The Audi Q8 e-tron made its global debut last week. Now, the carmaker has confirmed that the electric SUV will be launched in India soon.

The Q8 e-tron replaces the e-tron and e-tron Sportback in Audi’s EV line-up. It is offered in three trims: e-tron 50, e-tron 55 and e-tron S and comes in both SUV and Sportback body styles.

The design of the new Q8 e-tron range is similar to the outgoing model. It does get a few cosmetic tweaks to the front fascia, including a redesigned grille and air dam. The rear continues to feature a set of wraparound LED tail lights with a light bar in between.

The Q8 e-tron is available in dual-motor and triple-motor versions. The e-tron 50 and e-tron 55 variants pack 334 BHP / 664 Nm and 402 BHP / 664 Nm, respectively. The base variant comes with an 89 kWh battery pack offering a range of 509 km, while the e-tron 55 variant gets a 106 kWh battery that can cover up to 600 km on a single charge.

The top-spec e-tron S uses three electric motors with a combined output of 496 BHP and 973 Nm. It is powered by a 106 kWh battery offering 513 km of range.
