Engine Displacement: 2,995 cc
The Audi Q8 is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 TFSI petrol engine. This flagship unit is equipped with a 48V Mild-Hybrid (MHEV) system as standard. The high-voltage system allows the SUV to harvest energy during deceleration, storing it in a compact lithium-ion battery to power the vehicle's electrical systems and assist the engine during restarts, ensuring a buttery-smooth driving experience in city traffic.
Max Power: 335 bhp @ 5,200–6,400 rpm
Generating 335 brake horsepower, the Q8 provides effortless acceleration. The engine is tuned to deliver its peak power over a broad rev range, ensuring that the flagship SUV maintains its composure whether it is merging onto an expressway or climbing steep Himalayan gradients.
Max Torque: 500 Nm @ 1,370–4,500 rpm
With 500 Nm of torque available almost from idle, the Q8 offers immediate responsiveness. This massive low-end torque is crucial for a vehicle of this size, allowing it to move its substantial mass with an agility that belies its dimensions.
0-100 km/h: 5.6 Seconds
Despite its luxury-first focus, the Q8 is deceptively fast, reaching 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds. This performance is achieved through the synergy of the V6 engine, the quick-shifting 8-speed Tiptronic gearbox, and the persistent grip of the Quattro all-wheel-drive system.
