Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2025 Audi Q8 e-tron
First-generation e-tron/Q8 e-tron family (2019-2025); second year after the major 2024 refresh and rename, and the final US model year.
Audi positions the Q8 e-tron as its large, flagship-style electric SUV: quiet, roomy, upscale, and easy to live with rather than aggressively futuristic. The regular Q8 e-tron leans into everyday SUV usefulness, while the Sportback pairs the same luxury-EV formula with a sleeker roofline. Across the range, Audi’s message centers on premium cabin quality, strong all-wheel-drive traction, fast DC charging, and long-distance comfort for buyers who want an EV that still feels like a traditional luxury Audi.
The Q8 e-tron remains a large electric luxury SUV with dual-motor AWD, adaptive air suspension, a panoramic roof, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen. Premium Plus adds features such as ventilated front seats, premium audio, and a surround-view camera, while Prestige brings massaging front seats, a head-up display, and soft-close doors. The S line versions pair similar equipment levels with the Sportback's sloping rear roofline.
