Audi has given its flagship SUV, the Q8, a mid-cycle refresh. The new Audi Q8 facelift was unveiled at the IAA Motor Show in Munich, Germany and will initially be offered in two variants: Standard & S. The range-topping RS version is expected to be introduced at a later date.<\/p>\n
The new Audi Q8 facelift features a number of small yet significant updates. This includes subtle design revisions and a bunch of new features and tech. Starting with the exterior; the new Q8 facelift now gets a single-frame grille with octagonal design elements, a revised bumper design and new high-intensity LED units are now offered as standard – with the optional Matrix LEDs or HD Matrix units with Laser light. The Q8 facelift also gets newly designed alloy wheels ranging from 21 to 23 inches, a revised rear bumper and tweaked OLED tail lights.<\/p>\n
Inside, the dashboard of the Q8 facelift remains unchanged from the outgoing version. The SUV continues to feature a virtual cockpit digital instrument cluster, a large central touchscreen display with connected tech and plenty of driver assistance systems.<\/p>\n
The Audi Q8 facelift also gets the same set of powertrain options as before. The base ‘Standard’ variant comes with either a petrol or diesel V6 mild-hybrid engine option, while the SQ8 gets a larger 4.0-litre mild-hybrid V8 turbo-petrol engine. An 8-speed automatic is standard, as is the Quattro all-wheel-drive system.<\/p>\n
