This is the new Q8 e-tron. Nothing to do with the existing petrol, diesel and hybrid Q8, this is a facelift of its first electric car – the e-tron SUV – introduced in 2019. Q8 e-tron it doesn’t scream about its electric powertrain, it just quietly gets on with the business of flinging you down the road with the sort of premium solidness you’d expect. The scrimping on the entry powertrains – the 335bhp 50 model – comes with the battery, which is a ‘mere’ 89kWh for a range of up to 290 miles. Upgrade to a pricier 55 car and you get a 106kWh battery that will manage up to 343 miles in aero friendly coupe form.
