Inside, the cabin of the all-new Audi Q8 boasts with the latest technology, meaning up-to-date infotainment systems, OLED touchscreens which are highlighted by the high-resolution 12.3-inch screens, adding other functionalities with tactile buttons. The same technology lets you find out about climate and traffic conditions.
But the car`s main highlight is the hybrid powertrain it comes under the hood, which proves to be not only powerful, but also more fuel-efficient. We are looking here at a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine with 245 kW and 500 Nm of torque, hooked to an electric motor.
