Audi Q8 e-tron faces the axe

AutoExec Summary
The Audi Q8 e-tron is facing an uncertain future as Audi considers closing the factory in Brussels due to a sharp drop in orders. Launched in 2018 as Audi’s first battery-electric model, the Q8 e-tron has seen lower sales compared to other Audi electric vehicles. Despite being produced in Belgium, the Q8 e-tron has not performed well in Australia, being outsold by petrol and diesel versions of the Q8. The potential closure of the Brussels factory would impact over 3000 employees and would mark the end of an era, as the factory has produced over 8 million vehicles since 1949. Audi’s decision comes as they plan to introduce more electric SUV models, including the Audi Q2 e-tron in 2027.
