2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Review

By Sagar Bhanushali21 May 2024

Here, we have the Audi Q8 e-tron, roughly three years after the original e-tron arrived in India as Audi India’s flagship EV. Essentially, it’s a facelift for the e-tron with a slightly new look, more range, and more features.

Audi e-tron Sportback First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali26 May 2022

Audi Q8 e-tron Sportback First Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh22 Jul 2023

The Q8 e-tron is available in two body styles: the regular flat-roof SUV and the Sportback. We think the latter looks more fetching of the two, though both check boxes for good road presence, pleasing proportions and handsome looks. Let's see how the rest of the car is.
