2024 Audi Q8 Facelift Revealed Globally; India Launch Likely by Year-end

The all-new Audi Q8 SUV with expressive design has finally been revealed globally. The new Audi Q8 creates an impression of being in motion thanks to its uncluttered design, abundant surfaces, and unmistakable volume. The vehicle's athletic and graceful proportions are enhanced by its low overhangs and long wheelbase, which may be further emphasised via the selection of unique exterior colours and wheels. The Audi Q8 SUV continues to use an internal combustion engine, as seen by the significant modifications made to the vehicle's front end. The 2024 Audi Q8 has octagonal components added to the single-frame grille. Even on the standard Q8 facelift, the air intakes have grown bigger, giving the coupe SUV a more assertive appearance and adding to its sportiness. Gloss black was used for the grille surrounds to further emphasise the model's streamlined and athletic appearance.

2024 Audi Q8 SUV: Design

The 2024 Q8's exterior has undergone slight tweaks, but they together provide the crossover with a sleeker, more appealing front end. The current iteration of the grille has a reduced level of angularity compared to its predecessor, resulting in a more streamlined appearance as it seamlessly merges with the headlights. This design approach bears a resemblance to the melding of the grille and lights seen in the Q8 e-tron model. The air intakes in the front bumper have been increased in size, and a new exhaust arrangement is standard.
