Audi Q8 Overview
For years now, the Audi Q7 has reigned supreme in the full-size luxury SUV segment. As the brand’s flagship model, the Q7 became the default choice for many buyers for its seamless blend of performance matched with opulence. Now, to carry forward the burden of the company’s flagship offering, the Q8 is here and it seems to be the right product to take the game forward.
Now, unlike the Q7, the brand’s new flagship goes against its conventional styling route, for this is a coupe-SUV in every respect. Moreover, the Audi Q8 price puts it up against several other coupe-SUVs in the segment, considering the Q8 is a CBU unit. What remains to be seen, then, can it deliver the same success as the company’s erstwhile flagship offering?
Audi Q8 Exterior
Unlike other coupe-SUVs, Audi took a different approach with Q8’s styling. Starting with the front, the face is filled by the company’s massive, octagonal ‘single-frame’ grille, which sits flush and goes well with the overall design. The headlamps are sharp and angular, and for those wondering, these are Audi’s Matrix LED units with a new DRL design. The large air dams add a layer of sportiness to the front too.
Viewed from the side, Audi’s take on the coupe structure is quite different, as it is a slightly tapered roof that vanishes into the chunky C-pillar, rather than sloping all the way from the B-pillar. The optional 21-inch wheels look sharp and nice, while you can also opt for 22-inch wheels. The rear end of the Audi Q8 new model is as beautiful as a coupe-SUV can get. The main highlight here is the new LED taillamps which are joined by a strip of LED and a gloss black insert.
Audi Q8 Variants
The Audi Q8 variants, namely, are 55 TFSI Quattro. With a number of customisation options and colours, Audi says that it’s highly unlikely for two Q8 to be the same. What you do get as standard are 19-inch alloy wheels, Matrix LED headlamps with DRLs and LED taillamps on the outside.
On the inside, the standard equipment includes a massive panoramic sunroof, Windshield with heat-insulating glass, Electric sunshades for the rear side windows, manual sunshade for the rear window, Electrically-operated front seats with memory function for the driver’s seat, leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, Audi Virtual Cockpit display, Exterior mirrors, power-adjustable, heated and folding, auto-dimming on both sides, with memory feature, dual-zone climate control, MMI navigation plus with MMI touch response, Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System with 3D sound, adaptive air suspension, and much more.
Audi Q8 Interior
As you would expect from a car that bears those four rings, the quality of the interior and seats is simply commendable. The layout of the dashboard, however, is quite similar to the A6. Now, that isn’t particularly a bad thing, but it does rob away from the car’s novelty value. The steering feels nice to hold, and you can also opt for a flat-bottom unit when customising the Q8. Speaking about customization, the Q8 features dual-zone climate control as standard, while a four-zone climate control unit is optional.
The climate control system, in itself, is a touchscreen unit, which even with the haptic feedback, requires the driver to take his/her eyes off the road. The touchscreen above that is the company’s MMI navigation plus unit, which is intuitive and bears all the necessary gizmos. The Audi Virtual Cockpit Display, as always, is informative and extremely customisable.
Audi Q8 Engine Specifications & Performance
With the company’s commitment to shift to a petrol-only line-up, the Q8 only features a single powertrain. The engine in question here is a 3.0-litre V6 petrol, which is good for 335bhp and 500Nm of torque. It comes paired to the ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox, which is the leading automatic gearbox in the industry.
