Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review of the electric car:- The vehicle, previously called the "e-tron SUV", is now named the "Q8 e-tron" due to Audi's electric vehicle naming conventions becoming confusing.
- A larger battery increases range to around 300 miles in the top configuration.
- Performance is about the same as before, with 355 horsepower, briefly going up to 400 in sport mode.
- 0 to 60 miles per hour acceleration is in the low five-second range.
- DC fast charging can charge from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes.
- It has dual charge ports on both sides for parking convenience.
- A new, more aerodynamic body-colored grille is included, along with the Audi logo being two-dimensional in black.
- The model name is etched into the B-pillar.
- There are two center screens inside, with the lower screen being used for climate controls.
- The upper screen is intuitive, but comparatively small in comparison to some rivals.
- A lot of different drive modes for a vehicle is likely driven mostly in just a simple mode.
- The rear sport back design takes up some of the storage vertically.
- It is priced around $76,000 or around $79,000 for the "sportback" model. The specific "sportback prestige" trim has a starting price around $90,000.
- It is not necessarily class-leading, but still a great vehicle. The BMW iX and Tesla Model X are comparable in terms of cost and features.
- Driver assist technology works very well.
- Ultimately, the reviewer says the electric Audi SUV is "just fine," and just looks and feels like every other Audi SUV, and the vehicle may warrant shopping around, unless you get a good deal or enjoy the Audi brand.
