Audi has turned the Audi e-Tron into the Audi Q8 e-Tron, with prices starting at £67,800, rising to £117,000 for the SQ8 e-Tron Fastback.

Last week, Audi revealed the new Audi Q8 e-Tron, a re-badged Audi e-Tron with cosmetic titivations. And now it goes on sale in the UK with prices starting at £67,800 for the Q8 50 e-Tron quattro Sport , rising to £117,000 for the SQ8 e-Tron Fastback Vorsprung – around 10 per cent up on the old e-Tron prices.

Prices for the Black Edition models start at £75,150 for the Q8 50 e-Tron and £885,150 for the Q8 55 e-Tron.

The range-topping Vorsprung trim throws most of Audi’s toys at the Q8 e-Tron including 22″ alloys, Digital Matric lights, virtual door mirrors, power close doors, Adaptive wipers, Super Sports Seats, electric steering column, extended leather, virtual cockpit plus, technology Pack Pro, Tour Pack, City Assist Pack and Parking Assist Pack. Prices for the Vorsprung models start at £89,800 for the Q8 50 e-Tron and £99,800 for the Q8 55 e-Tron.

The SQ8 e-Tron models, which are due later in the year, are only available in Black Edition and Vorsprung trim, with the Black Edition from £97,500 and the Vorsprung from £114,500.
