Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:- The Audi Q8 e-tron SUV is overall a better car than the older e-tron.
- Exterior: New bumpers, front and back, new lights, wheel design, and new grille.
- Essentially, it looks like the current outgoing car and is a large SUV with five seats and a hatchback.
- Its front is quite aggressive.
- The sportback version has a swooping roofline and is also more aerodynamic and efficient.
- Interior: Overall, there are upgrades rather than revolutionary changes and the build quality is nice.
- The car has a lovely screen for infotainment with haptic buttons, as well as another screen below for climate control.
- There is a nice flow to the interior, and it all feels like it has been fed into the centre console.
- There is good storage, decent leg room, and even climate controls in the back.
- Under the boot floor, there is loads of space and you can opt for a spare tyre.
- A front trunk also comes standard.
- Changes have been made to things that you can't see.
- A much bigger battery has been crammed into the same physical space as the older car.
- The entry-level 50 went from a 71 kWh battery to an 89 kWh battery.
- The 55 went from an 89 kWh pack to a 106 kWh pack.
- New electric motors and a more slippery shape have improved the overall efficiency.
- There is faster steering and retuned air suspension.
- The car has more intuitive stability and traction control systems.
- For a much nicer drive, there is the 55 version with retuned steering.
- The new base model manages 281 miles of range, while the larger battery gets 330 miles.
- You can order virtual door mirrors, which use cameras and screens, which add 2.5 miles of range.
- Pricing: The 50 Q8 e-tron starts at £67,800, but that goes all the way up to just under £98,000 for the SQ8, but not including optional extra costs.
- 1.8 miles per kWh, which is not something to write home about, and makes it just perfectly adequate.
