Audi brings back Q8 e-tron: the car may get American registration
Audi may bring back the Q8 e-tron or its successor into production.
Audi may bring back the Q8 e-tron or its successor into production. Following the closure of the factory in Brussels, the German brand is exploring the possibility of moving assembly to the United States. Options include the under-construction Scout Motors plant in South Carolina or the Volkswagen site in Chattanooga, where the ID.4 is already being produced.
The reason is moderate sales and outdated model architecture. The Q8 e-tron was built on a platform adapted from combustion engines. New Audi models, including the Q6 e-tron and Q4 e-tron, already use more flexible electric platforms.
Despite the closure, almost 8000 units of the Q8 e-tron were sold in the US over the year — more than the A7 and A8.
If plans come to fruition, the updated Q8 e-tron might once again be among the promising cars of 2025, especially in the electric SUV segment for the American market.
