You don't have to accept driving a vehicle that is the new "boring family van." SUVs offer everything you need but can lack elegance and sophistication. The Audi Q8 interior changes everything you know about SUVs.
The exterior features more aggressive styling that gives the Q8 an attitude that commands attention while on the road. The interior creates a quiet and cozy space that features innovative technology, high-quality sound, and luxurious materials.
If you wonder if the Audi Q8 is right for you, these ten stunning features will convince you.
1. Luxurious Audi Q8 Interior
The interior of luxury vehicles is where they shine with sophistication and elegance. The Q8 comes in four themes that combine several interior options. The first option is a blacked-out interior.
Another option features the blacked-out interior and changes the seats to Okapi brown with steel gray stitching. If you prefer a lighter interior, two options have a silver headliner with either Pando gray or Saiga beige seats.
The front seats feature contouring that wraps and supports your body. At the same time, the rear seats have plenty of room for fully grown adults. Valcone/Cricket leather seating feels buttery soft against your skin for a luxurious experience.
The Prestige trim includes a massage function for the front seats. A seat upgrade for the rear seats that adds heating is also available.
2. Technology
Elevating your experience is a Virtual Cockpit Plus that features a customizable digital instrument cluster. The 12.3-inch HD display has three display modes: Classic, Sport, and Dynamic.
The Q8 also features dual infotainment touchscreens. Operating the infotainment touchscreen is like using your smartphone with an intuitive menu, responsive operation, and haptic feedback.
The primary touchscreen is 10.1 inches, while the secondary climate-control touchscreen is 8.6 inches. This secondary screen also has handwriting recognition.
3. Night Vision
To reach some of the best hiking trails near Charlotte, you have to get out of the city and into nature. However, this also means more challenging driving on darker roads that twist and turn. You are also at a greater risk of wild animals being on the road.
An optional night vision assistant gives you confidence by alerting you to pedestrians and large animals that could be in your path. The thermal imaging camera intuitively detects objects. It then projects the image onto the Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus.
4. Driver Assistance
Take your driving experience to another level with the suite of driver assist features. Remote parking assist takes the hassle out of parking.
Your Q8 automatically maneuvers into and out of parallel and perpendicular spaces. You can control this feature through your myAudi app while standing outside your vehicle.
The top-view camera system gives you a new perspective of your Q8's surroundings. Zoom in, swipe to view different angles, and toggle between 3D camera views.
Never let traffic stress you out with adaptive cruise control with lane guidance. The system automatically maintains a time-distance setting from the vehicle in front. It also keeps you centered in the lane.
One common location where accidents happen is when traveling through intersections. The Q8 Prestige comes standard with the Intersection Assist feature.
Sensors detect traveling cross traffic as you navigate through the intersection. The system then alerts you and helps you avoid an accident with brief braking.
5. Connectivity
You can control your Audi Q8 with a few finger taps on your smartphone in the myAudi App. The app allows you to manage the status and location of your vehicle.
You can check your fuel level or even operate the lights. You can schedule your vehicle through the app at your chosen dealership if your vehicle needs service.
Audi Connected Services are one of the best Audi features. They take smart features and controls to another level for a seamless driving and ownership experience. The Audi Connect Nav and PLUS service comes with a free six-month trial and becomes a subscription service.
The service includes full-speed Wi-Fi hotspot capability, satellite imagery, traffic light information, online/hybrid radio, and Amazon Alexa integration.
6. Black Optic Package
Give your Q8 a sleek design with the Black Optic Package. It comes with bold 22-inch 5-double-arm designed wheels in a graphic gray and diamond-turned finish. Mounted on them are all-season tires.
Audi badges and rings are blacked out and paired with dark chrome exhaust tips. Finally, the trim throughout the Q8's exterior is black, including the window surrounds, roof rails, grille, and door blades.
7. Towing Capacity
When you think of Audi models, you think luxury and sophistication, not workhorse. The Audi Q8 will change your view. It has luxury but can also tow up to 7,700 pounds.
Add the towing package to your Q8, which will equip your vehicle for maximum towing. It comes with a tow hitch receiver and a seven-pin connector.
8. Convenience Package
The convenience package upgrades your Q8 for a more pleasurable driving experience. It includes a heated steering wheel, a wireless device charging pad, and a top-view camera system with virtual 360-degree views.
9. Cargo Capacity
While there are several types of Audis, the Q8 comes ready for family life. Behind the rear seats, you have a generous 30.5 cubic feet of cargo space. With the rear seats folded down, the cargo capacity increases to 60.7 cubic feet.
This massive amount of space gives you plenty of room for groceries, sports equipment, or luggage.
10. Bang & Olufsen
Immerse yourself in the best sound quality on the market with a Bang & Olufsen sound system. The 1,920-watt system features 23 speakers strategically placed throughout the Q8. Retractable acoustic lens tweeters highlight the 3D sound.
