Q8 50 TDI quattro competition plus

STORY

Debuting in June 2018, the Audi Q8 became the flagship of Audi's SUV line, blending the raised practicality of an SUV with the sleeker roofline of a coupe. It sits above the Q7 as the design-led statement of the "Q" family.

Sharing its MLB Evo platform with the Q7, Bentley Bentayga and Porsche Cayenne, the Q8 offered mild-hybrid TFSI and TDI powertrains and, in SQ8 and RS Q8 forms, genuine high-performance credentials. It marked Audi's entry into the coupe-SUV segment pioneered by the BMW X6 and became the modern face of the brand at the top of its combustion-era SUV range.
