Audi Q8 is the only luxury SUV in its space to get seven-seater

The India-spec Audi Q8 is on sale with one engine option: a 3 litre 6-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that generates a top power of 340 Bhp and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. The power was delivered to the four wheels through an 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Despite the massive weight of over 2.1 tons, the Q8 can ensure a quite impressive performance with a top speed of 250 Kmph. It can propel from idle to 100 kmph in 5.9 seconds.

On the inside, the Audi Q8 can accommodate at best seven occupants, making it a unique offering in the segment where most cars can only hold up to five seaters. The seven seating layout might help the Audi Q8 to win over other competitors.

Audi has started the delivery of this car to some customers. Given that the Virat Kolhi received the car even before the official delivery, it is likely that his Q8 was a gift from the brand since he was the brand ambassador. It was a common practice for car brands to send their expensive cars to the brand ambassador as a part of the endorsement contract. Since starting the endorsement for Audi Q8, Virat Kohli has added several Audi cars to his garage. One among them is the R8 LMX which is the fastest car produced by the German car brand. Previously, Virat Kohli has sold the Audi A8. Following the Audi Q8, the new-gen Audi A8 is about to be launched in our market soon.
