Audi allows you to add a personal touch to the Q8 by picking from a long list of optional packages. A popular option is body colours, ranging from traditional SUV hues to more sophisticated options, like Audi's Galaxy blue. For more aggressive styling, you should go for the Titanium Black option pack and add 22-inch alloy wheels to the Q8 S line. In addition, you can get the unique lights that beam the 4-ringed logo of Audi toward the ground.

There are 3 diesel engine options for the Audi Q8: the 231 bhp 45 TDI, 286 bhp 50 TDI and the most powerful diesel engine option? the 429 bhp turbocharged V8 SQ8. In addition, there are 2 petrol options, including the 305 bhp 3.0-litre V6 55 TFSI engine, which goes from 0-62 mph in 5.9 seconds. Finally, the top-range option is the remarkably powerful 592 bhp V8 RS Q8 petrol engine.

Audi disguises the chunkiness of the Q8 with a brilliantly designed selectable drive mode system, comprising a total of 7 drive modes. For a softer and more comfortable ride, opt for the Comfort or the Standard drive mode. Select the Dynamic mode if you need a firmer ride, especially when cruising at high speeds. If you need to test the Q8's track capability or take it off the road, shift it into Off-Road drive mode.

Yes. However, Audi doesn't promote the hybrid system as a key feature when marketing the Q8. The reason is that it doesn't contribute much to its overall performance. Instead, the Q8 features a 48-volt mild-hybrid technology system that enables the engine to coast off-throttle and minimises turbo lag. As a result, it increases the fuel economy to 41.5 mpg and reduces CO2 emissions to 178 g/km, which is significantly better than expected from a car of its size.

Passengers in the front and rear seats get ample legroom and headroom in the tech-filled 5-seater SUV. However, its design rules out the possibility of adding a third row of seats. In terms of boot space, it offers a 605-litre boot that falls short compared to the 770-litre boot in the Audi Q7. Still, the boot space is bigger than that of its main rival, BMW X6.

The Audi Q8 was partially tested by the Euro NCAP and equally measured up to the same safety standards as its Q7 counterpart. Hence, the Audi Q8 received the same 5-star safety rating. The results include a 93% and 81% score for adult and child occupant protection, respectively. Audi is among the industry's leaders in terms of safety features. It includes several driver assistance technologies, such as lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
