Leaked images of the finished Audi Q8
Reporters working in Europe recently caught images of the upcoming Audi A8 during a test drive.
We’ve been waiting for the launch of the Audi Q8 for a long time. The direct rival to the BMW X6 has been previewed in two versions: the Q8 and the Q8 sport. The sportier version of the Q7 seems to be ready for launch, as European spy photographers have recently caught the “coupe” SUV on the road.

From the outside, we can see that the car is still faithful to the traditional design: hexagonal grille, slim headlights, low tail, rear windshield. While the taillights are not revealed yet, they seem to have a full-width design like the A8. We can also spot dual exhaust pipes, but in a simulated style.

In addition, the car also has a few changes compared to when it was displayed in the showroom. The air intakes under the headlights have been changed and the rear air vents have been removed. The side panels have been simplified as well as the side mirrors have been enlarged and the door handles have been added.

The interior of the Q8 has been revealed, following the style of the A8 with dual screens in the center console - the upper one for information, the lower one for climate control and other functions. There are also large air vents and large vents to give it a more coupe-like feel.

There are currently two engine versions available: a 3.0L V6 TFSI engine with 476 horsepower and a 48V hybrid system for the Q8 sport version and a 448 horsepower plug-in hybrid engine for the regular Q8 version. An 8-speed automatic transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive system will be standard equipment.
