When it comes to the world of luxury EVs, today, there are quite a few options that are vying for your money.

- MANAV SINHA: AUDI Q8 E-TRON

We've been fortunate enough to have some of the most premium EVs in India be part of our long term test fleet and over the past month, we got to spend time with the Audi Q8 e-tron.

What landed up in our garage is the non-coupe version of the Q8 e-tron in the larger battery-equipped and the faster '55' variant. This brings with it a massive 114kWh battery that's connected to 408bhp motor that can propel this luxe-barge from a standstill to 100km/h in just 5.6 seconds. While the specs may make you believe that this is the typical, explosive and heavy EV - the reality couldn't be more different.
