Hi Rory, Hello from Denmark. I bought myself a Q8 e-tron 55, precisely for the reason that it gives a natural premium feeling, in my opinion, drives, and handles way better than the other luxury SUVs, and in addition looks a lot better than the rest of the SUVs. And now with the new massive battery, it gives me a range that is more than fine. And an underwhelming, understated car without Netflix, browsers, and games is in my modest Scandinavian vocabulary something pretty good😉.

@rv2167 11 ай бұрын

I agree. Canadian here. I don't find the range here such an issue since I can charge about 100km a night at home and I have a supercharger a few blocks from me. It's a dream to drive and the ability to raise/lower the suspension for when conditions get bad is a real luxury.

The Urus is in a completely different league when it comes to status, which is the main reason why people buy it. So no, if you are in the market for an Urus, you would 100% not consider buying a Q8. Instead, you would look at cars that are actual competitors to the Urus, such as the Aston Martin DBX or the Bentley Bentayga.

I have a 2019 etron tecknik. It is almost perfect save for its range and sheer impossibility to get any body work fixed. I was in a minor accident that took over 6 months to fix. Other than that it has the best interior of any car I've ever been in, the size is great, it drives like a dream and I mostly do city driving of 40-50km a day so I only really need to charge it every 2nd or 3rd day with a pretty weak level 2 charger in my garage. I bought it used for less than a new Model y would cost. I think from a value perspective it is hard to beat Tesla now that they lowered prices, but as a used car this vehicle was an excellent deal and I love it.

@toobasaurus23 Жыл бұрын

I think the market is family women that have had an Audi petrol SUV before. They want to transition to an EV with the same interior and controls they are used to, but don't care much about the cars performance or driver engagement. For those customers, it will be 'It's a nice car. It's lovely, smooth and quiet with no hassles'. That will be enough for those types of buyers.

@thezanzibarbarian5729 Жыл бұрын

The thing I hate about the camera side mirrors is once side mirrors are in the right position for my driving position, when I am driving, I can lean a little bit forwards or backwards, left or right to see more of what's behind me without the need to constantly adjust the mirrors. Plus as Rory said, these ones are set too low. You're having to take your eyes off the road ahead for to long.

@robertninic5555 11 ай бұрын

Personally, I love *not* having "one-pedal driving". The 2-step paddle breaking (soft and hard braking) is (according to me) an excellent way to manage the braking, essentially fulfilling "one-pedal driving" anyway. Additionally, the car breaks by itself when coming to i.e. roundabouts (navigation-based braking), so "no-pedal driving" in that case. Using the paddles to break also creates very smooth braking, especially when turning.

I like the idea of cameras instead of side view mirrors but only if you can switch off the picture at night. Basically where we live, rural Canada, the drive at night is long and empty roads and I really don't want light reflection from the rear since there is no lane change really. Light pollution is a problem driving at night anyway so anything to reduce the glare is a good idea in my mind. The cameras can be turned on if you need to see out the side view anyway. But if you can't switch them off then I'd be less interested. Driving in an urban area yeah I think it would probably be annoying to have to deal with but on rural roads at night it might actually be a useful feature.

I don’t get the wing mirrors. Why the cameras if you still have bits sticking out. Seems tech for tech’s sake.

This is more beautiful than current Q8, but so many bad design IMO. 1. Side mirror is complete turn off for me 2. No physical climate buttons 3. No physical garage door opener 4. Way too small trunk space

The ‘sporty back’ of the Q8 E-Tron is the exact the as the last model. Like Rory, I’m really confused why they’ve brought the ‘Q8’ name to this car

I love the (relative) simplicity. Modern interiors that look like a computer gamer's dungeon, with a trillion lights and displays, are not great automotive experiences.

A well made comfortable premium car. But the somewhat limited range despite having rather big batteries means it fails spectacularly at power efficiency. And I don't wanna imagine trying to take this one on a longer drive in winter. Also not having at least the option for one pedal driving is stupid. Last but not least those camera "mirrors" are just bad. In short, I agree with Rory's verdict. This car is your choice if you are less interested in efficiency and place more value on having a big premium car. Aka managers - little modesty and more money than common sense.

I was hoping for an elektric Q8. I love the combustion Q8 exterior design, never liked the etron. Why they felt the need to change the design from the Q8 and still call it that, i just get.

I think the infotainment system in the audi is amazing. Super easy to use, looks good and integrated with the design. It is never to much and anybody can use them just looking at them once. Some people prefer the more modern systems like in the mercedes, but I think all that is to much and it is a bit hard to use, at least I felt that when I drove one. Not only that buit it looks like a footballers car that is just a show off car that looks like a disco on the inside. I prefer the super easy to use system on the audi, and it doesnt look like it shows off. We are buying cars, not computers at the end of the day

I know that a youthful guy like you might have been spoiled by current speed numbers, but I remember when the Porsche 911 first got to a 5 second 0-60 time and everyone thought that was too fast. Now you drive a heavy SUV that get’s the same time and you complain it’s too slow. Maybe we are a tad spoiled and allow speed to compensate for poor driving skills?
