The Audi Q8 EV SUV Comes With More Power Than An R8 E-Tron
The Audi Q8 EV SUV Comes With More Power Than An R8 E-Tron-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:21

Here's your sneak peek at Audi's top of the range forever coming Model X. The Q8 also plays a vital role in Audi's electric car strategy.

I got the impression at the Geneva Motor Show that Audi only presented the fancy hybrid wagon to prove that it's indeed possible to jam even more LED screens into a cabin than what we're currently experiencing.

As it turns out, we should also look at that car once more to get clues about their upcoming electric SUV's styling, which "will be more coupe like" than the seven-seater Q7 according to Audi's Head of R&D Prof. Hackenberg.

that the Q8 is based on the same basic MLB platform , but features a battery pack that is rumored to be 10kWh bigger than . That still won't give the larger and heavier SUV as much range as the electric R8 has, but in exchange, you get an interior as luxurious as an A8's as well as some off road capability thanks to the adjustable air suspension.

While the Q8 will be aimed at Chinese, Middle-Eastern and European buyers as well as Americans, it's an important factor in Audi's strategy that eight US states will require 15% of new cars sold per manufacturer to be electric by 2025.

So, expect a whole lot more e-trons coming up.

I Want To Love This Jeep Wrangler-Ram 2500 Hybrid But It's Just So Hideous
Combining the versatile body of a Jeep Wrangler with the beefy, Cummins-powered chassis of a Ram 2500 sounds like a brilliant idea. Maybe. But someone in New Jersey did just that, and the result is one of the strangest looking Jeeps I’ve ever seen. A number of readers have sent...

Will The Ford Bronco II Ever Get A Chance To Be Cool?
The value of old SUVs has continued to climb since we years ago. I’m convinced that in the not-too-distant future, anything with four-wheel drive that looks vaguely rugged will be selling for too much money. A year ago I would have said “except for the Bronco II,” but now I’m...

We don’t know whether we should call this creation a Nissan Patrol or a Volkswagen Bus at this point, but it gets very muddy and that’s all that really matters. (You can access YouTube’s English captions by clicking the gear icon on the video.) The mad Dutchmen on Mastermilo’s YouTube...
