Like any plug-in hybrid, the Audi Q8 TFSI e quattro brings together the strengths from two worlds. Its combustion engine, the 3.0 TFSI, produces 250 kW (340 hp) and 450 Nm of torque. The V6 meets the latest Euro 6 AP emissions standard. A permanently excited synchronous machine (PSM) with 100 kW peak output serves as the electric motor. The compact electric motor is integrated in the housing of the eight-speed tiptronic. There, together with the clutch that connects the 3.0 TFSI to the powertrain, it forms the so-called hybrid module. The lithium-ion battery is located under the luggage compartment floor. It contains 104 prismatic cells of the latest generation, grouped into 13 modules. Each of these cells with a flexible outer skin has a current capacity of 48 Ah, and the battery system has an energy content of 17.9 kWh. That is 0.7 kWh more than the battery with which the Q7 TFSI e quattro went on sale in 2019. Now the Q7 also gets the latest-generation battery with increased capacity, which is also more compact and almost 70 kilograms lighter.
