Audi Q8
Model Overview
The Audi Q8 is a premium mid-size SUV coupe. It's based on the seven-seat Q7, but adds more luxury for fewer passengers, as it leaves out that larger model's third row seats. As its name suggests, the Q8 aligns with the A8 sedan as one of the brand's poshest cars. Inside a body that oozes presence and attitude, the Q8 packs the kind of beautifully appointed, high-tech cabin we've come to expect from Audi.
