Which one of these three SUVs will you pick, and why? Let us know below and you could win one of the five mystery boxes.
There's a very cool saying that an Audi is a very good distraction..... Being an ultimate fan of those four interlaced rings, my ultimate pick would be the Q8 etron, as I feel that it's power figures are quite impressive and it still continues the OG Audi design language. At least it has not evicted it's genuinity as far as its other German folks are considered. Looks very farsighted with those grille illuminations. Audis are not about trend, they are about innovation and progress.
'vorsprung durch technik'!
@@hrid0005 Haha! Nicely said.
@evoindia ...to start with the BMW iX..looks looks looks, I mean what would Chris bange think of the new grills, to answer the question, better close the eyes..what were they thinking, while extreme is a misnomer, and the beemer has gone beyond anything. while they have done an extremely great job inside. It has the sense of space and comfort but yet the steering I mean it's what thing. Next is the Audieetron q8, it looks futuristic and the outside is great looking, however doesn't have the finesse of the other two( it's subjective). The merc is what takes my pick, it looks great, drives good and interior too is very great looking, tricks all the boxes. Has different modes to choose from and also perfect executive electric SUV. My choice is the Mercedes.
audi anytime superb in looks but nothing can beat bmw in performance and Mercedes in luxury
i will go for bmw
My pick among the 3 SUVs will be the Audi Q8 e-tron for exactly its conventional interiors because I like the old school design theme that doesn't feel digitized to an extent of my disliking and secondly for Audi's Quattro heritage.
The iX design is starting to grow on me especially in darker colours it looks pretty cool...It's design is unapologetic and that is how a BMW should be...
My pick is the Audi Q8 e-Tron, and here's why 😊:
1. It is a perfect daily driver. As Sirish mentioned, it handles Indian roads well, providing a smooth and comfortable driving experience. Also, the practicality with the largest boot space makes it ideal for family use.
2. The Q8 e-tron with a big battery, 600 km of WLTP range and faster charging seems promising, no worries about range anxiety during long drives.
3. I find the styling of the Q8 e-tron to be more appealing than the big kidneys and school wagon-shaped EQE. Also impressive is the red colour with black styling pack, just wow.
4. While I accept the fact that the interior of the Q8 doesn't stand out like the EQE or iX, I prefer the classic and timeless interior of the Q8. It just feels right, unlike the futuristic feel of the EQS, and I'm not a fan of the floating center console in the iX.
Good points there Akshay! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
School wagon shaped EQE 😂😂
My name is George M and I approve this message 😅
The Q8 E-Tron because of it retaining the essence of the Audi design and yet still being an EV, is a very convincing choice
Nicely put, Nikhil.

New Toyota LC 250 Prado going to best option. EV
I would love to pick a Q8 etron as it is the best electric suv and it is also available with a sportback looks it rides well and handling is like icing on the cake I am ok with the functionally rich cabin Q8 etron just feels like home and boot space is a deal breaker in this comparison
Will go with Audi. So that I can re sell it get a much affordable Ev’s and keep the rest cash in my bank account
I shall personally choose the Audi Q8 E-tron, because it doesn't look outlandish and overly-designed as the other two. It has more than enough tech for daily usage and it also offers that comfy and soft ride that you would expect from a crore+ EV. Enthusiastic people would lean towards the BMW, but myself personally would get an EV for daily usage and the last thing I would do is spirited driving. EQE is a close one yes, but considering Indian City roads and streets and EQE's rock-like Ride quality is the main deciding factor. Also I think the EQE is too alien looking and doesn't feel natural. Overall, a well put together test and Kudos to Sirish and Team.
(Ioniq 5 N India release when?🤪🫣)
Fair enough. Pretty valid points those.
The Audi Q8 e-tron is going to be my pick because it has the best ride quality and interior space. Which is the best fit for my requirements. As for performance, it is at par with the Mercedes EQE SUV. Also, the Sportback makes it a good choice. One more reason to buy the Audi e-tron is I would not be noticed much😉when compared to the IX or EQE SUV
The EQE has cup holders in the back the holder has to be pushed twice.
Definately the Q8 E-Tron it still looks like a proper ausi with the blacked out grill and audi stillmake the best looking electric cars like the e tron gt. Meahwhile the merc's grill makes it look like a blob.The interiors while simplistic and not covered in screens like the EQE i feel ike its better as its not distracting from the core elements fo the car
Fair enough Rahul! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
My pick would be the Mercedes Benz EQE as it is a combination of performance and luxury that too at an attractive price
Nice but i would choose Kia ev 6 AWD or if available Tesla model y LR.
