The 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Is A Nicely Upgraded Midsize Luxury Electric SUV
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- When the original #Audi #etron came to market back in 2018, it was an electric vehicle that put luxury first over range. For 2024, the #AudiQ8etron replaces the e-tron and takes its positioning in the electric family as the flagship EV SUV for Audi. The #Q8etron may ride on a different platform versus the gas powered #AudiQ8, but the interior feels every bit as luxurious and compared to rivals that look and feel like spaceships, this #ElectricSUV feels more like a traditional car that just happens to be electric.

Happy Weds everyone! While other electric luxury SUV's scream I'm an EV to the world, the revised Q8 e-tron looks and feels like a regular gas-powered Q8 that has simply gone electric. While its range and performance may still trail some rivals, we really appreciate the tastefully restrained style of this car! Hoping we can get our hands on the upcoming SQ8 e-tron version next to test out its triple electric motor setup!
I love that. I wish more ev’s were like that
You didn't mention the driver assistance stuff...
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
The fact that EV sales are stalling does not bode well for Mercedes and Audi. I don’t want an EV. I’m not fond of subsidizing other EV purchases nor am I fond of the govt shoving this EV down our throats.
@@maxaudi2804 I get everything except your last remark. How is the government shoving EVs down your throat? Didn't they start by shoving gas vehicles down your throat??
I like this Audi Q8 EV you tested, but not the price.
Audi did a great job updating the Q8 e-tron. It still looks better than the newer Mercedes EQS SUV and BMW iX which both look weird.
The bmw is better looking than both
@@Mr504BLACKMANit’s hideous and BMW knows it. There’s a dealer near me with a giant billboard of an iX that says “made you look” because they know it’s monstrous looking
@@Mr504BLACKMAN Absolutely not, new BMW designs are hideous and trash
I think the i8 looks fine, a bit weird but the Audi is more than a bit boring. It is good to have choice! I like the Lyriq quite a bit, not as nice but so much cheaper.
If I saw this audi in real life I'd think maybe it's a 2018 or something. If I saw the iX I'd know it was a new bmw.
I test drove the original E-Tron and loved it. If it had the increased range of this Q8, I would have chosen it over my Ioniq 5. Definitely interested in the Q8.
Agree they should offer 1 pedal drive. Note: if you go into vehicle settings then select charging, move option from automatic to manual regen and it will always stay in your preferred regen mode.
So bloody beautiful.
I have always loved the E Tron, it’s such a beautiful vehicle when you see them on the road. I like the new front, but I personally don’t like black optics.
Temp spare tire??!! Sold!!
Intros never miss 🙏🏾
Useful information 😊
This has to be one of the best automobile reviews I've ever seen on UA-cam! Awesome job! I own the 2023 e-tron SUV and love it, it's very similar to this 2024 that you reviewed. I also am experiencing less overall real-world mileage, not typically getting the 226 miles of range on the window sticker, even with climate control off and no cargo or passengers. One thing I didn't hear you talk about was the 2024 is supposed to have self-parking? Is that not available yet or? Thanks again for an awesome review!
My first Audi E-Tron SUV I want to own one.
Redline Reviews make the best videos ever :)
Alex on autos and savage geese are better.
@@phatgringo2.0excusesgeese
I drive the ‘23 model for the past 6 months and the highest range I’ve seen after charging it OVER NIGHT, And only got 203 miles of range.. My work place just got this model today and I’ll be trying that model out this weekend.. I doubt I’ll get that 285 range at any point but I didn’t buy it so I can’t complain too much..
Bro test drive the new maserati grecale, levante and granturismo man show maserati some love!!!
The pre-refresh model etron had the fragrance option. Not sure why they went away from it...or maybe your tester just didn't get that option.
seriosly 285 miles range.
Audi's are fun to drive but horrendous to actually own. This channel doesn't cover ownership or longevity.
I have an older one and I've put 92k miles on it. It has been largely issue free. The reliability of audi has become a lot better in the last decade.
….My Audi TT’s instrument pod DIED at 17,500 miles!! (no fuel guage, speed, rpm, etc). Car was out of warranty (despite low miles), apparently OTHER TT owners have had this problem too….a lot. Still no recall!! I thought no fuel guage, and speedometer was a SAFETY issue?!? Audi wanted $3,000.00 to replace instrument pod…..I SOLD the car!!! No more German (or European) cars for me!!! Love my GENESIS now!!
