• Pros & Cons

  Pros	It shares its DNA with the Lamborghini Urus - same platform and engine. This 2494 kg SUV can do 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. Can also be used as a daily driver considering its comfortable ride. It looks much more handsome and sharper than the regular Q8.	It has an ultra-luxurious cabin with everything of soft-touch material. It comes equipped with next-level technology for safety, features. Both the engines on offer are very powerful in the segment. Gets gesture controls for operations of gates and another system. Has one of the largest touchscreen infotainment systems.
  Cons	The exhaust note could have been better. Despite its outstanding screens and interior layout, it appears outdated when compared to other German luxury SUVs. Not as practical as other Audi cars. The 4.0L V8 drinks fuel like a fish.	Some switchgear quality could have been improved. The cabin might feel overdone with the play of colors.
