Audi SQ8

The difference between the SQ8 and the Q8 is minimal at the exterior level. The upcoming model features more chrome elements, which elevate its road presence and give it a more regal appearance. In contrast, the regular Q8 gets several piano-black finish elements at the front, sides, and rear. This creates an interesting contradiction in terms of design, as the standard model appears sportier despite not featuring the powerhouse V8 engine.

That said, the upcoming model features S badging, quad exhaust tips, and most likely larger alloy wheels of 21 inches. The main talking point of this SUV is the 4.0L twin-turbo V8, making 507 PS and 770 Nm of peak-torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it does 0 to 100 km/l in 4.1 seconds.

This car will launch on March 17th, 2026 and it is expected to cost around Rs 2.5 Cr (ex-showroom).
