Battery Capacity: 95 kWh (50) / 114 kWh (55)
The Q8 e-tron offers two massive battery options. The "50 Quattro" uses a 95 kWh pack, while the "55 Quattro" features a 114 kWh unit (106 kWh usable). Audi has updated the battery management system and cell chemistry for 2026, allowing for a more efficient discharge and better performance in the varying climates across the Indian subcontinent.
Max Power: 335 bhp (50) / 402 bhp (55)
The dual-motor setup provides significant punch. In "Boost Mode," the 55 Quattro variant delivers a peak of 402.3 bhp (300 kW). This power is distributed instantly to all four wheels, ensuring the SUV feels remarkably light on its feet despite its substantial 2.5-tonne weight.
Max Torque: 664 Nm (Combined)
Both the 50 and 55 variants deliver a staggering 664 Nm of peak torque. Because this is an EV, the torque is available from 0 RPM, allowing the Q8 e-tron to execute overtakes on highways with a level of silence and immediacy that traditional V8 SUVs cannot match.
0-100 km/h: 5.6 Seconds (55 Quattro)
In its most powerful 55 Quattro trim, the Q8 e-tron sprints to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds. The base 50 Quattro is still quite quick, completing the same sprint in 6.0 seconds. Both versions are electronically limited to a top speed of 200 km/h to preserve battery range.
