The completely new model wasn’t expected to have major changes from the 2019 model but Audi has overwhelmed their audience with minor and major improvements, a minor fix being the DVD player that used to sit in the glovebox and it has been completely removed because the car has one of the best connectivity features, DVD’s already becoming obsolete.

The Audi Q8 comes in 3 variants as follows:

Audi Q8 Premium starting at 69.195 USD

Audi Q8 Premium Plus starting at 73.195 USD

Audi Q8 Prestige starting at 78.695 USD

Engine and performance

The new Audi Q8 flaunts a 3.0 litres plus V-6 capable of making 335 horsepower as well as 369 lb-ft of torque working at the same time as the iconic Quattro all-wheel drive and automatic eight speed transmission.

The start-stop feature is assisted by a 48 V Hybrid system similar to the Maserati Ghibli Micro Hibrid System and it proved to be quiet and smooth during driving.

The towing capacity of the Audi Q8 is the adequate amount of 7700 lbs (3500 kg) and with all that it still offers a sporty driving experience with impressive riding capability.

The test vehicle used had 22 inch wheel as against the standard 20 inch on the older model and for this reason it made the vehicle drive quietly and smoothly even on uneven road surfaces but it also had the optional air suspension that must’ve made its contribution in the trip.

The Q8 is also equipped with 4 wheel steering whose ride height is adjustable and it also comes with an adaptive chassis variant, all these features making the car more efficient in handling tight spaces and roller coaster terrain.

The new model exceeded the expectations of everyone on fuel efficiency having as little as 28 mpg (10 l/100km) over the 200 miles drove in testing.
