I’m waiting for Q6 e tron to come out so I can bargain the heck out of the Q8 e tron. Dealerships will be pushing hard on the Q8 e tron once Q6 e tron is out!

This is my take as well. Might as well take advantage of the excellent lease deals on the q8 etron and then revisit the q6 on a few years after the initial bugs are worked out.

Very interesting 👌 thxx we think 1st to take a new model (because Audi is not always up to date 😅) but I prefer the look of the Q8 definitely

Amazing video thank you so much. It’s just what I was looking for. How do you see electric Macan versus Q8 etron in terms of luxury experience?

I have a 2024 Q8 Etron and i can charge my car in under 30 minutes. So they have corrected that. Also the interior is fantastic. The people complaining about the buttons ect.. are delusional! I get compliments over and over from the exterior to the plush interior. Just a fantastic vehicle especially coming from the Q7

Great break down on both and actually is a question I would be asking myself early next year when I need to swap vehicle.. I agree from the waist up, the interior looks nice and funky in the Q6 but that doesn't mean the Q8 is bad. One question, does the Q6 have air suspension also, as I love that about the Q8 ride.

Please compare the Q6 e-tron to the Polestar 3.

I totally agree. I had e-tron, now have q8 etron, wife q4 etron. Q6 is overpriced while being much more q4 than q8. Not to mention that ugly dashboard screen that looks rediculous in terms of design and let's not forget the scandalous one-piece-multi-button touch. Even in q4 touch buttons on a steering wheel is a disgrace and whoever approved that should be fired out of whole automotive sector. Truth be told Q6 does look stunning from outside. Good review, thanks!

Audi uk are saying the Q6 is only being sold at an “agency” price so there can be no discounts by the dealer. The dealers just get a fee from Audi for the sale.

Another major difference. Towing capacity. The Q8 can "only" pull 1.800 kg. With their manual tow hook. However the Q6 can pull up to 2.400 kg. And it has a semi electric tow hook. So much stronger and much more convenient. That's almost worth the price difference alone 😂

I'm having the same dilemma. While I haven't driven either, I think my pick for right now is the Q8 E-tron 55 SUV with the 20" wheels. The trim I'd choose is the Prestige (North American spec). I have a 2022 A4 45, but am thinking about going EV in the next 2 to 4 years. Maybe my mind will change by then. Who knows?

The main advantage of Q6 is that it has a more efficient drive train it take 3-5 less kWh/100km according to WLTP and it manages to make between 7% to 12% more range from a smaller battery with 11kWh. This is quite impressive. Q8 is nicer on interior but is on a very heavy and inefficient platform. In my opinion Q6 should be 10.000€ cheaper, but even at this price it’s a better choice.

KEMPOWER charging stations are very nice and well made, including the software compared to other charging stations filled with software bugs and other issues...

One of the things that is decisive for me when choosing a car is how the infotainment system is designed, therefore I would never choose the Q8, want the screen for map display etc. higher up.

I'd say the Q8 e tron looks a lot better. The Q6 e tron doesn't have very good proportions. But I'm sure the Q6L e tron the lwb of the Q6 that will be introduced in few days in China, will look better than the Q6

If you don't like to waste a lot of money, stay away from both of them! My own experience after three years with the E-tron and 75,000 miles has given me a loss in value of NOK 500,000. From NOK 860,000 to NOK 360,000 with possible trade-in at Audi.😣😂

We had a '19 & '21 etron before our current Q8 etron. We find the current Q8 etron just perfect for our use. We have made many multiday long range roadtrips with the Q8 and frind the range and charging speed adaquate for our use. The interior & cargo space is perfect for picking up visitors at the airport. I am suprised the Q6 doesn't get more range, especially after BMW does so well with their iX. With more charging stations popping up everyday range is not such a big concern anymore. It's been said the Q8 doesn't win on paper specs but when you get in and drive the Q8 it's all smiles.

09:30 I don't think the Q8 has battery preconditioning, even when navigating to a charger. The original e-tron 55 at least lacks that, and I don't think they added that capability in the Q8 facelift.

Wow... What a nice postion ... Shall I buy a Q6 etron or Q8 etron?? Imagine just having that amount of money just sitting around..!!

If the Q6 is expensive compared to the Q8 why is @krisrifa then buying a Macan which is basically the same as the Q6 for a way higher price? Even the SQ6 with my options is at least 10000 euros cheaper than the Macan EV.

