Audi Q8: A Luxury SUV with Mid-Size Sport Coupe Aspirations for the Temecula, CA Drive

With design nods to timeless brands such as Bentley, Lamborghini, and Porsche, the latest full-size Audi SUV promises to be exemplary of all that makes the Four Rings the luxury moniker it is -- stylish, excitingly sporty, comfortably refined and upscale, and loaded with the latest technologies. Whether you step into the driver's seat of a base Premium trim, graduate to the midrange Premium Plus, or go fully loaded in Prestige, you'll be in for memorable drive. Explore the new Audi Q8 further right here at Audi Temecula.

Power and Performance

Behind the wheel, a turbocharged 335 horsepower, 3.0-liter TFSI® V6 roads to life, capable of putting out 369 pound-feet of torque. Together with standard quattro® all-wheel drive, that means plenty of turning and pulling power for diverse terrain and inclement weather alike. An eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission, designed close-ratio for smooth transitions between gears, as well as an adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering capability,  ensure pleasantly confident handling. Audi Drive Select can even tailor the ride to your driving style and preferences.

Safety and Driver-Assist Features

The new Q8 provides comprehensive protection from your driveway to the highway and for the return trip home, with advanced tech you won't find elsewhere. Audi pre sense® 360, for instance, uses up to 24 available sensors to monitor your surroundings, while Audi pre sense® basic and city can make automatic preparations for an impending collision. Audi adaptive cruise assist can help you effectively navigate traffic jams, intersections, and turns, while Audi active lane with and emergency assist features make it easy to stay on course, with the benefit of rear cross traffic assist for situational awareness and traffic sign recognition to keep you on top of local ordinances. Elements like a top view camera system with virtual 360-degree viewing, front and rear sensors, and vehicle exit warning help you park and leave the vehicle safely and with ease.

Interior Features

An Audi luxury SUV is nothing if not exceedingly accommodating, and Q8 demonstrates this with distinction. Behind dual-pane acoustic-dampened glass, creating a peaceful cabin, and under the accent of a panoramic sunroof with power sunshade, you can find available premium features like Valcona leather seating. Contoured for comfort, it comes optionally heated and ventilated, with 18-way power adjustment, a massage function, and passenger settings memory. Plus, heated rear seats are available, as are dual- or four-zone climate control, making it a breeze to set interior conditions to your liking. Collapse all rear seating, and you can make use of up to 67.5 cubic feet of cargo space, with your quarry accessible by power tailgate. You can even take anything from a pop-up tent, trailerful of camping gear, or pair of ATVs to a second vehicle along for the ride thanks to a 7,700-pound towing capacity.

Technology

A new Audi Q8 puts you in control of both your entertainment and connectivity for the duration, with a unique slate of amenities. An MMI® touch response infotainment system is its centerpiece, flanked by an Audi smartphone interface, which, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, lets you connect your mobile phone and access its apps and features in-dash. What's more, available inductive device charging can keep electronics energized and ready to go. There's also an MMI Navigation plus system available with a voice control system to make your travel plans a matter of course, as well as an optional 730-watt, 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D premium sound system that can take your road mix into anthem territory.
