In Audi's SUV lineup, only the Audi Q7 can be picked, but the Q7 is just the opponent of the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE.
After a long-awaited start, Audi's new Q8 finally has to unveil the true face of Q8. Audi officially confirmed that the new sports SUV Q8 will be officially released for the first time at the Detroit Auto Show in January next year.
Q8 will make up for the "cross-border Q7" market positioning, and the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe in the market for sports SUVs.
"Big" version of Q7?As early as 2012, Audi revealed the Q8 research and development plan. Since that time, many people believe that the Q8 will be Audi's flagship full-size SUV. It is also speculated that Audi will launch Q8 and Q9 at the same time, Q8 takes the cross-border movement route, and Q9 is the full-size "true life".
Overseas media had previously exposed an Audi new car plan, the name of the Audi Q8 first appeared in the plan, it will be positioned in a large SUV, and compete with Mercedes-Benz GLS and the planned BMW X7. From the spy photos of the exposure, the new car is still camouflaged with the Audi Q7's outer casing, but we can see that the new car has a wider wheel eyebrow design, which means that the new car will have a wider track than the current Q7.
Audi said that the Q8 will be built based on the current new generation Q7, the body size will not change much, but the details of the front face, top and tail will be more dynamic, such as the six sides shown on the official concept map. Large mouth and exaggerated front intake. And it is expected to be equipped with laser headlights.
The Q8's roof is smoother, the D-pillars have a larger angle of inclination, and the rear is designed with a small spoiler.
The change of Q8 not only stays in the outer casing, but the inside will be the most digitized Audi car to date. The official statement has confirmed that Q8 will adopt full touch control and LCD instrument panel, and almost no traditional one can be found in the cockpit. Physical buttons, except for some small features such as seat adjustment, window lift, etc.
The Q8 and Q7 are in the same line, all from the MLB Evo platform, sharing power configuration, including gasoline engine version, diesel version and hybrid version. It is also reported that the Q8 will be equipped with the 3.0T V6 petrol and 4.0T V8 diesel engine already used on the new Porsche Panamera. The hybrid version (Q8 e-tron 3.0 TDI) can reach 56 km. The Q8's high-profile models will also be equipped with a 48-volt weak-mix system that has appeared on Bentley Tim.
The hybrid version is almost inevitable, and even a purely electric version may be introduced, as the E-tron appears on the Q8 front bumper in the official concept map.
Audi said that there is no direct positioning between Q8 and Q7, and the styles of the two models are different. In the future, Q8 will mainly compete with Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and BMW X6.
