The rise in popularity of SUVs, the increasing demand for attention to detail from consumers, the push for advanced technology, and the tough competition in the vehicle market have all led manufacturers to think innovatively. This has resulted in the development of superior machines with top-notch performance driven by cutting-edge technologies that are now dominating our roads.
The Audi Q8 proves itself to be a strong contender with all the attributes of a top performer. It is based on the blueprint of the larger three-row Audi Q7 but sets itself apart by accommodating only five passengers instead of more.
A standout feature in the Q8 is the latest upgrade to the infotainment system present in some of its newer models. The system boasts a 10.1-inch touchscreen that provides tactile feedback when you interact with it, giving users a more responsive experience.
Similar to a smartphone interface, you can easily rearrange icons by holding them for a second and even create shortcuts for your favorite apps, allowing for a more personalized user experience. Audi also promises to equip the system with voice recognition capabilities, adding to its appeal.
Under the hood, the Q8 houses a powerful 335-hp, 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine coupled with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This setup enables the vehicle to operate on electric power for short distances, contributing to its efficiency.
Audi plans to further enhance this feature in future models, with the upcoming 2019 A8 carrying forward these advancements. Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds, the Q8 stands out as a formidable player in the realm of luxury SUVs.
Equipped with a standard suspension offering various driving modes, the Q8 also offers an optional suspension that can elevate the vehicle for better clearance, making off-road adventures a breeze.
In the competitive landscape of luxury SUVs, the Audi Q8 is poised to make a strong impression. Anticipated deliveries are set to commence within the next year, and it’s highly likely that consumers will be captivated by its charm.
