry-level Premium has a lot of content, there are a few features missing that you should expect in an SUV at this price point. Upgrade to the Premium Plus for a little more, and you'll add desirable features like cooled front seats, a 360-degree parking camera, configurable interior lighting and a ripping Bang & Olufsen sound system. You can also opt for the upgraded charging system (not available on the Premium), which cuts charging time significantly when you're topping up at home or at a Level 2 station.

Audi Q8 e-tron models

The 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron is a midsize electric SUV sold in Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels. All versions feature a dual-motor powertrain layout (402 horsepower with Boost mode active) that provides all-wheel-drive traction and draws power from a battery pack with usable capacity of 106 kWh (114 kWh gross). The higher-performance SQ8 e-tron is reviewed separately on Edmunds. Keep reading for additional information on the Q8 e-tron's range, charging capabilities and standard features.

For at-home charging or when using a Level 2 station, the 9.2-kW onboard charger can recharge the vehicle in about 13 hours. Newly optional for this year is a 19.2-kW charger that can reduce that time to 6.5 hours. The electric SUV can also charge at DC stations at a rate of 170 kW, allowing the Q8 e-tron to charge from 10% to 80% capacity in 31 minutes.

Beware doesn't fully charge

lee pressler, 11/09/2023

2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Premium 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

I have had my Er, Ron Q8 for only about two months now. Even though when I charge it, it says 100% on the battery. The mileage is only 225 miles instead of the advertise 285 miles. This happened rather quickly. All of a sudden the amount of miles on a full charger was dramatically less. I brought the car into Audi two times and both times they're telling me nothing is wrong with the car. …

Nowhere near 285 range

R.Sudden, 11/29/2023

2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

Had the car 2 months and never once have I seen no more than 210-224 range when fully charged! Which is a HUGE DIFFERENCE from advertised! And that’s driving with everything off! Basically I was ripped off!

infotainment system is garbage

Stephen M, 12/22/2023

2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

The new 2024 q8 etron drives like it has sand bags in the trunk. In my opinion it’s not fun to drive and lacks the agility and fun factor of a BMW. It does drive smoothly in tranquil silence with no rattles even over bumps thanks to its air suspension. Would I lease it again…. no! Would I get another electric….probably not. My recommendation is to stay away from electric vehicles if you … have a long commute like me. Note I was pretty impressed when the dealer mentioned unlimited 2 years of free charging at electrify America charging stations nationwide. But keep in mind that the Electrify America network is very limited and small compared to Tesla. And so there may not be any chargers in your area that are convenient.. There are usually 4 chargers per location and often times (from my experience) 1 or more of the Electrify America chargers are not functioning. There are usually other people waiting to charge so it can be frustrating waiting to use the charger (I waited once 40 minutes) and then waiting an additional 30-40 minutes for your vehicle to fill up. Did I also mention that the etron insurance costs hundreds more than what a 2023 gas powered Mercedes GLE costs to insure. I wish someone would have mentioned that in the reviews instead of whimpering about the lousy range they are getting. Although I thought going electric was going to save me money, realistically I’m not saving a dime since insurance is more, youll need to install a home charger at a cost of $1500 plus and electric vehicles are known to wear out tires faster than their gas counterpart because the vehicle is heavier That said let me explain why I gave the q8 etron one stars. For me the worst part of this vehicle is the infotainment system, cameras and overall MMI experience falls short of expectations at this price point and is a huge disappointment. Maybe this system was ground breaking 5 years ago its a relic by todays standards. It’s nowhere near as good or nice as a Mercedes gle or BMW x5/ix even a Hyundai Palisade Or Kia telluride has better and more tech. My issues with the 2024 q8 etron premium plus 1) front and rear backup cameras are acceptable but lousy. The small screen and fish eye lens makes everything you see in the camera look extremely small and stretched/distorted. Maybe a bigger screen would help. In addition the camera image is mediocre resolution and dark, especially at night. So you may be thinking just brighten the screen, right? Wrong, there is no way to brighten only the camera screen. Instead you need to increase the MMI infotainment brightness, but ramping up the brightness makes the navigation screen way too bright at night. Would also be nice if the cameras retracted inside the vehicle so they stay clean. 2) Another issue with the infotainment screen is its location below the sight line (speedometer level). It’s awkward and unnatural viewing the navigation screen while driving, since you’re looking down. Audi should have placed the screen at the same height as the speedometer. Instead the designers placed the air vents at the top edge of the dash with the screen below. That makes no sense since most people don’t want the vent air blowing directly in their face. 3) cross traffic alert leaves much to be desired. It doesn’t always alert you to an oncoming car or pedestrians until the object is close. Sometimes it only flashes a warning on screen without beeping. As far as I know there is no way to adjust the sensitivity. 4) Blind spot mirrors are confusing since the blind spot indicator is on the mirror housing not the mirror itself like 99% of other vehicles. The blind spot light is also not that bright even at the brightest setting. (The q5 blind spots lights are so much better, brighter and more noticeable). Also on the mirror housing facing the driver is a small square indicator that blinks every time you activate the turn signal. (This light can only be seen by the driver). It’s easy to confuse this blinking light with the blind spot indicator since they are both an amber color. I covered this light with a small piece of black electric tape because it was just so annoying. There is also no blind spot beeping feature as is common on many vehicles today. 5) Electric range is not what it seems. They claim 285 miles per charge but turn on the ac or heat to a high setting and that number will go down drastically. Range will suffer in cold weather too. Since Audi recommends not charging more than 80% you’ll realistically get under 200 miles per charge. Note: all electric vehicles have this same issue. Car companies need to be more honest about real life range. It’s not realistic to drive without the air conditioning or heat. 6) the dashboard has lots of shiny black plastic trim that looks ugly and cheap, it attracts finger prints/dust and reflects the sun in your eyes while driving. 5) Audi should have designed physical climate control buttons. The climate touch screen is distracting to use while driving and reminds me of the horrible touch climate control screen in my previous car, a Range Rover Sport. Maybe Audi should do away with the silly touch climate control nonsense and just give us some manual controls and use the savings to source a better quality reverse camera. Overall, my recommendation is to test drive the vehicle and if you can live with the tech deficiencies then you’ve found the right vehicle. Unless you love the brand there are some better options out there with better technology. I think a BMW ix or Mercedes GLE hybrid would have been a better option.

