Cape Town - Audi’s flagship SUV has arrived to rival the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe and the Ingolstadt newcomer should at least win the novelty war for now, given that its rivals are at the tail end of their life cycles.
The V6 petrol that’s available for now is good for 250kW, with 500Nm available from 1370 to 4500 rpm, and against the clock this one is said to be capable of surging from 0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds. The engine is mated to a 48-volt ‘mild hybrid’ electrical system that can reduce consumption by up to 0.7 litres per 100km.
The interior resembles that in the new-generation A6 and A7 models, with a digital instrument cluster and two vertically-stacked central touchscreens . The screens feature a black panel design that allows them to visually blend into the dashboard when not in use. The Q8 also comes with a modern voice-activated assistant that can respond to prompts like “I am hungry”.
Standard features on the Q8 include MMI Navigation Plus, a 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system, four-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats, parking aid plus surround view with 360 degree display, keyless start, cruise control, panoramic glass sunroof, HD Matrix LED headlights and 20-inch alloy wheels.
