2024 Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron is an electric midsize luxury SUV that seats five. It's available in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. All have the same 106-kWh battery pack and dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. The motors put out 355 horsepower and 414 lb-ft of torque in normal use but can juice output to 402 horsepower and 490 lb-ft for up to 8 seconds at a time. The EPA-rated range for all three trims is 296 miles, although the optional Ultra package bumps the Premium's range up to an even 300 miles.
