Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi e-tron offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Audi Q8, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Audi e-tron and the Audi Q8.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Audi e-tron will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Audi Q8.

Dimensions
Since the Audi e-tron is much slimmer than the Audi Q8, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Audi e-tron takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Audi Q8.

Handling
The Audi e-tron has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Audi Q8, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Audi e-tron has a little more horsepower than the Audi Q8.

Powertrain
The Audi e-tron has much lower torque than the Audi Q8, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi e-tron and the Audi Q8. The Audi e-tron has less cargo space than the Audi Q8, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