7:00 So sad considering the old etron came from a 25 min. 10-80 charging time. 😥

This is Perfect - thank you! Been umming and ahing about whether I should look at changing up from the 2019 e-tron which has for the most part, been perfect. The only thing that has been a bug bear is the MMI system which just feels dated but also some of the promised functionality around FOD never worked. Given there is not much change between the e-tron 2019 and Q8 e-tron bar a handful of range which for me, is not an issue..and now between the Q6 and Q8 all you're really getting is a bit less space overall, and a newer MMI system wrapped around with cheaper materials... I don't think I'll look at changing anytime soon

Thx. I have same conclusions here in France. (Etron owner) Yes this Q6 Etron seems great. But for about the same price, Q8 Etron gives probably more. So i really need to try this new one to know which i should buy. 😂

If you ask me, counting days when I can finally return my etron, do not get either. There are amazing choices right now and Audi is faaaaaaar from that... even Kodiaq whoops Audis

4:01 Wow, 96 % as good...is not far away from 99 % as good. 😇

I have q8

Why they still make a grill on ev cars ???

You could skip saying "etron" and give that time to better pronunciation of a model number. Because of "queue e etron" was hard to match to Q8 actually. Those "6", "4", "E" meh..

What it’s amazing of these cars is the absolutely ridiculous resale value I have a Q8 etron 55 from November 2023, with 4500 km, and Audi offered just 30k eur to repurchase it .. I even announced it online at 70k and did not receive any single reply, not even an offer The car is wonderful, I will keep it for years to come, but this is VERY BAD I mean, very very bad This will be my last Audi, for sure and for ever

Having owned a 2023 Audi Etron 55 S-line sportback for a while now and done a few thousand miles in it, I have to say I disagree with this analysis. This car is by far the worst car I have ever owned in the last 15 years. The tech is intrusive, not logical and 80% of it you'll never use. It has a habit of changing screens without command. Some settings it remembers on start up and others is doesn't. But its biggest issue is in the driver experience. It wallows in the corners and all the different driver settings make no difference. Its sluggish on acceleration because Audi limit the power in all settings, even in Dynamic mode, so you'll never get the claimed 5.6sec 0-60 accept for the first time you engage dynamic mode and only for 7 seconds (ridiculous idea Audi). Having said that, this chassis isn't capable of using its full power anyway. The cars steering has virtual no feel to the wheels, so you're constantly making guesswork small steering inputs to keep it straight, which consequently means it "fidgets" on the road, particularly motorways and that in turn activates the "keep in lane" steering, which is very aggressive to the point of being dangerous. Yes, I can turn that off, but it doesn't remember that setting so I have to remember to turn it off every time I get in the car! With all the said tech on this car, now let's look at what's missing... No full TPI monitoring (deleted by Audi in 2023 on European cars to save money). No one pedal driving. For a car that weighs over 2.5 tonnes that makes this car cumbersome to drive in slow traffic. It has no "creep" function to mimic ICE auto gearboxes, this makes certain driving situations difficult. For example reversing into a tight parking space that's slightly uphill, as you lift off the throttle, the car will roll forward, which is dangerous. I've not driven a Q4 or Q6 Etron, but those who have, say the Etron/Q8 is better, so I can only conclude these cars are truly terrible. Am I anti electric cars? No. My previous vehicle was a Jaguar i-Pace. That is the best car I have ever owned. In comparison to the Etron/Q8, the i-Pace is light years ahead. Double wishbone suspension, so it stays flat in corners. Torque vector braking, so it stays tight in corners, one pedal driving which works brilliantly and improves range. Creep function that allows you to pull onto roundabouts quickly and full power is available in every driving mode, so 0-60 in 4.3 secs is achievable every time and it gives supercar like acceleration for overtaking in an instant. The fit and finish on the i-Pace is on a par with the e tron and in my opinion the i-Pace has better, more comfortable seats too. The etron is so bad in comparison, I'm selling it to get another i-Pace. If you're watching this car review, test drive the Audi E-tron range first, then go and drive a i-Pace. There is no comparison, the i-Pace wins hands done on every front, including passenger space thanks to being wider and being longer between the wheels.

No one buys used etrons, they stand for month until they are bellow the price of an ID3...and I can understand after driving an eTron 55. This car is so awfully heavy that my wife got immediatelly moving sick in this heavy , fat beast. In each corner and each braking, you feel the mass inertia of this 2.6t hippo. Drove nine EVs in the meanwhile...worst was the Polestar 2 as a noisy tin can, but second is the eTron 55...never will consider again too touch this fat hippo. Most likely the Q6 is as fat as the Q8...
