Is the 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Sportback a NEW luxury SUV worth the price?

[@mattmekhaeil]

Audi does the best lighting, styling, and large grilles in the business. They’re beautiful

[@matthewesposito5177]

Volvo had all this technology since 2015 with heads up display! flat screen digital gauge cluster/ big touch screen full no buttons gloss black ect.... you like the name Audi and the statues it carires but its a glorified VW.

7:54 Always appreciate your highlights on the door panel. Nobody else really spends time to talk about it but I consider the particular area to be very important design and materialwise.

$92K is wild. Max I thought it would be is $75K.

Just wait a year will be 59k

A 2024 EV Q8? Are you insane? I agree that the cost is high but these german cars have always been overpriced

[@k3ngsfilms338]

Get a Q4 at those prices

[@timbao5083]

In Holland we pay this more than 100k euro, shit duty

[@drup3376]

Leased this Q8 ET SB white/brown prestige with black optic package and 10 spoke wheels (Jul 2023 in CA). Lease deal cap reduction = $7500 tax incentive + $3k from Audi + $3k from dealer. Chose it over rivals from BMW, MB, & Tesla (didn’t consider Jag). Each has their + & -. Q8 best interior, very quiet, and great ride. Poor range, so far 250-260 @ 100%, 205 - 210 @ 80%. So so charging infrastructure, but we charge at home. If we travel we need a break every 250 mi anyway.

This is the right EV from Audi I want to buy.

While I'd rather have the normal SUV, I want to buy this, preferably in Prestige trim, in a few years when I can afford it.

[@mervinprone]

It’s nice that they added the Q8 to the name because it is a Q8. But I’m still going to buy the combustion engine because they’re just so good, especially the twin turbo V8.

The ICE Q8 is a very different car than this on a different platform. I have the Etron and it is MUCH smaller than the Q8. Not sure why Audi rebadged the regular Etron to Q8 Etron.

Nope, this car is just a bit bigger than Q5. Previous Q8 really big

[@Oneness100]

I would personally wait until they figure out a replacement battery that won't catch on fire, get better range, won't take as much room, faster charging, cost less, and for them to start using axial flux motors, which are more power dense, weigh a LOT less. EV's are STILL in their infancy. For a modern EV, they literally barely a decade old. Look how long it took the auto industry to pull as much power as they can from ICE engines. They pull 400 HP out of a 2L 4 cylinder engines in cars whereas 50 years ago, they barely got that much out of an 8 cylinder engine that's literally over 3x the displacement. I remember my father owned a Mercedes 6.3 300 SEL and it was a 6.3 Liter engine with 300HP. And at the time it was one of the fastest production cars on the market.

I said it once and I'll say it again, Audi and Porsche are the only two German brands where the "coupe" style of SUVs doesn't look absolutely horrendous. I'm looking at you, Mercedes Benz GLE Coupe and BMW X6. Also, thank you Audi for calling your "coupe" SUVs, Sportbacks. xD

EV are priced way too high. They are catering to the rich. What about us normal citizens who might wanna think EV but are priced too high. Auto makers need to come down to reality

[@wilber8260]

But, in the long term it isnt too expensive. Consider that the fuel (electricity) is much cheaper thant gasoline. Maintenance is cheap and infrequent as compared to an ICE car. And EV drivetrains last more than twice as many miles as an ICE drivetrain.

[@AutoYoung]

Like any new tech you pay to be an early adopter. EV’s are still relatively new and are still making new advancements. There are used EV’s and plug-in hybrids that are more cost effective. But don’t forget about the government discounts offered for buying an EV or hybrid vehicle to help subsidize the cost…
