CarTell take
We haven't driven the Q8 e-tron yet. On paper, if you do not need the bigger boot or the tow rating, the Q6 e-tron is the smarter buy. Confirm virtual mirror option matches your driving style, the small OLED displays take getting used to.
Why consider it
- Up to 582 km WLTP on the 55 e-tron with the 114 kWh battery, and a genuine 1,800 kg braked tow rating that few EVs match.
- 569 L boot is class leading, plus a 62 L frunk.
- SQ8 tri motor delivers 370 kW with rear torque vectoring.
What to know
- 400V architecture means 170 kW DC peak is mid pack at this money.
- The newer Q6 e-tron is cheaper, charges faster and is almost as roomy.
- 5 year warranty trails Polestar and Korean rivals.
Who it suits
EV tow owners chasing a real 1,800 kg braked rating, large luxury families wanting the biggest Audi EV boot, long range tourers happy with 170 kW DC peak, and performance EV buyers drawn to the SQ8 tri motor.
