Audi Q8 – Bold Luxury Meets Off-Road Capability

The Audi Q8 strikes a fine balance between sporty elegance and practical off-road performance. It comes standard with 20-inch alloy wheels, while 21-inch alloys are available as an option. With an impressive ground clearance of 254 mm, short overhangs, and Audi’s legendary quattro all-wheel drive system, the Q8 is equipped to handle a variety of terrains with confidence.

Adding to its versatility is the adaptive air suspension with controlled damping, offered by Audi India in either Comfort or Sport setup. This system can adjust the ride height by up to 90 mm depending on the driving conditions, making it equally capable on city roads and rugged trails.

Performance

The Q8 will be available in India exclusively with a 3.0-litre TFSI petrol engine, delivering a robust 340 hp and 500 Nm of torque. It complies with BS6 emission norms, accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h.

A highlight of the powertrain is the 48-volt mild-hybrid system, which includes a lithium-ion battery and a belt alternator starter. This setup allows for energy recuperation of up to 12 kW during braking, improving overall efficiency.

Interior & Technology

Inside, the Q8 is as futuristic as it is luxurious. Key features include:

• Customized contour seats with massage and ventilation

• Four-zone climate control

• Air quality package with fragrance and ionizer

Technology takes center stage with three high-resolution displays:

• 10.1-inch upper touchscreen for infotainment and navigation

• 8.6-inch lower touchscreen for climate control and convenience features

• 12.3-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster, customizable via the multifunction steering wheel

The Audi Q8 offers a compelling package for those seeking a luxury SUV with standout design, tech-rich interiors, and real off-road credentials.
