What changes in the new Audi Q8 e-tron | Wired Italy

Audi Q8 e-tron and Q8 Sportback e-tron arrive: the hourglass of electric mobility runs fast towards 2035 and it is already time for restyling for those who, like Audi, were among the first to believe in the electric revolution of four wheels. But this time, the renewal is global: a make-up more decisive; a more extended autonomy; more dynamic driving characteristics and yes, even a new name. After four years of activity, the Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback are fully involved flagship models of the sport utility by Audi embracing the Q8 family. Same name as the thermal version, while maintaining one own aesthetic identity by pure electric. This is thanks to the front and rear design that reworks the style without distorting the language of Audi’s electric design. In addition, as the most representative model class of the vision electron-powered by Audi, the new Q8 e-tron and Q8 Sportback e-tron also usher in a new one brand identity with the new two-dimensional design of the four rings accompanied by the model inscription on the B pillar of the car.

The restyling further lower the drag coefficient in both models. The credit goes above all to new front and rear spoilers positioned near the wheel arches and the larger grille that closes hermetically. The size of the two sport utility undergo slight changes: as a representative we take the Q8 e-tron which measures 4.915 meters in length, 1.937 meters in width and 1.633 in height. The Sportback is 14 millimeters lower. The wheelbase remains unchanged at 2,928 meters and the luggage compartment capacity also changes slightly, which is now 569 and 528 liters respectively. In front, the frunk is 62 liters.
