Audi Q8 Facelift Exterior & Interior Design
The very focus in the facelifted Q8 is the new HD Matrix LED headlights with laser assistance for the high beam and configurable light signatures. The grille has received noticeable updates, with new octagonal apertures and ‘L’-shaped inserts, while the air intakes in the bumper have been reshaped.
Although the rear remains largely unchanged from its predecessor, the tail lamps have a redesigned appeal.
The interiors come nearly identical, with changes limited to upholstery stitching and new colour schemes. The facelifted Q8 continues to feature Audi’s twin MMI touchscreens, four-zone climate control, and heated seats with ventilation and massaging function. It also retains the Bang & Olufsen hi-fi system.
Audi Q8 Facelift Engine & Gearbox
The India-specific Q8 facelift still boasts its 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol engine paired with a 48V hybrid system, producing 500Nm of torque and 340HP. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that powers all four wheels via the Quattro AWD system.
The Q8 facelift is 10 lakh INR over the tag of the current outgoing model. With no direct rivals, the coupe-SUV will be an alternative to traditional competitors, namely Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X5.
