Audi Q8

The Audi Q8 is a sophisticated SUV, demanding to be seen. The updated signature Singleframe® grille bookended by Matrix-design LED headlights announces its presence. Further customize the exterior lighting by selecting four available signatures for the OLED taillights. Choose from nine paint options that include unique shades like Sahkir Gold, Waitomo Blue, and Satellite Silver. Its striking exterior is further enhanced by 21- or 22-inch wheels with a diamond-turned finish.

The Q8’s two trims—Progressiv and Technik—provide a full complement of amenities, including:

• Panoramic sunroof with electric sunshade
• 3-zone automatic climate control
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated rear seats
• Heated steering wheel
• LED interior lighting package

Standard leather seats in a range of colours and inlays in your choice of Grey Oak or Fine Grain Ash Natural Silver allow you to personalize the cabin. Available individual contour front seats in Valcona and Cricket leather with massage function will make sure you and your copilot remain comfortable.

The Q8’s standard 40/20/40 folding second row helps adjust to your changing passenger-to-cargo ratio. With up to 1,719 litres (60.7 cubic feet) of storage space, you’ll have enough room for up to eight carry-ons. Its power tailgate allows easy access to the cargo hold even when your arms are full, and its available adaptive air suspension makes loading/unloading your road trip essentials easier by lowering the rear of the Audi Q8.

When it comes to its powertrain, the Audi Q8 has a single engine: the 3.0L turbocharged V6. Still, with this engine, one is all you need. The 55 TFSI with quattro® all-wheel drive yields 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an 8-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission.

Beyond handling every weekday commute, business trip, and weekend getaway with ease, the Audi Q8 can be put to work, albeit stylishly. Hitch up a trailer to assist with moving, transport large purchases, or take along some recreational toys on your next adventure. The Q8’s towing capacity of 3,492 kilograms (7,700 pounds) when properly equipped makes it all possible.

Having power is one thing, being able to handle it is equally important. The Audi Q8’s standard quattro® all-wheel drive means you’ll have optimal control regardless of road or weather conditions. To fine-tune the Q8’s performance based on your preferences or the situations you encounter, use standard Audi drive select with these modes:

• Comfort
• Auto
• Dynamic
• Offroad
• Allroad

Adding to a smooth and agile ride in the Audi Q8 is available 4-wheel steering. This system offers enhanced handling at lower speeds and provides greater stability at higher speeds.

Dual screens and a range of standard features help you stay connected, informed, and entertained for every mile. Its customizable Virtual cockpit plus with 12.3-inch display shows key driving information digitally. Bluetooth® with audio streaming and wireless Apple CarPlay® enable you to access your apps, maps, and messages while keeping the cabin clutter-free.

Enjoy a fully immersive audio experience when you upgrade to the available Bang & Olufsen® Advanced sound system with 3D sound. Its 1,920 watts and 23 speakers instantly turn the Audi Q8 into your personal concert hall.

When it comes to technology, the most critical features are those that help protect you and your passengers. The Audi Q8 comes well-equipped with a wide variety of safety systems that will help ensure your security on the road, including:

• Audi pre sense® front and rear
• Top view with 360-degree camera and parking sensors
• Adaptive cruise assist with Traffic Jam assist
• Audi active lane departure warning
• Rear cross traffic alert

For next-level protection, the Q8 offers available add-ons. Increase visibility after dark with the optional Night vision assistant that uses thermal imaging to detect pedestrians and animals within your path.
