Audi Abu Dhabi announced today that pre-orders for the highly anticipated Q8 e-tron, the latest addition to Audi's luxury electric vehicle (EV) lineup, are now open. Starting at AED 410,000, the Audi Q8 e-tron represents the electrified version of Audi's revered Q8. It combines advanced technology, impressive performance, and enhanced charging capabilities.
Mark Austin, General Manager of Audi Abu Dhabi, emphasised the brand's focus on delivering exceptional performance and sustainability, stating, “The e-tron line-up represents a harmonious fusion of both aspects. It’s not one or the other. It’s both. With the Q8 e-tron, Audi now offers a larger battery capacity and higher charging capabilities, providing an attractive option for drivers who may have been hesitant to embrace electric vehicles previously. The Audi Q8 55 e-tron quattro can now cover up to 582 kilometres on a single battery charge.”
The Audi Q8 e-tron generates 664Nm of torque and achieves speeds of up to 200km/h with its enhanced aerodynamics and fully electric quattro all-wheel drive system. Additionally, it offers faster charging capabilities both at home and on the road, boasting a maximum charging capacity of up to 170 kW.

For more than 20 years, the Cayenne has been characterised by its ability to provide the broad range of qualities between characteristic Porsche driving performance, excellent comfort in everyday driving, and great capability when driving off-road. The future models of the SUV will seamlessly continue this success story, retaining all of the car’s familiar features.
“The Cayenne has always defined the sports car in its segment. In the middle of the decade, the fourth generation will set standards in the segment as an electric SUV,” said Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. At the same time, into the next decade our customers will still be able to choose from a wide range of powerful and efficient combustion and hybrid models.
"The third generation of the Cayenne will be further upgraded and will continue to be offered alongside the fourth, all-electric generation".
The current Cayenne generation, which last year was given one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche, will be further developed with major technological investment in the future. Here the developers will be focusing, among other things, on the powertrains, in particular on improving the efficiency of the V8 developed by Porsche and built at the Zuffenhausen engine plant. Extensive technical measures will ensure that the twin-turbo engine is ready to comply with future legislative requirements.
In a bold move against the prevailing headwinds in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, VinFast, the young Vietnamese EV manufacturer, is forging ahead with its ambitious global expansion plans. While major players like Apple have recently abandoned their decade-long pursuit of an electric vehicle, and others are scaling back their ambitions, VinFast remains undeterred. Having already established a presence in the U.S., Canada, and Southeast Asia, the company is now setting its sights on the Middle Eastern market.
Hyundai is set to debut its three-row electric SUV later this year, a move that signifies the automaker's bold step into the large electric vehicle (EV) market. This new SUV, anticipated to be named the Ioniq 9, is poised to be Hyundai’s equivalent to the Kia EV9, offering a spacious and eco-friendly alternative to its popular Palisade.
