The vehicle that you see here in the images is the facelifted version of the Audi Q8 e-tron, the German automaker's first electric SUV. Up front, it gets a redesigned grill with a new mesh and the brand's new monochrome logo. Further, the surrounds of the grille have been blacked out and now extend beneath the headlights.
