Audi Q8 Specs & Dimensions

Even entry-level S-Line cars come with plenty of equipment as standard. You get LED headlights, 21-inch alloy wheels and comfortable air suspension as standard alongside leather sports seats and a three-screen infotainment system with built-in sat-nav and smartphone mirroring. Front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera also come as standard to help make it easy to manoeuvre and you get plenty of active safety kit, including automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control to help prevent avoidable collisions.

Everything about the Q8 is big, so even the vast 22-inch wheels look normal. Up front are HD Matrix LED lights, while inside there's quad-zone climate control, heated and electrically adjustable front seats with memory function and more HD screens than your local multiplex.

Audi's range-topping SUV gets big 22-inch wheels with the Black Edition, as well as black badging and door mirrors. On the inside you'll find a three-spoke leather steering wheel and polished oak inlays, while opening any of the doors at night reveals what the brand calls Audi Beam, which projects a logo onto the ground.

Range-topping Vorsprung models come with lots of kit borrowed from S-Line models – including LED headlights, parking sensors and a three-screen infotainment system with sat-nav and smartphone mirroring – but add some desirable extras. Instead of the S-Line’s 21-inch wheels, you get larger 22-inch items and the standard car’s leather seats have been replaced by some more supportive Super Sports items with Nappa leather upholstery. You also get heated rear seats, a Bang & Olufsen stereo and a sportier flat-bottomed steering wheel.
