Who cares Chumps buy EVs, we don't need them let alone want them. Listen. Man made climate change is a hoax. CO2 has NO EFFECT on temperature. ITS THE OTHER WAY ROUND temp drives CO2, a well known climate FACT for decades. That right there knocks the whole climate debate on the head and there's plenty more where that came from. Key players were coerced to lie. There's good things about hybrids alright but we DON'T HAVE TO USE IT. Tesla just laid off 10% of its workforce (Reuters.

Autocar reviewers are becoming more and more predictable. the Audi at least has Audi DNA put a Korean badge on the Lotus and it would sit in exactly the same space. The interior borrows the whacky and tries to meld it with the traditional at least the little you showed us and for me it looked no better than a mid band Kia. I'd take the Audi as it will age better. The Lotus will look dated inside a year, in fact it does now.

I also don’t get hung up on the Lotus badge. Sat in one and it’s a lovely place to be. My issue is the efficiency. Replicated in several tests and isn’t great. Needs to be better.
This particular Audi is boring. Predictable. Sat in ICE Q8 but facelift and felt it was really old. Design language inside is old hat. At the price point it felt cheap in places.
So I would also choose the Lotus.

Look at the numbers against the ubiquitous Model Y Long Range. These cars are no quicker, much less efficient, lower range, bigger battery and twice the price. They're going to fail hard if this is the best they can do.
And yes, I know the Model Y is hideous and the interior isn't as nice, but people are buying it in droves anyway.

Well the best ESUV in this category for me hands down the Macan. From this 2. none. The Audi is boring and on its last production cycle - the Eletre is different and the interior looks great on pictures, but it's sooooo heavy and inefficient. The antithesis of what Lotus always stood for until now.

if you can spend 100k on a petrol sq8, I don't see why you can't spend 100k on an electric sq8, and alike. And the petrol doesn't even have the cost of a battery to justify the price
