Verdict
Grand SUV électrique (ex-e-tron rebaptisé en 2023), au coffre de 569 litres à l'arrière. Euro NCAP n'a pas testé cette version restylée (Carbuyer). Un rappel de conduites de frein serrées, qui peut provoquer une fuite de liquide de freinage, vise les exemplaires fabriqués du 3 mai 2023 au 15 mars 2024 : exigez la preuve du contrôle. Les retours publiés sont peu nombreux.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Recalls published in France (RappelConso)
- 12 June 2025 — Le serrage excessif des connexions des vis sur les tuyaux de frein peut conduire les vis à se casser et le liquide de frein à commencer à fuir. Cela peut entraîner la défaillance d'un circuit de freinage, ce qui réduit les performances de freinage et compromet la stabilité de conduite. Cela augmente le risque d'accidents et de blessures. Official notice
- 20 September 2024 — En raison d'un problème de connexion à la vis, la tige de poussée reliant la pédale de frein et l'amplificateur de frein peut se déconnecter, provoquant un dysfonctionnement du frein au pied. Cela peut entraîner la perte de contrôle du véhicule, ce qui augmente le risque d'accidents et de blessures. Official notice

Inspection checklist
Audi Q8 e-tron I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série, chez Audi, le rappel 47DE des conduites de frein (production du 3 mai 2023 au 15 mars 2024).
- Demander un diagnostic de l'état de santé de la batterie (supérieur à 95 % sur un véhicule récent selon le guide d'achat) et l'historique des recharges rapides.
- Vérifier que les mises à jour logicielles ont été faites et que le MMI tactile fonctionne sans bug.
- Contrôler l'usure des pneus : le poids de plus de 2,5 tonnes les use plus vite.
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien suivi en réseau Audi.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le rappel des conduites de frein a-t-il été effectué ? Avez-vous l'attestation ?
- Quel est l'état de santé de la batterie et quelle part des recharges s'est faite en rapide ?
- Les pneus ont-ils été changés, et à quel kilométrage ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
