What is the status of the Audi e-tron in 2026 for Canada — is it still in production?
The Audi e-tron (rebranded as the Q8 e-tron since 2023) remains in the Canadian catalogue for 2026 under the Q8 e-tron and Q8 Sportback e-tron designations. The e-tron name is being phased out in official Audi nomenclature, but both labels coexist at Canadian dealerships. For 2026, the Q8 e-tron receives an over-the-air software update improving recuperation efficiency by approximately 8% in B mode (maximum regenerative braking). The estimated range is 487 km (EPA cycle) for the 55 quattro and 418 km for the 50 quattro. Maximum DC fast-charging speed remains 170 kW. Canadian MSRP starts at approximately $89,000 for the Q8 50 e-tron Progressiv.
