Audi SQ8: What To Expect?

As informed earlier, the brand is all set to launch the Audi SQ8 in the country on March 17. The interior of the Audi SQ8 also largely mirrors the regular Audi Q8 SUV. The cabin features leatherette and alcantara upholstery. In terms of features, the Audi SQ8 comes equipped with a 12.3-inch touchscreen-based infotainment system and a similarly sized screen for the fully digital instrument cluster. The most significant factor that sets the Audi SQ8 and the regular Audi Q8 apart is the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine placed beneath the bonnet. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, and it generates a peak power and torque output of 507hp and 770 Nm, respectively.
