First drive: Audi's striking Q8 crossover | IOL Motoring

Cape Town - It's been a while since Audi has released something new in SA, but recently the brand came out of hibernation to reveal its new Q8 SUV. It’s a tough market right now, particularly in the premium category, as consumers look carefully at what they spend their money on. In fact, statistics show that more and more people are actually ‘buying down’. A brave move then coming in at an entry price of R1.

Audi claim a 0-100km/h time of 5.9 seconds and if you keep the loud pedal floored, a limited top speed of 250km/h can be achieved. Meanwhile, consumption they say should be in the region of 8.9 and 9.1L/100km , but probably closer to 11L/100km in real world conditions. The package is rounded off with Audi’s new HD Matrix lighting system that includes special locking and unlocking animations.

Once you get behind the wheel, the Q8 wraps comfortably around you with the virtual cockpit giving you crystal clear feedback
