Audi India will be launching the Q8 e-tron SUV on August 18. It’s basically the facelifted e-tron SUV with a new name, a minor styling refresh and, most importantly, updated powertrains. We have got our hands on the upcoming electric SUV’s colour options ahead of its introduction. So if you’re a potential customer for Audi’s luxury EV, this one is mainly for you.
Audi will introduce four new hues to the Q8 e-tron’s colour palette. And there are also two paint schemes that get a contrasting black finish to the lower half such as the wheel arches, that make it look a tad more rugged. We have compiled all the colour options of the Q8 e-tron in an easy-to-consume table:

The Q8 e-tron will continue to be offered either as an SUV or a Sportback (SUV Coupe). It will continue to come in two broad trims: 50 and 55. Both models get an enhanced battery pack, allowing it to travel further before needing a recharge. Here are all its technical specifications in this easy-to-consume table:

The Audi Q8 e-tron has started arriving at dealerships and you can take a look at it in the flesh here. We suspect the Audi Q8 e-tron will command a notable premium over the outgoing model that was priced from Rs 1.02 crore (ex-showroom). It will renew its rivalry with the Mercedes-Benz EQC and BMW iX.
