The 2023 Q8 e-tron lineup is an updated version of the Audi e-tron SUV & Sportback and this shows in its design. The new EVs ditch the traditional Audi grille for a mixture of black plastic and a mesh grille setup with a monochrome 2D effect badge and lights connecting it to the LED headlights.

The front bumper has been tweaked as well and sports larger intakes at its sides. The Audi Q8 e-tron SUV and Sportback ride on 20-inch alloy wheels and sport a blacked-out B-pillar with Audi and Q8 e-tron lettering. The rear bumper too has been tweaked and the addition of the Q8 on the nameplate is the other big change.
