About the Audi Q8

Bold, dynamic, and tech-savvy - the Audi Q8 is the stylish crossover that combines functionality with premium luxury. Featuring a striking coupe-like exterior appearance combined with the functionality of an SUV - the Q8 sports a wide, upright grille design blended seamlessly into a swept-back roofline. From behind, onlookers will notice a clever strip of lights that extends across the width of the rear end. Other design enhancements include available 21-inch alloy wheels and a variety of expressive exterior color choices. Potent turbocharged engine power and standard quattro all-wheel drive help the Q8 excel both on dry pavement and across slippery road surfaces. Emphasizing the front and rear wheels equally, this design also hints at the impressive handling capabilities offered on the Audi Q8. A luxurious interior and groundbreaking technology innovations elevate the Q8 above its competition.

What the Critics Say

"The Q8 is Audi's range-topping SUV, with a modern turbocharged V-6 and a tech-heavy features roster highlighted by an interior with a two-touchscreen center stack and design that would make Rudolph Schindler blush. Deleting the third row opens some space for the second-row passengers and delivers a driving experience that is more carlike than any Audi SUV before." -- Car and Driver

"Structurally, the Q8 feels bank-vault solid and is nearly as quiet inside as one. Standard adaptive shocks read the road, firming up when needed for swells and sweepers and backing off to take the edge off harsh impacts and poor road surfaces." -- J.D. Power

Performance

In fact, the Q8 is able to rocket from 0-60 in a blistering 5.6 seconds, an impressive feat for a five-seat SUV. When properly equipped, the Q8 has a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds. Available all-wheel steering helps the Audi Q8 maneuver in tight spaces with up to 5° of counter-steer in slow-speed situations and stability at high speeds. Choose the optional adaptive air suspension to enjoy 50mm of increased ground clearance or lower the ride height at the touch of a button. Standard Audi drive select lets you custom-configure your drive experience to suit your preferences.

Audi Q8 Interior

Luxurious Interior

Each facet of the interior of the Audi Q8 was meticulously constructed with progressive elegance in mind. You'll notice the horizontal character of the instrument panel as it descends in steps gradually towards the floor of the cabin for a flowing layout. Front sport seats along with spacious rear seating feature side bolsters to the head restraints for the ultimate support and comfort. Commands and information requests are effortlessly processed via touch displays augmented by the Audi virtual cockpit featuring a high-resolution 12.3-inch display.
