The model
Read full Audi Q8 e-tron reviewThe Q8 e-tron is one of the quietest and most comfortable electric cars you can buy. What’s more, it’s beautifully finished and more practical than a lot of rivals. If you value a sporty drive, you’d be better off looking at the BMW iX3 or Jaguar I-Pace, but otherwise the Q8 e-tron is an excellent choice.
The trim

This includes active anti-roll bars, a 360-degree parking camera, a sport differential, a 17-speaker/ 730-watt Bang & Olufsen premium stereo, power-closing doors, keyless entry, a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, a head-up display, electric rear sun blinds, an Alcantara roof lining, extended leather trim, massaging and ventilated front seats, an electrically adjustable steering column, blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control.
The engine
See full engine specsThe range-topping SQ8 model uses the same 106kWh battery as the 55 quattro, but it can’t go quite as far on a charge: 284 miles versus 333 miles. On the up side, you get three electric motors instead of two, which boosts power to 496bhp and allows the SQ8 to blast from 0-62mph in just 4.5sec.