@@davevolz6138…..All my Audi TT did was BREAK.
Why not a 3rd row! It has the space to put one! I’m really disappointed with the lack of 3rd row EV options out there, and to that matter hybrid 3rd row options as well. Audi knows how to put a 3rd row as the VW Tiguan has a 3rd row for when you need it.
What’s the ground clearance at highest setting?
You think every info system is old. What do u want. Laptop in there. If it’s not. Token don’t fix it 😊
It looks like it's wearing a gimp mask ;)
Is it has the same suspension¿
I’d be scared when closing the door. I’d think I’ll fall out cause it didn’t close, but the whole time it’s closed. 😂
I'm amazed at the expensive luxury vehicles that still don't have a rear view camera mirror! GM has had them (as an option) for over 5 years. I have it in my car & love it.
I agree that it would be nice to have. I sell high end vehicles and I must admit that most of the clients I work with don’t like that. Maybe 30% of the cars I sell have it and most of the owners choose not to use it.
@@ZensCollectables thanks for the reply. I'm shocked that people don't like it. I think it's the greatest thing since the automatic transmission.
It looks great, would definitely choose this over a Model X, EQS SUV, or the IX
Same
The iX has a better sound system (Bowers & Wilkins Diamond) but the Q8 E-tron's Bang & Olufsen isn't bad either from what I've been told.
Not for that price and weak driving range
Eh, I'd take the the iX or XM. Way better luxury, faster, and better tech
My favorite new Audi E-Tron SUV I can buy.
looks like the VW Atlas
Audi/VW same difference.
...soo many options
You can get all the options that this car offers with much better manufacture warranties & lower price from Genesis - I got a GV60 and I love it!
Thanks for the review! My thoughts on making the review more useful for viewers:
- 0-60 seems silly to mention in a luxury car not marketed as a sports car, when it's below 6 seconds. I'd argue it just doesn't matter to people's daily life over the long term. Whiplash is not luxury.
- Also, cargo capacity vs. the sportback is less but nobody ever stacks stuff up to the roof. In fact, it's incredible dangerous to do so. The usable space - the depth and width - are the same.
Having power is a safety feature and a luxury, you just have to know when to use it.
Sure, but it's about prioritizing the most useful information. At that point it would be more useful to mention stopping distance from 60, turning radius, oversteer/understeer metrics, headlight visibility, etc. @@Sumodeadliftsarefake69
What absolute drivel@@Sumodeadliftsarefake69
The height is super useful if you have a dog. I wouldn't put mine into the sportback, its not tall enough. You could also use a cargo net to retain your cargo if you stack it to the top
This car has more than enough power to be safe, its not like 6 seconds to 60 is slow.@@Sumodeadliftsarefake69
YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN RIGHT HERE, AS USUAL, 31/08/2023
I must've missed it, where are the prices on this channel?
Midsize?
Audi❤
Instead of wraping up the video in 3 mins by saying rest is same as last year he dragged it unnecessarily
I want to get rid of my model S, and move to anything but tesla, but it is hard to find something really good with the range. Test drove a Lucid Air yesterday. Nice, and very good feeling and the best in class mileage at 512 range, but the screen has massive glare problems because of the all glass roof and the position of the screen. Very problematic.
lookin like a hyundai in the thumbnail
It feels heavy, but a nice first attempt for Audi @ electric!
A 106kwh usable battery and only 300 miles of range at 100% (which manufacturers don’t recommend you do on the regular anyways) so realistically less than 300 miles of range with a ginormous battery. What am I missing?
It's not built on a dedicated EV platform. Also, All these luxury options come at the cost of weight. For sure the real world range on this is far closer to the rating than other EVs.
@@petertewilliger1052 ok so you take out the massaging seats and the ambient lighting and it’s got much of the same standard features that you can get on a different EV that has a 77kwh battery with real world range not that far off from this.
