Audi Australia has updated its Q8 e-tron electric SUV range, introducing a new price structure.

The entry-level price for the 2024 Audi Q8 50 e-tron quattro is set at $140,600 before on-road costs, reflecting a reduction of over $14,000 from the previous model.

The 2024 iteration marks a shift from the Q8 55 e-tron quattro to the 50 e-tron quattro, with adjustments in both power output and battery capacity.

The 50 variant outputs 250kW and 664Nm from its dual-motor system, a decrease from the 300kW offered by the 55 model.

It is equipped with a 95kWh battery, smaller than the 114kWh unit in the earlier version, which supports a WLTP combined range of 411 kilometers.

The vehicle is equipped with standard features such as adaptive air suspension and a luxury interior that includes Audi's Virtual Cockpit and a 10.1-inch infotainment system.

The revised lineup also retains more powerful models, with the Sportback 55 e-tron quattro priced at $166,600, and the tri-motor SQ8 e-tron models starting at $173,600 for the wagon and $180,600 for the Sportback variant.

These models offer increased power and range.

With these changes, Audi adjusts its Q8 e-tron series to offer different price points and specifications, catering to varying customer needs in the electric SUV market.
