2024 Audi Q8 e-tron SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron is a midsize electric SUV sold in Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels. All versions feature a dual-motor powertrain layout (402 horsepower with Boost mode active) that provides all-wheel-drive traction and draws power from a battery pack with usable capacity of 106 kWh (114 kWh gross). The higher-performance SQ8 e-tron is reviewed separately on Edmunds. Keep reading for additional information on the Q8 e-tron's range, charging capabilities and standard features.

For at-home charging or when using a Level 2 station, the 9.2-kW onboard charger can recharge the vehicle in about 13 hours. Newly optional for this year is a 19.2-kW charger that can reduce that time to 6.5 hours. The electric SUV can also charge at DC stations at a rate of 170 kW, allowing the Q8 e-tron to charge from 10% to 80% capacity in 31 minutes.

Which Q8 e-tron trim does Edmunds recommend?

While the entry-level Premium has a lot of content, there are a few features missing that you should expect in an SUV at this price point. Upgrade to the Premium Plus for a little more, and you'll add desirable features like cooled front seats, a 360-degree parking camera, configurable interior lighting and a ripping Bang & Olufsen sound system. You can also opt for the upgraded charging system (not available on the Premium), which cuts charging time significantly when you're topping up at home or at a Level 2 station.