Tesla is setting up their India operations. Let's hope they launch soon!
I think they will update some of the MMI layout in the future but everything about it is fantastic. And mine did have wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay
The BMW iX looks really cool.
Oh yes, it does! Especially that self-healing grille is pretty amazing.
I like ICE cars more but if you tell me to choose one of these three, it will be Audi Q8 etron cause it's definitely looks best in my eyes. Design is elegant and will age better in future and the interiors might be a disappointment for some people but I can totally live with it classic audi interiors. Now coming to the powertrain - it's tried and tested reliable. And it does have the best ride and handling balance for indian roads. And I can brag about it cause Carlos Sainz sr won dakar 2024 with Audi RS Q e-tron. And why I choose it over IX and EQE - those cars could be more fun to drive or more techie but if I need performance I'll go and simply buy a sports car or something and as I said earlier I don't like evs that much so q8 feels more close to ICEs between theses three.
SQ8 etron is now out abs the performance and handling far exceeds the pill shaped EQE
I will choose the Mercedes-Benz eqe becoz of torque the thrill to drive it matching the diesel feel to its max and the hyperscreen the awe inspiration of nowardays , resale value and 10yrs warranty on battery the most imp component of the car 🔥🔥😍😍
Mercedes has bad resale value and mercedes is no longer the most selling luxury car brand in india but has taken over the spot ones again proofed mercedes can be be beaten by bmw
I'd still wait 5 more years till charging infra improves. Until then X6 M maybe😉
Understandable, but let's hope it develops quicker! 🤞
My pick is Bmw Xi for power and godd looking but the interior of Mercedes looks very good all the car's are good in this Segment but Bmw is also getting well look and Battery life which help people to travel more. Ev's are the future of India and Environmental friendly which help for 0% of Pollution and and less noise of the vehicle Let's wish Ev's to make the Future good and Grow charging station more❤
BMW I7 enters the chat
👍
Thank you Ravi!
My pic would be EQb Mercedes as it’s the beauty and the beast
From this review I would definitely pick q8-etron.
Reasons being it ticks the most boxes and especially ride quality.
Irrespective of segments considering our roads good ride quality is the top priority with good performance and dynamics.
Here q8 - etron got it all right with excellent range.
Looks are never top of my lists, but the car should look good if not the best, both bmw and merc looks very average to be honest.
Bmw because affordable good looking comfortable cheaper in price the saving I will buy Kia electric for the family and every day use which make more sense because we as costmer looking after saving and not the best
Merc, simply because it's Merc.
The Audi e-tron (My choice) offers a balanced package with good range, a comfortable interior, and decent handling, pricing but falls slightly behind in both efficiency, and sportiness compared to the other two.
I honestly think the Q8 etron has the better range, and it's not even close.
I love Audi q8 because it’s interior looks premium exterior and colour looks sporty car ❤
Hey, if you could have the Q8, e-tron, which colour would it be?
I want real leather.
Okay to be short and crisp I would get a BMW ix any day due to its lush interior and it also looks compromising. It's got a good road presence that makes neck turns on the roads. Having a range of 523 km. It's really worth every penny. The design indeed looks futuristic compared to the audio and the Mercy. The features like self-healing grille outplay the game. From a BMW fanatic.Hope to win the mystery box.🤞
The Q8 E-Tron because it retains the Audi essence while also being futuristic. The design language and it being just like any other Audi but electric which is still impressive! The interior design is quite promising too! Performance wise, I'd pick the EQE but as an overall package, the E-tron seems well rounded...
I like the conventional Audi interior, so its more of a personal preference because it's not all things flashy although a few quirks would've been appreciated.
Well put, Nikhil!
For me mercedes EQE sure❤
Though, do share why you'd pick it.
@@evoIndia simply it is a mercedes my dear
giveaway results??
Even the Volvo XC40 and C40 recharge have 404hp
Yes, but the C40 Recharge sits in a lower segment as compared to these.
Audi Q8 e-tron 🤩
Do let us know why you'd pick it.
1) E-tron (my pick) delivers the goods with practical and close to best in class in most areas too. It delivers a likeable experience both behind the wheels or the rear seat. But it misses out on melodrama though.
2) EQE with the best range and performance is ideal for long distance travel, but uncharacteristically behind the curve on one big fundamental i.e. back seat comfort and steep price.
3) iX will be a deal breaker if you do out station duties due to limited range. But it makes clever use of space and great ride quality.
I would pick the BMW iX. Why? In rememberance of both my kidneys and then be driven to my cemetery. XD
Hahaha! Good one!
Audi Q8 e-tron for me!!
Do let us know why you prefer the Q8.
