Sporty driving experience: driving dynamics and motor
The purely mechanical center differential transfers the forces to the front axle and rear axle at a ratio of 40:60 as standard. When required, it transfers the majority to the axle with the better traction.Besides the standard progressive steering, whose steering ratio becomes increasingly direct the further the steering wheel is turned, Audi also offers the option of all-wheel steering. It can turn the rear wheels as much as 5 degrees – counter to the direction of the turn at low speeds to increase agility and at higher speeds in the direction of the turn for better stability. All drive systems are particularly efficient thanks to the new mild hybrid technology (MHEV).
The pared-back, elegant design, the optionally available customized contour seats with massage function and ventilation, the 4-zone deluxe automatic air conditioning and the air quality package underline the noble ambience of the Audi Q8.
Digital character
Two high-resolution 10.1- and 8.6-inch HD touchscreens are integrated into the centre console seamlessly with an impressive level of detail to make every journey comfortable. The upper display provides access to the infotainment systems and the lower display provides access to air conditioning, comfort functions and text input. The haptic and acoustic feedback gives this state-of-the-art technology a very ‘real’ feel, while reducing the number of buttons and controls required in the cabin. A clever addition, the natural language voice control turns it into an intelligent conversationalist as drivers can formulate their statements freely
Contour light
In the dark, the contour light traces the distinctive design lines of the interior and provides backlight for the three dimensionally lasered quattro badge above the glove compartment – an example for the love of detail at Audi.
Identity: the light
Standard LED headlights illuminate the road, with HD Matrix LED technology available as an option.
More safty: assistant systems
Whether parking, in the city or on long journeys – the Audi Q8 supports its driver in many situations. Among the systems contributing here are the cruise control with speed limiter or park assist with reverse camera (10 sensors)... Behind all of these features is the central driver assistance controller. It continuously computes a differentiated model of the surroundings and uses this to manage the assistance systems. The required data are obtained – depending on the selected options – from up to five radar sensors, six cameras and twelve ultrasound sensors.
Versatile and elegant: the space concept
The Audi Q8 radiates sporty dynamism and noble prestige. The three rear seats can be moved longitudinally as desired. When their backrests are folded down, the luggage compartment under the electrically operated tailgate holds up to 1,755 litres.
