2024 audi Q8 e-tron and Q8 e-tron Sportback First Drive: New Frontiers
2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Photo: D.Heyman • Auto123 gets in a first drive of the 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron and Q8 Sportback e-tron.• The e-tron gains Q8 moniker and styling that is a sign of things to come for the brand.
Speaking of that logo, it’s now a 2D item. Audi says this new design provides a cleaner and more streamlined look. That’s fine, but you have to think that there will be those that will miss Audi’s proper 3D emblem. The laser-etched badging on the b-pillars is another signature we’ll see on more Audis going forward.
It starts with the materials used. Top-quality leather graces every appropriate surface, for instance the dash upper to reduce glare, the centre armrest for more comfort and the seats. Plus there are brushed aluminum inserts on some models, suede on others. Even the dash insert created from recycled water bottles found on the Launch Edition looks high-quality.
Cargo space takes a bigger hit in the latter, as volume behind the rear seats drops from 807 to 770 litres. Both editions do have underfloor storage and a frunk. Get creative, and a weekend getaway for a family of four is perfectly doable in the Sportback.
