A popular automotive YouTuber has taken a look at a number of interesting hidden features found on one of the latest fully electric Audi SUVs.<\/p>\n

Doug DeMuro posts reviews of the latest models and classic cars to his YouTube channel, with over 4.5 million viewers regularly watching to see his take on each model’s \u2018quirks and features\u2019.<\/p>\n

In one of his latest videos, Doug takes a look at the new Audi Q8 E-Tron Sportback, stating that one of its many features can help owners when charging up.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cOne very interesting quirk of the Q8 E-Tron, it offers dual charge ports. You can see one over on the passenger side where you can, of course, plug in and charge, but there\u2019s also one over on the driver side where you can plug in and charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cAudi says this is to ease parking. If you pull up at a charger on one side instead of trying to run the cable over the hood, you can just plug in on the other side and make life easier. I\u2019ve never really seen that before, certainly interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doug added that the Audi Q8 E-Tron Sportback recently received a larger battery, meaning the car is now capable of a range of up to 296 miles per charge.<\/p>\n

Other new features include a sleeker front grille which features a new Audi logo and an LED light bar and the model\u2019s name etched into the B-pillar, between the front and rear doors.<\/p>\n

Inside, Doug also praised the amount of space for rear occupants and in the boot, particularly for a coupe-style SUV.<\/p>\n

Later in the video, Doug showed viewers that the Audi has a hidden wireless phone charger, located between the front seats.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cAlso in the centre, one thing that I like is the wireless charger in this car. It\u2019s not particularly unusual having one, but the way it\u2019s done is cool. It\u2019s vertical, rather than horizontal, which takes up more space.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it has this little strap to keep your phone from moving around. So, it doesn\u2019t really take a lot of space and your phone won\u2019t get jostled around going over a bump and fly off the charging pad, it\u2019ll stay put in its little area here. It\u2019s good thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n
