The Audi E-Tron was one of the first offerings in the large electric luxury SUV market, but now that Audi's stable of E-Tron electric cars is growing wider, the flagship has been given a new name to reflect its position at the top of the range, so it's now called the Q8 E-Tron.

As well as the new moniker, the Q8 E-Tron has plenty of other new stuff besides. The 2023 car also looks a little different, has more tech, and all importantly for many electric car buyers, the range has been extended as well. The Sportback 55 E-Tron featured in this video can now (theoretically at least, according to official WLTP figures) do 373 miles between charges. All that, and 402bhp as well.

In this CarGurus UK video, Vicky Parrott finds out what effect the changes have had on the car by assessing its practicality, quality, technology, affordability, and what it's like to drive.

Pros
Refined and roomy
Superb build quality more than lives up to the price
Class-leading infotainment system

Cons
Not as enjoyable to drive as the Jaguar I-Pace
Tesla Model X has a longer range
More expensive than a Merc EQC

The CarGurus verdict
The Audi E-Tron is a seriously compelling car that feels every bit the expensive, plush SUV that you’d expect given a price starting at more than £60,000. It has the sort of cabin finish that would feel appropriate in a car costing even more than the E-Tron, as well as one of the best infotainment systems on the market; that general over-indulgence, teamed with the E-Tron’s refinement and roominess are the key reasons you go for the big plug-in Audi. However, for all its charms, the E-Tron isn’t anywhere near as fun as the Jaguar I-Pace, is a touch more expensive than the Mercedes EQC and isn’t as practical or as long-range as the Tesla Model X. Yes, it’s a sumptuous and classy car that oozes desirability, but in many ways the competition is even better.
