Audi Q8
Using a similar approach as other Audi models, the Q8 is essentially a coupe-like variant of the Q7, though with seating for five only. Another key difference can be found under the hood. Forget the four-cylinder engine—the Q8 lineup starts with a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6. Alternatively, customers can select a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 and enjoy either 500 horsepower (SQ8) or 591 horsepower (RS Q8). There are no significant changes to report for 2023.
