Audi has its eyes set on offering a coupe SUV like its German rivals.
Previewing the upcoming model is the Audi Q8 e-Tron Concept at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show, featuring a sharp design, massive front grille, futuristic-looking headlights and no window frames. The production model will sit at the top of the German automaker’s SUV lineup as its name suggests and will head to dealerships in 2018. For now, the concept gives a good idea of what to expect, although we’ll get a clearer picture when the production model likely bows later this year.
