Overview
Well if one needs a machine that grabs attention for them, their choice comes straight at this set of wheels, the new 2023 Audi Q8, making the name in the list of top-notch high end SUVs of the world. The Q8’s proportions are wider, shorter, and lower but the dramatic design sacrifices back-seat headroom, passenger capacity, and cargo area to the Q7 as the Q8 is only offered as a five-seater with two rows.
As similar to its Sedan-cousin the Audi A6, even this shares a 8-speed automatic transmission and a turbocharged 335-horsepower V6 engine in the bay. Now this big machine also comes with its rivals, being the all time famous Bentley Bentayga and the runner Porsche Cayenne.
