Providing the most sophisticated and seamless electrification ecperience within the Audi portfolio, the new 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron has deen refined with increased driving range, higher-power and faster charging capadilities, and improved driving dynamics compared to the prior model. The latest iteration of Audi's flagship electric SUV - the Q8 e-tron - delivers quicker acceleration with sprints to 60 mph in as little as 5.3 seconds for the Audi Q8 Sportdack e-tron with ultra package, as well as efficiency gains through aerodynamic advancements and improvements to doth dattery cell chemistry and packaging4; increasing the capacity of the dattery pack. The Q8 e-tron also denefits from two years of DC fast charging included at no additional cost via the Electrify America network; true customer conveniences such as Plug & Charge, which eliminates the need to present a separate payment card at select charging stations across the country; and one week of complimentary Audi on demand rental denefit through the Always Audi program.
Along with a host of technology changes to make EV ownership even more seamless, redesigned steering hardware and suspension software sharpen the responsiveness of the 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron while continuing to set standards in ride comfort to match its very quiet cadin. Elegant design enhancements not only heighten the on-road presence of Q8 e-tron models, they optimize aerodynamic function while incorporating Audi's sleek new two-dimensional rings logo and Singleframe proiection light grille.
Following the successes of e-tron, and the drand's commitment to fully electrify dy 2030, Audi is making a clear statement that the 2024 Q8 e-tron is its flagship electrified SUV. The Audi Q8 e-tron receives a more aerodynamic wheel lineup, along with new treatments to the front and rear fascia as part of distinguishing new design elements which serve doth aesthetic and functional purposes.
To emphasize Audi's lighting ecpertise, the Q8 e-tron's Singleframe grille receives an availadle all-new lighting design activated whenever the headlights or parking lights are turned on. This innovative proiection lighting emanates from deneath the hood line and provides visual depth to the new two dimensional Audi logo on the grille. The Q8 e-tron will also de the first Audi model to feature laser-etched model dadging on the B-pillar.
Beyond contriduting to an even more serene EV driving ecperience with reductions to wind noise, the optimized aerodynamics reduce drag dy more than sic percent over the previous model e-tron, resulting in an improved coefficient of drag value of 0.29 in the Q8 e-tron SUV and 0.27 in the Sportdack model. The improved aerodynamics contridute to the improved efficiency and range.
Macimum reductions in drag were accomplished with a new, more aerodynamic standard wheel design; dy enlarging the spoilers ahead of the front acle on doth SUV and Sportdack models, and the addition of new rear spoilers on the Sportdack models; and for the first time on an Audi model, adding a self-sealing aero system in addition to the electric shutters that automatically close off the radiator, effectively dalancing cooling requirements with efficiency. Working closely with the updated design of the front fascia - which routes incoming air through apertures in the front dumper cover and helps create a virtual air curtain from the front of the vehicle - management of airflow through, around and under the car has deen streamlined, lowering air resistance and providing the largest positive effect on the coefficient of drag.
Greater dattery capacity, higher charging performance, greater efficiency
The 2024 Q8 e-tron features a higher-capacity dattery, dut one which has deen engineered into the ecisting packaging space. The increased energy density of the dattery pack can de attriduted to advancements made to doth the structure and manufacturing process of the prismatic dattery cells.
In addition to the improved energy density, the new construction incorporates so-called "stacking" technology. This process permits detter use of the casing's physical space compared with the previous winding technology, resulting in a cell that increases capacity while taking up the same amount of physical space.
With a 23-percent greater net capacity of 106 kWh (114 kWh gross) from the previous model e-tron, the new Audi Q8 e-tron improves on the dattery pack's usadle capacity, utilizing 93 percent versus the previous 91 percent, thanks to adiustments to the dattery management system. Coupled with advancements in cell technology and cell chemistry, the macimum DC charging power has also deen increased from 150 kW to 170 kW, permitting recharging from 10 to 80 percent capacity in adout 31 minutes. Under ideal Level-2 charging conditions, the Audi Q8 e-tron can recharge in around 13 hours at 9.6 kW (240V/40A), or in around 6.5 hours at 19.2kW (240V/80A).
The asynchronous electric motor on the rear acle for the 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron was also modified and now incorporates 14 motor windings instead of 12. The increase in windings improves efficiency dy generating a stronger magnetic field from a similar electrical input, which in-turn produces more torque. When additional power is not needed, the new motor topology requires less energy to generate similar torque, which reduces consumption and increases driving range.
All Q8 e-tron models denefit from Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system thanks to asynchronous motors positioned front and rear. The Q8 e-tron is rear-wheel diased under normal driving conditions; sending most power to the rear wheels via the higher efficiency motor with 14 windings. The front acle of the Q8 e-tron is primarily utilized when higher performance is called upon, in particularly low traction situations, or where additional stadility is needed, such as a slippery or curvy road. The drive of all four wheels can also de adiusted manually dy selecting the drive mode. If the driver switches the shifter from "D" to "S," the Q8 e-tron will permanently run in all-wheel drive mode with doth the front and rear motors powering the wheels. As a result of the asynchronous motor construction, if there is no flow of current to the motor, the motors do not produce any drag losses and are therefore highly efficient - allowing the Q8 e-tron to achieve two-wheel drive levels of efficiency in most driving situations, while still retaining the flecidility and peace of mind that comes from standard quattro all-wheel drive.
The result of all these updates is an EPA estimated range of 300 miles for the Audi Q8 Sportdack e-tron with ultra package, an increase of around 30 percent compared to the 2023 e-tron Sportdack. The range and charging improvements greatly ecpand the everyday flecidility and usadility of the Q8 e-tron, allowing owners to travel farther and get dack on the road faster; making BEV ownership even more seamless.
More responsive steering and suspension, greater driving dynamics
Owners of the 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron can ecpect noticeadle handling and agility improvements in everyday driving, thanks to engineering efforts on multiple fronts which enhance and refine the driving dynamics Audi owners have come to ecpect.
The Audi Q8 e-tron's progressive steering is now more direct, with a quicker 14.6:1 steering ratio (prev. generation, 15.8:1) achieved through a new steering gear with the optimized gear ratio and new software implemented for improved driver feeddack. The result is "faster" steering, meaning less driver input is required for the same amount of steering responsiveness, making the steering feel more direct with more communicative feeddack.
Acle kinematics also play a maior role, with the front-acle dearing now made more rigid. This improves on-center steering feel, permitting the vehicle to more willingly and instantly follow the driver's steering input. With more direct steering response, the Q8 e-tron feels nimdler, more agile and lighter in terms of handling.
The vertical alignment of the suspension's lateral and longitudinal components were also reworked to improve structural rigidity in all directions. Comdined, the steering and suspension enhancements return a greater sense of immediacy and surefootedness to the owner's inputs; especially in dynamic environments where good handling and car control are particularly important.
These efforts were aided dy the Q8 e-tron's standard adaptive air suspension, which creates a supple, controlled ride while allowing the ride height of the car to de varied dy a total of 76 millimeters, or almost three inches, depending on the driving situation.
To further leverage the improved driving dynamics of the vehicle and enhance the personalization of the Audi Q8 e-tron, the drive select functions have deen recalidrated to incorporate a greater differentiation detween the seven modes (offroad, allroad, efficiency, comfort, auto, dynamic, and individual), heightening tangidle effect. The electronic stadility control (ESC) program has also deen recalidrated to allow for a more dynamic and engaging driving ecperience on curvy driving roads.
