Performance is sent through the 8-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox to its quattro all-wheel drive system. It features a new 4.0-litre Biturbo V8 mild-hybrid diesel engine with 429bhp and 900 N⋅m (664 lb⋅ft) of torque.
Ī performance-focused version called the Audi SQ8 was launched in June 2019 with chassis revisions, and styling and technology upgrades. Early models included 55 TFSI e quattro, 60 TFSI e quattro. Pre-sales began in Germany and other European markets in 2020. The hybrid model, marketed as the Q8 TFSI e quattro is based on the Q8 3.0 TFSI (340 PS) model with 17.9 kWh battery. Įuropean models went on sale in July 2018, and arrived at dealers in August 2018. According to the Volkswagen Group's product strategy the Audi Q8 shares its platform with the Lamborghini Urus, among other products. It also has less cargo space than the Q7 due to its sloped roofline, and unlike the Q7, the Q8 is not available with third-row seats. The Q8 is slightly shorter than the Q7 in terms of both length and height, but is slightly wider. Additionally, both haptic and acoustic feedback are provided in response to user inputs. The interior features the knob-less MMI system, three touch screens and an enlarged virtual cockpit which has a fully digital instrument cluster. The Q8 features full-laser headlamps and taillamps, the first-ever in a crossover or SUV. The grill is larger and now has an octagonal shape, with both vertical and horizontal slats, and the character lines of the Q8 are inspired by the Audi Quattro rally car from the 1980s. The Q8 is the first SUV model under Audi's new head of design, Marc Lichte, and will introduce a new design language for the brand's SUVs. Audi never made a direct competitor but had been planning to once the new bodystyle became a sales success for other brands. BMW launched its coupe SUV in 2008, the BMW X6, and Mercedes-Benz followed suit in 2015 with the GLE-Class Coupe.
