Audi e-tron I (GE) gallery (2018–present)
The original Audi e-tron (GE) was Audi's pioneer mass-production electric SUV, later rebranded as the Q8 e-tron.
Unveiled in late 2018 in San Francisco, the Audi e-tron (chassis code GE) held historic significance as Audi's first mass-produced fully electric vehicle. Engineered upon a modified MLB Evo platform, the full-size crossover preserved traditional Audi luxury aesthetics while pioneering virtual side cameras in place of side mirrors, outputting onto door-mounted OLED screens.
Equipped with dual electric motors for instantaneous e-quattro all-wheel drive, adaptive air suspension, and a 95 kWh battery, the GE set high standards for refinement. In late 2022, Audi refreshed the model and renamed it the Audi Q8 e-tron, upgrading battery capacity up to 114 kWh for an extended range of up to 600 km. The model fully reflected the premium status of the automaker and its commitment to technological leadership in its class.
