Inspired by Audi’s electrified assault on the Dakar Rally, we took the all-electric Audi Q8 e-tron on an epic coast-to-coast trip across the UK
Accompanied by the low futuristic hum of the Audi Q8 e-tron’s all-electric ‘engine note’, we lower the electric windows to take in the ocean air – marvelling at the uninterrupted sound of lapping water and the distant chirps of winged early risers. The Audi Q8 e-tron simply takes refinement to another level. It’s one thing running on close-to-silent all-electric power, and quite another to create a cabin like this. You really could hear a pin drop.
You can even use intuitive voice control to ask the Audi Q8 e-tron to change the track, increase the volume, warm you up, cool you down, or even read out your texts . Equally – analogue users rejoice – physical gloss-black buttons and a duo of click wheels below your thumbs on the steering wheel make controlling the infotainment system feel effortlessly easy and safe.
In the heart of the city, visibility is everything and that’s why the virtual door mirrors that come as standard on our Vorsprung spec are as easy and practical to use as they are sleek and showstopping to admire. From the A-roads and the motorway to here in the heart of the urban bustle, you learn how effective they are in a wealth of different driving environments.
From Hotwell Road, we marvel at the majesty of the Clifton Bridge from below. But we want to get some height and see the bridge from above. A quick glance at the glowing green outlines around the virtual door mirrors’ monitors confirms that it’s safe to pull off at Granbury Hill, where we use the Audi Q8 e-tron’s all-electric oomph to effortlessly take us to the top of the hill.
A long walk builds up an appetite and as the clouds move in once again and the faint mist turns to a cinematic rainstorm, we rush back to the cossetting cocoon of the. As soon as it comes into view, we open the electric tailgate remotely. Muddy boots bagged and, in the boot, we set the climate control to its maximum heat, drying us almost faster than we can complain about the Great British weather. Route point set, we get back on the road.
