A little over five years since it was first introduced, the Audi Q8 is now getting a facelift that brings with it styling and equipment revisions. For now, we\u2019re only presented with the regular Q8 and performance-minded SQ8 \u2013 the manic RS Q8 should get an update later.<\/p>\n

In terms of design changes, the Singleframe grille on the SUV now comes with octagonal elements for the insert, which are arranged in a teardrop shape with the base exterior and designed in the shape of an \u2018L\u2019 for models with the S line exterior and SQ8. Audi says this was done to differentiate the SUV from A-badged models as well as to make a point that the Q8 sits at the top of the range.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, there are more prominent air intakes and new headlamps, the latter available with high-intensity LEDs that can be upgraded to a matrix LED system with or without a laser light for the high beam. On the mention of lighting, the rear taillights now feature OLED technology also seen on the A8 and Q5.

Apart from performing a light show with coming and leaving home sequences as well as serving as dynamic turn signals, the OLED taillights also works with a proximity sensor to illuminate fully when a vehicle from behind comes within two metres of the SUV.<\/p>\n

Other revisions pointed out include two-dimensional rings that were first seen on the Q8 e-tron and \u201cvisually appealing\u201d tailpipes. As always, Audi offers a range of packages to dress up the exterior with more black accents if needed, along with new wheel designs ranging from 21 to 23 inches. The catalogue also includes various exterior colours as well as trims and upholsteries for the interior, which appears pretty much identical as before.<\/p>\n

The engine line-up for the Q8 consists of petrol TFSI and diesel TDI options based around a 3.0 litre V6, all paired with an eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive system. These engines also come with a mild hybrid system featuring a belt alternator starter (BAS) that is said to reduce fuel consumption by as much as 0.5 l\/100 km.

The BAS can also recuperate up to 8 kW, which is then fed to a battery to facilitate smooth start-stop beginning from as low as 22 km\/h as well as enable coasting with the engine off for up to 40 seconds at speeds between 55 and 160 km\/h. The engine line-up for the Q8 is as follows:<\/p>\n
