The high-quality build and noise insulation provide comfort against wind noise and road irregularities prevalent in New Zealand’s open road driving.
Overall, the Audi Q8 e-tron 4WD balances performance, practicality, and environmental responsibility—making it an attractive option for those looking to adopt electric mobility without compromising on versatility in New Zealand’s unique driving conditions.
