The Audi Q8 2019 is the current king of SUV coupes, according to a British review

This mode is designed as a rival for the Mercedes GLC coupe and the BMW X6. It is designed to be a lifestyle choice, a bold statement that says "I have more money and style than you", much like an iPhone with wheels.

We spent a lot of time with the Q8, and it's much more than a Q7 with a broken roof. Audi is to be congratulated for not having tried to save money in its design department, unlike its German competitors.

Carwow's Mat Watson compares her front end to a mouthpiece that you get at the dentist, and this fair … probably also a little disgusting. But if you think that big grids and false contributions make a SUV the sporty look, you will probably find the Q8 attractive.

Although it seems like it could have a fist fight with the Lamborghini Urus to which it is closely related, the Q8 is only available with a 3.0. TDI, the V6, you will find it also under the hood of the VW Touareg. This offer 286 HP and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque, which is enough to launch from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.3 seconds.

Later, the Germans promised a 340 HP 3.0 TFSI, which is expected to debut in a few months, and a V8. By that, we suspect the 435 HP 4.0 TDI that will power the SQ8, although an RS Q8 of at least 600 HP is also en route.

The Q8 costs about £ 13,000 more than the Q7 in the UK, but it offers a lot more kits. For example, the dual-screen dashboard is much more advanced and the standard air suspension makes turning easier. We would also like to put a price on the beauty of these frameless doors.

Even though it's not available with seven seats as its practical brother, there's room for limousines at the back. And as the roof is not as sloped as on the BMW X6, the ceiling height is good too.
