The 2023 Audi Q8 e-tron is a battery-electric SUV with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the GE generation. The 55 quattro is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 55 quattro version develops 408 hp and 664 Nm (490 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 5.6 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 200 km/h (124 mph). Its power output is about 27% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 13% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 106.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 484 km (301 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 20.5 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 170 kW. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,915 mm (193.5 in) in length, 1,937 mm (76.3 in) in width, and 1,633 mm (64.3 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,928 mm (115.3 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 569 litres (20.1 cu ft), expanding to 1,637 litres (57.8 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,595 kg (5,721 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 2,500 kg (5,512 lb). That cargo volume is about 7% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 50 quattro and 55 quattro. Across the range, the specifications span 340 hp to 408 hp, 5.6 s to 6.0 s, and 409 km to 484 km, while listed starting prices run from $70,800-$74,400. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2023 Audi Q8 e-tron is strongest on towing capacity and power, while price stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
