The Audi Q8 can tow up to 7700 pounds when equipped with a Towing package. 2024 Audi Q8, SQ8 Gain Sleeker Styling, New LEDs.Still, it hauled the hefty crossover from 70 mph to zero in a competitive 170 feet during our emergency braking test. Its brake pedal was easy to modulate at highway speed but suffered from inconsistent reactions in traffic. With adjustable ride height and four-wheel steering (included with the Adaptive Chassis package), our Q8 was agile in tight spaces and capable of tackling choppy terrain. These large rollers were mostly quiet even on lumpy surfaces. Our test vehicle had the optional air suspension and wore 22-inch wheels-21-inchers are standard. The Q8's steering has light effort and linear feedback, which was relaxing on long trips but boring on switchback roads. While it swiftly changes directions and obediently hustles around corners, it's less engaging than Audi sedans such as the sleek A7. We only wish the engine and exhaust made gutsier sounds. The transmission had mostly dutiful reactions, but it and the engine best cooperated in Dynamic mode, which provoked snappier responses. While the Audi had plenty of passing power on the highway, it felt hesitant around town unless we crushed the gas pedal. A 48-volt hybrid-assist system aids stop-start operation, which was smooth and quiet during our experience. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive. Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceĪudi provides every Q8 with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 that makes 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. The latter unlocks the Q8's maximum tow rating of 7700 pounds. We'd also add the Convenience package (blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, wireless charging, and more) and the Towing package. While 21-inch rims are standard, we'd still spec the Black Optic package for its sportier appearance. Its standout standard features already include a fully digital gauge cluster, built-in navigation, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a power-operated tailgate. We'd choose the Audi Q8 Premium trim and enhance it with select options.
