It’s no secret that Audi strongly advocates electrification, demonstrating it with its 100% electric plug-in hybrid range. And once again proves it with the announcement of the new Audi Q8 and Q8 Sportback e-tronan unexpected -but at the same time expected- movement that will bring to the scene the replacement of the e-tron, or what is the same, a considerable improvement in performance.
And we also say expected because it is the usual trend not only for Audi, but also for any brand that is advocating electrification. Although it is true that the e-tron GT breaks the norm, the commitment of the firm with the four rings is the electric SUV, giving evidence of this with the Q4 e-tron and with the future models that will accompany it in that segment.
More of everything for the Audi e-tron, now renamed
for now, the German house has limited itself to sharing an image as a teaser of the new Q8 and Q8 Sportback. In this we appreciate a light signature for the rear without major changes, thus maintaining the arrow-tail design that forms the LEDs in both the standard variant and the Sportback.
And although neither the front nor the interior of the new Audi Q8 e-tron have been revealed, certain changes are expected to emphasize its new baptism. But the high point of the renewal of Audi’s largest electric SUV will lie in its performance and autonomy, substantially improved thanks to software and battery updates.
At the moment the German house awaits tomorrow to share all the details about the new Q8 e-tron. However, more forceful figures are expected in the first echelons of the model, being able to offer autonomies of 500 kilometers or more in variant 55 of access.