@@TATTEDGAY there are lots more granular things like dual paned windows, air suspension, HVAC ionizer, auto tensioning seat belts, soft close doors, 2 speed window motors, motorized headlights...lots of stuff like that add weight. The biggest issue is that it isn't based on an event platform, so it still has added weight from a transmission tunnel, housing for a drive shaft, redundant structural measures (where the battery could serve as the structure). But your point is valid i'm sure they will make more progress on the next variant (as they have made with the Q4).
I love so many things about my 2023 E-Tron chronos edition, like the bang and olefson sound system, the adoptive cruise control and lane keep assist that basically drives the car automatically by keeping your hand on the steering wheel. The massaging seats are not to be underestimated, I turn them on from the moment I get in the car until the moment I get out and my front passenger, if I have one loves that feature as well. Also love the wireless Android auto that shows real time Google maps with traffic, accident info and speed traps on the display and announces them as well as alternate routes to save time on the fly.
The windows are so soundproof you don't hear any freeway noise even when driving at 70 mph. It's the most comfortable and luxurious vehicle I've ever been in with the ambient lighting and the adaptive headlights that automatically display a light show whenever I approach my vehicle. It's a show stopper! This is so much more luxurious than the Tesla's and it looks like a normal SUV, not an electric vehicle from the future like so many others.
Same design ?
top speed 124 and 0-60 5.4s with 285 miles range and it starts at 84,000 dollars??? what’s the incentive to this over a gas car??? top trim telluride, expedition, etc
Current incentives and typical discount on the car bring it down from 84k to to about 62-64k.. At that point it's a better buy than a 64k combustible car.
midsize?
i cant be the only one who feels they made this Q8 look really cheap
What’s your height????
Same old interior from 2019, so inefficient, got rid of mlne when rear motor was getting noisy. Such minimal changes for such an expensive car. Need a new platform as they promised but never delivered.
I wonder why electric engine with battery is more expensive than combustion engine. It does not required to have cooling and oil system.
That batteries themselves cost a lot more than any combustion engine.
I do fail to see the appeal of this 'Q8' E-Tron over the previous gen one? The exterior looks are 99% the same, interior is identical, the performance/power is the same, ride quality and noise isolation is excellent on both model with adaptive air suspension etc. New model claims 300 miles on a charge, old model claims 255 miles on a single charge (both of which would only be achievable in perfect conditions). Considering you can pick up a 2022 E-Tron 55 for HALF the price of a new 'Q8' one, really is a no brainer imo
The “frunk” is basically a tiny glove compartment (way too small), the tops of the door interior should be stitched leather (like the armrest, NOT soft, injection molded plastic. This vehicle is a stop-gap, facelifted fill-in. ……perhaps the next one will REALLY make some leaps.
Nice suv but not dashcam & back camera recoding & live show so tesla best 😅
1 pedal driving is so nice, it is so stupid that so many EVs leave it out. Also 242mi of range and the efficiency of this is laughable for the price.
Really … that’s not a frunk. It barely holds a pizza box! This car is not competitive in the largest car market which is China. They can’t give them away.
Air suspension is good at this price point. Key fob is old tech. One pedal driving is a must feature. Mileage range is subpar. No charging infra. Too pricey.
Model X LR now costs $79990 and qualifies for the full tax credit. I think its a no brainer to choose over the iX, Q8-Etron, and EQE SUV. While the Tesla is not as luxurious in term of materials and lacking things like massaging seats, its offers everything else you want in a family car, including the rear infotainment and tons of space.
Idk why someone would buy a car this nice that can only get less than 300 miles in range.
What the hell is the difference between the q8 etron and the etron. They have some of the WORST EV naming in the industry.
Audi lacks of EV technology to control the battery, heating, and cooling system overall. that's why their one pedal drive, the highest speed can't be achieved at all. that's why WV decided to import the whole Hyundai Kia EV system this year. Honestly, the WV group doesn't have any cutting-edge technology on EVs. don't expect at all.
This is better than tesla model y????
I love watching your reviews but you obsession with Car Play is funny. I hate car play tbh. BMW ID8 is far superior!
Coming to your grandparents’ garage this Fall!
