![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Audi concept with asynchronous motors is not very efficient, especially in the partial load range. The energy costs are correspondingly higher for every kilometre driven.Ĭonsumption was already not a strong point in the e-tron quattro. Of course, this also means that the consumption of the Q8 e-tron is a good deal higher – between 5 and 8 kWh per 100 kilometres depending on the driving style, and sometimes even more on short journeys or fast motorway stages. While you are unlikely to feel the six-tenths of a second in everyday driving, after several thousand kilometres in the Model Y and a few hundred kilometres in the Q8 e-tron, we were able to determine that the practical range for both vehicles is roughly between 300 and 400 kilometres – depending on the driving profile and environment. But because the Tesla is more than 700 kilograms lighter, the Long Range accelerates (again, on paper) 0.6 seconds faster than the 55 Q8 e-tron. But it is also a fact that with 114 kWh (106 kWh net), the Audi needs a much larger battery to surpass the Model Y in terms of standard range. On paper, a comparison that is still important for many customers goes to the Audi: the Sportback has a WTLP range of up to 600 kilometres, the Tesla up to 565 kilometres – in both cases, however, equipment-specific features are not taken into account, these are the values of the most economical equipment. No longer half as much as the red Q8 e-tron, but still significantly cheaper. If you add the ‘Midnight Cherry Red’, the black 20-inch wheels and the extended Autopilot to get to a comparable level, the Tesla also costs 66,867.50 euros. Admittedly, the rough calculation we made at the beginning with the double price only works for the Model Y Long Range without any extras. With a few technical features, the gross list price quickly reaches six figures.Ī Tesla Model Y Long Range – if you take the drive variant with the longest range, as with the Q8 e-tron – is available for as little as 57,667.50 euros before subsidies. The “comfort centre armrest in the front” costs only 200 euros. The seat ventilation costs another 800 euros extra, the “individual contour seats” 2,500 euros and the ‘Valcona’ leather 2,350 euros. For example, electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors (350 euros), an automatically dimming interior mirror (175 euros), and even the seat heating for the front seats has to be paid for (350 euros). However, many features that customers expect in a car in this price range cost extra. In other words, you must pay if you don’t want the standard colour. For example, the ‘Soneria Red’ paint costs an extra 1,800 euros, details such as the red brake callipers cost 400 euros, the black exterior mirror housings 350 euros, and so on. But that a premium car from a German manufacturer can be customised with all kinds of (high-margin) extras in terms of paint, rims and leather seats has practically become part of the business model. Admittedly, even with this battery and the 300 kW drive, the Q8 e-tron Sportback is available from 87,550 euros. ![]() It is painted in ‘Soneira Red Metallic’ and has a new 114 kWh battery. The 2024 Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron parked in front of our house costs 115,400 euros. The test car Audi gave us is more or less twice as expensive as the Tesla Model Y Long Range, one of the best-selling electric cars. With the Q8 e-tron, Audi has launched the revised version of its first electric car, the e-tron quattro. ![]()
