Note In November 2022, the Audi e-tron was officially named the new Audi Q8 i-ton (a major mid-life facelift for the 2023 model year) co-inciding with a large facial lift.
The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) Audi Q8 was part of a November 2025 recall, including the Audi Q7 PHEV, which saw 33 vehicles recalled for defective high-voltage battery packs that could catch fire.
Production of the battery-electric Q8 e-tron ended in February 2025 when the Belgian plant it was made in was closed after producing vehicles for brands including Citroen, Studebaker and Packard dating back to 1926.
It had been producing Audi vehicles since 2010, but was closed after Volkswagen Group – which owns Audi – began a cost-reduction drive including a plan to cut 50,000 jobs by 2030.
Concerned owners can contact Audi Australia on 1800 502 834 or via email at [email protected].
