The 2023 Audi Q8 is a luxurious mid-sized crossover vehicle, produced by the German automaker Audi since 2019. It is the biggest SUV and crossover in the Audi lineup, and its design is inspired by the Audi quattro rally cars from the 1980s. It uses the same platform as the Lamborghini Urus.
Exterior
The 2023 Audi Q8 blends the graceful elements of classic sports coupes with the spaciousness and practicality associated with family cars. Its powerful lines and curved sporty roof embody the robustness, top-notch quality, and agility that are hallmarks of SUVs. At the back, the continuous strip lights are supported by black surfaces, while the LED headlights are of superior quality, providing sharp and precise illumination with the added benefit of reducing glare for oncoming and front-facing vehicles. The car also boasts 21-inch metallic rims with brake calipers painted in red.

The car’s practicality is highlighted by its spacious interior, with a luggage storage space of 605 liters. The rear seat row consists of three seats that can be adjusted backwards or forwards to create more space for passengers or luggage at the back of the car. Moving the seats forward creates a larger storage space of up to 1755 liters. Passengers can enjoy the cabin’s massage function and seat ventilation in the front individual bucket seats, which are covered in leather. For an added touch of luxury, an advanced multimedia system with a touch screen or a digital cockpit can be added as optional features, along with other advanced communication and entertainment technologies.
