About the Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron

What the Critics Say
"Audi's massaging seats are top notch and the virtual cockpit works seamlessly. Navigation is crisply displayed on the upper 10.1-inch screen, directions clearly spelled out in advance of each turn, voice commands clear and succinct. One cool feature is a traffic light countdown that lets you know when an approaching stoplight will turn color and if you are stopped at a red light, it counts down the seconds until it turns green." - MotorTrend
"With standard four-corner air suspension and adaptive damping, it was a refined and comfortable car in which to tootle through all that construction traffic, dispatching hard-edged expansion joints with poise and control. Even in its cushiest setting, the suspension is still reasonably firm - more so at freeway speeds when the car automatically hunkers down lower for aerodynamic reasons - but it never feels harsh or unyielding." - InsideEVs
What's New for 2024
