Overview
The Audi Q8 e-tron is a five-seat executive electric SUV in its first generation, launched in 2023. It suits buyers who want a large Audi EV with quattro traction and up to 582 km of range rather than a lower-priced entry EV. In Malaysia, the Q8 e-tron starts from RM360,790.
Q8 e-tron in 2026 — what's new
The Q8 e-tron carries on into 2026 without a Malaysia-specific update. The current SUV range is advanced 50 Quattro and advanced 55 Quattro; the Sportback is a separate body style, while the SQ8 e-tron is a different, higher-performance model. The main recent change around the nameplate is not an upgrade: Audi has moved to discontinue the Q8 e-tron amid slow sales, linked to its Belgium plant.

Which variant to buy
Pick the advanced 50 Quattro at RM360,790 if 491 km of range and 335 hp are enough. The advanced 55 Quattro costs RM466,790, so the RM106,000 gap buys a 114 kWh battery instead of 95 kWh, 582 km range instead of 491 km, and 402 hp instead of 335 hp. Pay more only if the extra 91 km range matters to your driving.

Verdict
The Q8 e-tron is not the low-price route into an electric SUV. It starts above the Mercedes-Benz EQB from RM338,888, though below the Kia EV9 from RM368,668 and the Q8 e-tron Sportback from RM379,990. The 55 has the stronger range and output figures, but the planned discontinuation of the Q8 e-tron makes it a buy-with-eyes-open premium EV choice.
