The new Audi Q8 is equipped with a 3.0L TFSI engine that produces 340 hp and 500 Nm of torque, enhanced by a 48V Mild Hybrid system for better performance and fuel efficiency. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h. Buyers will have a choice of eight exterior colors, including Sakhir Gold and Mythos Black, while the interior offers four color options, such as Okapi Brown and Pando Gray.

It will likely feature twin MMI touchscreens, a head-up display, four-zone climate control, power-adjustable front seats, multi-color ambient lighting, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, and a powered tailgate. For safety, the upcoming Q8 may include ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, parking sensors front and rear, a 360-degree camera, multiple airbags, and enhanced ADAS technology.
The updated Audi Q8, featuring minor cosmetic tweaks and additional new features, is expected to be priced higher than the current model, which ranges from Rs 1.07 crore to Rs 1.43 crore (ex-showroom).
