-
Distinctive, not loud
- The Q8 looks large and imposing in the flesh
- Lines are simple, aggressive and attractive
- Attention grabbing but not shouty design
- 21-inch wheels, soft close doors and selective DRL signatures are the standouts
- Not very distinctive looking from the rest of the Audi SUV lineup. Could have had a few more external highlights like flush mounted door handles since it's the flagship model
-
What's The Audi Q8 Like Inside?
- The Interiors are classy and solidly built
- Premium materials and great attention to detail
- Comfortable seats and lots of space in both rows
- Lack of wow features like ventilated seats that we are accustomed to even in non-luxury cars
- Very plasticky paddle shifters
-
So much space
- Loads of space even in the rear seat
- 605-litre boot is also massive and has a powered tailgate
- Seats fold flat and free up over 1700-litres of space
- Powered front seats with memory function
- Rear seats fold down in three parts
- Electronic sunshades
- No boss seat function
- Seat Comfort and features not the most luxurious in the rear seat
-
Not a lot
- 4 zone climate control
- Wireless charging
- Panoramic sunroof
- Features list is surprisingly short for a flagship
-
What about safety?
- 6-airbags
- Seatbelt Reminder
- Traction Control
- Quattro all-wheel drive
- Audi Pre Sense basic
- (closes windows and pretensions seatbelts if a potential collision is detected)
- No active ADAS features
- Could have had a more advanced Audi Pre Sense package
-
What's it like to drive?
- 340PS, 500Nm and 0-100kmph in 5.6 seconds
- V6 engine is smooth and powerful
- Quattro system means you can drive it quickly with confidence
- Fuel-efficiency won't impressrnAll-wheel steering (Optional internationally) would have made it a bit more maneuverable in the city
-
It's Fun
- Fun around corners for its size
- The Size actually disappears when you are on the move
- Enough power to make the drive exciting and not scary
- A sport mode on the Audi Virtual Cockpit would have been nice
-
Comfortable too
- Adaptive suspension is really great
- Sport mode is supportive and fun
- Switching to comfort makes a noticeable difference
