The model name, Q8, positions the model at the top of Audi's nomenclature, making a clear statement that the Audi Q8 e-tron is the leading model in the electric SUV and crossover range. At first glance, there is no mistaking that the Audi Q8 e-tron* and Q8 Sportback e-tron* are allelectric models: the new front and rear design, which systematically build on Audi's electric design language, make this clear. As a prestigious electric Audi SUV, the Q8 e-tron* introduces the new corporate identity with a two-dimensional, no-frills design of the four rings. The model name in Audi lettering on the B-pillar is also new. To ensure the new family logo has an even more striking appearance on the front, Audi will now use the Singleframe light spoiler to highlight the four rings as a central element and showcase the vehicle face on request.
Audi offers the new Q8 e-tron as a classic SUV and a dynamically styled Sportback, that combines the spaciousness of an SUV with the elegant lines of a large coupé.
