Even though it’s the entry level for the  models it comes with all the Audi luxury and safety you would expect.

Inside its spacious, comfortable and especially quiet.

Q8 50 e-tron comes with a 95-kWh battery pack that fuels two electric motors—one on each axle. These deliver a combined peak output of 250 kW and torque of 664 Nm.

This powertrain propels the Q8  from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.0 seconds and just 6.0 seconds in boost mode. That’s not a sports SUV, but it’s still dam quick. Top speed is capped at 200km/h.

What is impressive is the way it drives. Instant torque and responsiveness at any speed.

For a large and heavy SUV, its nimbleness and responsiveness is engaging. The Q8 SUV benefits from an improved steering ratio, which promotes more direct responsiveness to driver direction. It definitely feels lighter at speed.

The new SUV benefits from a combination of its sophisticated suspension system, precise steering, and the all-wheel drive with quattro.

It displays a level of ride and handling that is quiet, smooth, and predictable.

The latest Audi is priced from $140,600 plus the usual costs
