Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Home-to-office commute up to 60 km in pure electric. Overnight charging is sufficient. 1st of 5 in Combined range (1779 km), 1st of 5 in Thermal cons. estimated (4.4 L/100), 1st of 5 in 0–100 km/h (5.0 s).

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Audi Q7 SUV (1st with 77 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 74 km pure electric (mid-table)

With a full battery, the Q8 SUV drives in pure electric mode for the first 74 km WLTP - placing it 3rd of 5 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Audi Q7 SUV (77 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the Q8 SUV behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

Audi Q8 SUV: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the Q8 SUV rank in its segment?

Among the 5 E-SUV plug-in hybrid 2023–2027, the Q8 SUV ranks 3rd of 5 in Electric WLTP range (74 km, behind the Audi Q7 SUV), 1st of 5 in Combined range (1779 km, behind the Audi Q8 SUV), 1st of 5 in Thermal cons. estimated (4.4 L/100, behind the Audi Q8 SUV), 1st of 5 in 0–100 km/h (5.0 s, behind the Audi Q8 SUV).

What is the électrique range of the Q8 SUV?

74 km WLTP announced - making it the 3rd of 5 in Electric WLTP range out of 5 models. The reference is the Audi Q7 SUV (77 km).

How much does the Q8 SUV cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Audi Q7 SUV instead?

The Audi Q7 SUV leads in Electric WLTP range (77 km vs 74 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Q8 SUV vs Audi Q7 SUV duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