Far from marathon beauty

2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Prestige 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

Typical Audi luxury with all the bells and whistles. Comfortable quiet ride (as expected). However, the battery is a POS. At delivery, 100% charge yielded 300 miles. Then tuned down to 80% max charge as recommended to extend battery life. 1 month later, long road trip at 100% yielded 270. Have the car 6 months now and 80% gets circa 160 with 100% barely scratching 200. Good thing it’s …

2024 Audi Q8 e-tron First Impressions

byKurt Niebuhr

•11/08/2022 (updated 5/22/2023)

What is the Q8 e-tron?

Despite the new name, the 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron is very much the Audi e-tron SUV that came before it, albeit with a number of improvements in key areas. The e-tron was one of the first fully electric luxury SUVs that came to the U.S. market, and for 2024 it's getting a raft of updates that include that new Q8 moniker. It keeps its floor-mounted battery, standard all-wheel drive thanks to front and rear electric motors, and two-row five-passenger layout. From there, the 2024 model receives more range, sportier handling and a few other tweaks. Read on to find out if this renewed e-tron is now good enough to be a worthy competitor to the BMW iX, Mercedes-Benz EQE, Rivian R1T and Tesla Model X.

What powers the Q8 e-tron?

For 2024, the Q8 e-tron is available with a single powertrain configuration. Under the floor sits a battery pack with a usable 106 kWh, and it sends power to two electric motors, one on each axle. The peak output of those motors is a combined 402 horsepower. The Q8 e-tron's all-wheel-drive system is rear-biased, which means most of the power goes to the rear motor most of the time. In low-traction situations or during dynamic driving, the front motor gets more power to help with traction.

Small changes to the electric motors (like the addition of two more coils for a total of 14, creating a stronger magnetic field) mean the motors make more power but require less energy to do so, making the car more efficient. And even though the more powerful battery isn't substantially bigger, upgrades in efficiency and thermal management mean major range gains.

What's the Q8 e-tron range? And charging times?

Range is a big area of improvement for the Q8 e-tron. The old model served up a 222-mile EPA-estimated range for the standard SUV and 218 miles in Sportback form. For the 2024 Q8 e-tron, the EPA estimates it's good for 285 miles for the SUV and 296 miles for the Sportback model. An optional Ultra package, available only with the Sportback, features a smaller wheel and tire package with low-rolling-resistance rubber and retuned suspension that gives it a lower ride height for added efficiency, and this setup delivers the magical 300-mile EPA estimate.

