Audi Q8 Previewed in New Design Sketch
The Audi Q8 has been previewed in a new official design sketch released by the German automaker.
The sketch shows off the rear of the Q8, revealing a full-width rear light bar and a sporty-looking rear diffuser with integrated exhaust tips.
Spy shots from earlier in the year revealed the Q8’s design in full, showing a svelte silhouette with a rearward sloping roofline and pronounced wheel arches.
In the US, the Q8 will likely be offered with turbocharged V6 and V8 engines from the VW Group portfolio. A plug-in hybrid is also expected to arrive, although it may not be available immediately from launch. The plug-in could boast a pure electric driving range of around 31 miles – about double the EV range of the Porsche Cayenne Plug-In. It will tap VW Group’s MLB platform, which serves in the Audi Q7, Lamborghini Urus, Bentley Bentayga and others.
