Audi e-tron: The Brand's First Electric SUV
The e-tron was Audi's first mass-production electric vehicle, a premium electric SUV that launched the brand into the EV era.
Launched in 2019, the e-tron (later renamed Q8 e-tron) was Audi's first dedicated electric SUV and a major step in the brand's electrification. A midsize luxury crossover, it emphasized refinement, build quality, and everyday usability over outright range or performance figures.
It offered dual-motor quattro all-wheel drive, a quiet and luxurious cabin, and innovative options like virtual exterior mirrors with camera displays. A sleeker e-tron Sportback variant was also offered.
The e-tron proved Audi could deliver a polished, premium electric SUV, laying the groundwork for the brand's expanding electric lineup.
