Since the start of production in 2018, Audi has released seven, now eight, electric SUVs under the e-Tron label, with another twelve already in the works for delivery by 2026. With the introduction of the future Q8 e-Tron crossover SUV on Wednesday, the firm formally debuted the next edition of its premium EV range after months of teasing.
The Q8 e-Tron and Sportback versions will be available for purchase beginning next spring, with three AWD powertrain options: a Q8 50, a Q8 55, and the top-of-the-line SQ8. The basic model Q8 50 e-Tron has a 250 kW (335 HP) engine with 490 lb-ft of torque, a 0-60 time of 6 seconds, a maximum range of 306 miles for the SUV body type and 313 miles for the Sportback.
