A 2024 freshening added Q8 to the E-Tron along with a larger battery which gives a 285-mile driving range vs. the original model's 220-mile range. Horsepower is increased from 355 to 402. A three-motor SQ8 version brings 496 hp and an EPA estimated range of up to 253 miles. The DC fast charger acceptance rate is now 170 kW. This all-electric luxury midsized SUV is a treat to drive. It has standard all-wheel drive, a luxurious cabin, and a healthy list of active safety features. It's quick and super-quiet, which makes the Q8 E-Tron glide along smoothly and effortlessly. The standard air suspension gives the Audi a supremely comfortable ride. Although handling is responsive, it's no match for the BMW iX or Jaguar I-Pace. A hatchback version called the Sportback is available. The E-Tron GT is a coupelike sedan that's based on the Porsche Taycan. AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, BSW, RCTW, ACC, LCA, LKA, and LDW come standard. 2025 is the final model year for the Q8 E-Tron.
