The Audi Q8 was launched on our shores in 2020 and has been awaiting an update ever since. Now, Audi has finally refreshed its flagship ICE SUV in India, and the facelifted Q8 is priced at Rs 1.17 crore (ex-showroom). The 2024 Q8 gets subtle design changes on the outside and new colour schemes inside. Let’s have a look at what all the facelifted Audi Q8 has to offer.

Exterior Changes

At first glance, the Q8 facelift may seem largely unchanged, with the design updates being quite small. However, the fascia now looks refreshed thanks to its updated grille with vertical inlays, revised HD Matrix LED headlights, new LED DRLs with digital signatures, and a restyled bumper with redesigned air intakes.

From the side, it gets new graphite grey 21-inch alloy wheels with red brake callipers, while all other things here remain the same as before. At the rear, the updated Q8 now features updated connected LED tail lights and the design of the rear bumper has also been tweaked. 

The 2024 Q8 now also gets a new Sakhir Gold Metallic exterior shade. It also comes with seven other colour options: Glacier White Metallic, Mythos Black Metallic, Samurai Gray Metallic, Satellite Silver Metallic, Tamarind Brown Metallic, Vicugna Beige Metallic, and Waitomo Blue Metallic.
