We took our new Q8 etron on a 1000 mile roadtrip. After driving just about 500 miles @ mostly 80mph on 21" wheels we L2 charged overnight to 100% and saw 450 miles on the GOM. When driving locally we see about 270 miles of range. So the more efficient motors show up at lower speeds where the regen is probably more effective too. This is our 3rd etron and we really like it.

I test drive the Q8 e-Tron and it's on par with my old EV6 GT Line with range, beats the EV6 on charge speed, Audi charge curve is epic. Seen 280 REAL miles from the Q8 e-Tron with faster driving, 300+ is doable with slower driving speeds for sure. BTW.. Anyone who tells you their EV6 sees 300+ REAL miles on range in lying, I tracked my EV6 driving with GPS over 19 months, 300ish GOM miles really means 270ish miles range is real life (summer time) 250 in winter. My Older e-Tron 55 is seeing 230 miles in summer which is pretty good, winter probs sub 200. Remember, eTron is a big car!

Really glad you did this video comparison.. I just took out a 3 year lease on the previous model prior to this facelift and was wondering if I should have waited.
Other than the extended range, the pre-facelift seems to still be a good option due to that amazing charge curve.

I have the pre facelift E-tron 55 SB. I can do 400km on a full charge with 21" factory wheels in summer. Winter however is a different story. It does up to 300 km range with stock 19" winter setup. Still a very good car even today, with 2017 technology.

[nickbien]

thanks for doing the test on stock wheels. Bjorn did it on aftermarket wheels and I think those aftermarket wheels aren't as good for aerodynamics compared to stock wheels. So it's nice to see the efficiency with audis efficiency improvements. (bumpers, wheel spoilers and new wheel designs)

Hi Kris, please try to get hold of a BMW iX xDrive 50 to test out. Thanks.

[Dosdos]

Good Test! For cooling you must also consider that battery likes temperature arround 15°C so with 24°C- 27°C outside temperature you need a lot of energy cooling the battery. Tho i think result is on pair with the EQS SUV 450 4matic which runs on 10°C lower temperature. It could use the heate from the drive train to heat the interior. The E-tron had to cool interior and battery.

[martinholzinger]

Many thanks for this test. It`s a really nice car. Great looks and very comfy! And the consumption seems to be better than in the old version. But it`s still massive, when compared to similar cars. My BMW iX50 would be somewhere below 23kw under similar conditions.

[lucabraglia]

Hi Kris, unfortunately there is no user preconditioning possibility for the Q8 battery...

[lenardpap]

Would you do the same test, with 19 inches wheels?

[sezersen]

How much range in high way? Speed 160-180 km..

[csimbach]

How much range would etron q8 sportback 55 with regular wheels be?

[kasiameger]

Check Bjørn, this is real test.Nobody was close to this range as here..

[goldilock]

You say it's not too bad for consumption, but it's very, very bad. Moreover, you used it very carefully. Even so, the range for this vehicle is max 300km.

I wish you showed how much it can charge because it doesn't charge more than 98kwa.

[Hshshsjsjsjsh]

With the same conditions I drive 21kw/100km with my Etron 55

[darinbrazil]

That's only 2.4 miles per kilowatt, not good at all. We have owned our 2019 e-tron for a little over a month or 2, 000 miles of driving and are averaging 2.8 miles per kilowatt.