The new Q8 e-tron also charges quicker than its predecessor. Audi says that, under ideal conditions, the Q8 e-tron will be able to charge at up to 170 kW at a compatible DC fast-charging station (up from 150 kW previously) and can fill from 10% to 80% capacity in roughly 31 minutes. This is decently quick for a luxury EV and comparable to the BMW iX's time.

Charging at home or on a Level 2 charger has been improved as well. There's a standard 9.6-kW onboard charger with an option for a 19.2-kW unit. The latter ensures a full charge can be had in as little as 6.5 hours while the former will take 13 hours, Audi says. There's also a second AC charge port available for added convenience.

How does the Q8 e-tron drive?

While the big news for the Q8 e-tron is the bigger battery and increased range, Audi has tweaked the steering and suspension as well. Most notable is the new, quicker steering ratio for the Q8. More responsive steering makes this nearly 5,800-pound SUV feel more nimble than you'd expect, but Audi hasn't gone so far as to make it feel darty or overly responsive to minor inputs. If we had one want with the Q8 e-tron, it would be the addition of rear-axle steering. We think it would go a long way toward improving this SUV's maneuverability in tight spaces and handling on twisty roads.

Audi has retuned the Q8 e-tron's suspension. Changes to various mounting points and suspension components have been made in an effort to increase stiffness, which in turn makes the Q8's body motions more predictable. The Q8 e-tron exhibited excellent composure at a variety of speeds and never felt too soft or overly firm even in its most dynamic settings.

As strange as this might sound, and as strange as it is to write it, we're somewhat happy to see the Q8 e-tron's relatively modest power numbers. These days, it's all too easy to give EVs massive amounts of power in order to impress buyers new to the EV experience, so it's refreshing to drive an EV that's not bent on accelerating as far as some exotic cars. As a result, the big Audi's acceleration will never really snap your head back but there's ample power to move through city traffic as well as pass on a two-lane road. We do lament the lack of true one-pedal driving capability; you'll still need to rely on the mechanical brakes to bring the Q8 to a full stop.

Audi estimates the Q8 e-tron will hit 60 mph in about 5.3 seconds, and from our time behind the wheel, we don't doubt that claim. If you do want an electric SUV with more sauce, there's a tri-motor SQ8 e-tron in the pipeline that should deliver an altogether more sporty experience.

How's the Q8 e-tron's interior?

Very little has changed on the inside. The design is identical to the e-tron that came before, and the biggest differences will be to the open-pore wood inlays on the dashboard and some additional options for interior appointments. The lower ride height and large door openings make it a cinch to get into and out of, and the supportive seats don't offer any impediment to access either. Eschewing a third row of seats ensures the second row has ample legroom. Four-zone climate control and a panoramic sunroof are standard features, and the Q8 e-tron can be outfitted with massaging front seats and dual-pane acoustic glass for added comfort and serenity. It's worth noting that the Q8 e-tron isn't saddled with any unnecessary synthetic noises once up to speed. The cabin remains quiet, which makes the optional Bang & Olufsen audio system that much more impressive.

Audi's MMI system is still equal parts attractive and somewhat overwhelming. The split-screen setup for infotainment and climate control are not to everyone's taste, but the graphics are crisp even if the menu structure can be a little bit convoluted. Thankfully, most of the settings you're likely to change more often are never more than one layer deep in any particular menu.

How's the Q8 e-tron's tech?

Audi loads up the Q8 e-tron with a fair amount of standard tech. There's the aforementioned split-screen setup — the larger of the two screens is 10.1 inches — front and rear parking sensors, digital instrument panel (Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus), wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, adaptive cruise control with lane centering, and front and rear auto braking and side assist, which senses vehicles alongside the Q8 and can take corrective action to avoid a collision.

Optional features include a surround-view camera, an upgraded Bang & Olufsen audio system, head-up display and cross-traffic detection. There's also an available trailer hitch, allowing you to pull up to 4,000 pounds. It also includes a trailer brake controller.

Edmunds says

The original e-tron wasn't lacking much when it came to the driving experience. But what it did lack was range, a fact that became more and more obvious as competitors like the BMW iX and Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV arrived. For 2024, Audi has sought to address the biggest deficit with its e-tron as well as fine-tune the already impressive driving experience. There's more than just a new name and a redesigned badge in this thorough refresh, and after some considerable seat time in the new Q8 e-tron, we think it's a genuine improvement on an already impressive EV. Stay tuned to Edmunds for our full review and real-world range test of the Q8 e-tron once it becomes available.
