Audi Q8
Once thought to be gone, the Q8 (335-horsepower 3.0-liter turbo V6) and SQ8 (500-horsepower 4.0-liter double-turbo V8) remain in the range in 2024 alongside the RS Q8 (4.0-liter V8 591 horsepower mild hybrid turbocharger). Better yet, Audi offers them a small upgrade: new LED matrix headlights, new rims, redesigned front spoiler and rear diffuser, new colors, new interior trim and updated infotainment system.
