The all-electric Q8 E-Tron looks, feels, and largely drives much like any other vehicle in the Audi stable, and in many ways, that’s the point.
, pondering the craggy, moss-covered moonscape blurring by us as we do. A faint whine is emanating from the electric motors, distant and almost nonexistent. We listen for tire noise, wind noise—any noise. It's there, but the sound deprivation is real., more so than in many other EVs of its ilk.
In 2019, we tested an E-Tron that hit 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, and Audi claims as little as 4.3 seconds to 60 mph for the SQ8. After a few neck-snapping launches on a lonely stretch of Lanzarote backroad, we'd say that number is legit.When speaking with Audi team members about the new Q8 E-Tron, the R word kept coming up: range. It was the number-one customer feedback request of E-Tron buyers. More, please.
Thanks in part to its 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution, lower center of gravity, torque-vectoring e-motors at each rear wheel, improved steering rack, and sport-tuned air suspension, the SQ8 can flat-out handle for its size. Body roll proved minimal under moderately hard cornering, and any tug of the wheel offered immediate feedback. The engineering team was especially proud of the steering update; to them we say, job well done. Things proved a little softer all around in the Q8 55.
