Audi Q8
A new addition to Audi's SUV lineup, the Q8 relies on its sportier character to set itself apart from its stablemates, with its lower roofline and a more athletic stance. A 335-horsepower, turbocharged V6 is standard, as is an eight-speed automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, obviously. The cockpit features a mix of wood and bright trim for a refined and modern look. The Q8 rivals the BMW X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.
