Which variant to buy

Most buyers should take the RM379,990 advanced 50 quattro. Its 95 kWh battery, 505 km quoted range and 335 hp make it the lower-cost route into the Q8 e-tron Sportback. Pay RM474,990 for the S Line 55 quattro only if 600 km of range, a 114 kWh battery and 402 hp matter enough to justify the RM95,000 increase. Both seat five and list a traditional automatic transmission.

Verdict

The advanced 50 quattro has the clearer case, pairing 505 km of quoted range with 335 hp without stepping into the S Line 55 quattro’s RM95,000 uplift. The 55’s extra battery capacity, range and power are tangible, but it costs more than the Mercedes-Benz EQC and EQE SUV. Charging capability, cabin equipment and driving character remain essential showroom checks.
