2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Review: A Luxurious Electric SUV for Business Owners

At Fresh Start Auto Detail, we know our clients in their 30s and 40s—especially business owners and busy families—want vehicles that combine luxury, performance, and eco-friendly vibes. The 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron, a sleek electric SUV, is a perfect match for those who value style and sustainability. Whether you’re driving to client meetings or family outings, this SUV makes a statement. Here’s our take on why the Q8 e-tron deserves a spot in your garage—and a detailing session with us to keep it shining.

Performance and Driving Experience

The 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron delivers a smooth, quiet ride that feels like a luxury SUV, making it a great fit for our clients transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs). With dual electric motors producing 402 horsepower (496 hp in the SQ8 model), it hits 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds (4.2 for SQ8), offering plenty of power for confident driving. The adaptive air suspension ensures a comfortable ride, and all-wheel drive provides grip for any weather. One downside? No one-pedal driving, which could make city commutes less seamless for urban clients.

Range and Charging

Equipped with a 106-kWh battery, the Q8 e-tron offers an EPA-estimated range of 285-300 miles (272-296 for Sportback), ideal for daily drives or weekend trips. Real-world tests suggest around 239 miles, so plan for charging on longer journeys. DC fast-charging at 170 kW takes the battery from 10% to 80% in about 31 minutes, though rivals like the Tesla Model Y charge faster. A home charger (9.6 kW standard, 19.2 kW optional) fully charges in 6.5-13 hours, perfect for overnight setups.

Interior and Practicality

The Q8 e-tron’s interior is a showstopper, with premium leather, wood or carbon fiber trim, and eco-friendly recycled materials. Its dual touchscreens and Virtual Cockpit are perfect for tech-savvy drivers. With 28.5 cubic feet of cargo space (27.2 for Sportback), expanding to 56.4 cubic feet, it’s practical for business gear or family road trips. The flat floor boosts passenger comfort, though the Sportback’s sloping roofline slightly cuts headroom.

Style and Appeal

The Q8 e-tron’s sleek design, with a redesigned grille and LED light bar for 2024, screams sophistication without being flashy. The Sportback’s coupe-like look adds flair, while the standard SUV maximizes utility. It’s perfect for clients who want a professional, modern vibe that turns heads at every stop.
