Audi Q8

Alphanumeric trends are everywhere, and the Q8 is new following the Q7 in order of release, but is smaller in proportion. This of course is confusing because when it comes to Audi cars the A8 is bigger than A7. Semantics aside, the Q8 is a handsome two-row midsize crossover vehicle. Where Q8 shines is in performance and ergonomics. It drives really well and feels snug. Handling is responsive to the touch and ideal for daily driving and scooting around town with the powerful underpinnings of a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 enginer and eight-speed automatic transmission. It shares a platform with the VW group's other luxe brands including the Porsche Cayenne and Bentley Bentayga, an indicator that its the right size for a do everything all-wheel drive vehicle. Q8 serves up plenty of in-car technology on its 12.3-inch virtual cockpit digital instrument cluster, its touchscreens and has options for adaptive cruise control and assisted driving. It's what we'd describe as an all-road solid choice.