Auto fajne, ale odechciewa się oglądania z powodu kolejnego wiatrakowca, który rozprasza machając łapami
I’m not a fan of this look that Audi and Merc are doing with the front of their cars and the badges on the front. Flat cheap plastic. It doesn’t say or present as luxury to me which these cars should be oozing everywhere.
Nice, but not more, rather typical EV of the present era. Not particularly impressive against its competitors and easily equaled or surpassed by far less expensive ICE offerings.
The charge port shouldn't be accessible to open from the outside. That gives way to senseless vandalism. 100k with no thought of security there, Audi 🤔 but they designed it not to open when the motors running? If I won this vehicle, I'd take it for a spin and sell it
If the car is locked and you don't have the key on you, you can't open the charge port door.
@@jlt1112 - thank you
Prob $10k or $15k over priced
124 MPH no thanks!
A $100k+ golf cart. What's not to like?
It looks so old, they desperately need a completely new design language.
Yup
If I’m going to pay the Audi “premium” I expect better charging and batteries.
Its nice but definitely not worth the huge price, audi,s are all way overpriced.
Another overpriced 75-90k car
Only the US would call a Q8 " midsize"
Tesla charger cheap
Car looks great but still prefer gas range, gas fill up times, not having to replace the battery of an ev every 5 years, paying less money to get a vehicle….. EVs aren’t ready and a lot of people including me aren’t willing to sacrifice all that
Plenty of 5 year old etrons on the road. Probably none with a replaced battery. Ignorance on your part. By the way the warranty on pretty much all EV cars is 8-10 years so these car manufacturers know the batteries will last at least 10 years.
If an ev can do 700km on one charge, I will consider buying it, again these batteries are warrantied yes but as all batteries normally work, you will lose range as batteries deteriorate…. So if I lose mileage on a yearly basis as I live in a colder climate…. Not worth it
@@muradahmad1924 Again you are ignorant. Battery degradation is not as extreme as you are trying to portray it as. But nice try.
@@muradahmad1924 Gas cars also loose range/efficiency with time. Without incentives you definitely pay a premium. But with current incentives you're getting the price in line with a gas car..
Midsize?? 🤣
First
@Brian_Eugene_Lee Hey we do. Scram.
The Tesla model Y is so much better option, even if not as luxury as this Audi.
You ever done a road trip in a Model Y? It's both too stiff and bouncy, very loud road noise. Overall the Model Y feels cheap for what it costs.
Definitely not breaking any new ground here and lagging best in class EV on the market today. Yawn.
Broooo 285 mile range? That’s horrible and no emphasis on it’s horrendous range makes this whole vid feel like a commercial instead of a review. U do your viewers no justice.
Audi may have good build Quality but im sorry this car exterior and interior is just screaming boring. I dont know what it is but Auidi charge insane prices foe cars that fade to the back always
Yawn, its still a silly ICE car design. For one it has an ICE car grill. Second, the range is pathetic. If you want to sell more electric cars give them a longer range. I ignore everything completely with less than 300 miles. Real interest come at 400 mi.
That way, you can drive all day without range anxiety. Meaning the time behind the wheel will exhaust the driver before it does the car. Hopefully, more hotels/motel will start to offer power stations so car can be refueled while you rest/sleep.
The only pro of this car is that is still has a panoramic sunroof that opens, and a real spare tire. Which is likely a result of it being built on an ICE platform not one dedicated specifically for EV (which hopeful will design in enough space for a real spare tire. Especially if its an off-road EV.
What a joke! 285 mile range??? and does that include having the AC, the radio and using any electrical outlets? I don't think so! So basically it will probably hit 225 miles before it needs a full charge again. When is Audi going to come up with a e-tron that has at least a 425 mile range?
An electric vehicle made by the least reliable brand on the planet. What could possibly go wrong?
Least reliable brand in the planet is Alfa or fiat or any exotic brand
@@naveenthemachine I may have been over exaggerating a bit, but VW/Audi are definitely junk vehicles
@@naveenthemachine It's right down there at the bottom third of the reliable list. The also fall like a rock at trade in time.
I would not buy this model the new upcoming q6 is a much better vehicle because it is a dedicated electric frame better range far better displays better charging. I hope it comes out with vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle to home charging as well.
The price is for the name 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Temp spare tire??!! Sold!!
seriosly 285 miles range.
