The flagship is getting ready for a planned mid-life restyle. The premiere of the refreshed German brand crossover will take place early next month.
Audi introduced the Q8 sports crossover in the summer of 2018. Now the model, which takes the place of the brand's flagship SUV, has come to a planned update. Disguised prototypes of the future novelty were spotted by photo spies during tests at the beginning of this year, and now the project is at its final stage. The presentation of the refreshed Audi Q8 will take place on September 5 as part of the IAA exhibition in Munich.

The teaser campaign has just started: the German manufacturer has published the first image of the updated «8th». It captures the stern and the left side of the crossover. It is expected that the model will have a minimum of external changes: the look of the Audi Q8 will be refreshed literally due to a few modified details. >
It is known that the crossover will be retouched with optics: Audi noted that the headlights and taillights of the Q8 will have “new design and functionality.” Judging by the teaser, the shape of the lamps will remain approximately the same, and they will also be interconnected by a luminous strip across the entire width of the tailgate. But they will have a different pattern — at the bottom, instead of hatching, they drew a triple “T” on each side. >
The company also promised to give future owners of the Audi Q8 «more options for individualization.» Probably, we are talking about the fact that the palette of body colors will be replenished with new shades; the manufacturer can also diversify the design of the rims, as well as expand the number of interior trim options and upholstery combinations.

Earlier, the designer of Kolesa.ru suggested how the refreshed “ku eighth” might look like. Judging by the render, the flagship crossover may get a new grille, while it is assumed that its shape will remain the same, and the pattern will be U-shaped elements. The image shows that the shape of the head optics will also not change, however, it can be given a new «stuffing» with the original graphics of LED running lights. It is possible that the front bumper will be updated with triangular air ducts along the edges.

Recall that the Audi Q8 is based on the MLB modular platform, which is based, among other things, on the Volkswagen Touareg, Porsche Cayenne and Lamborghini Urus. The crossover has a double-lever suspension in front, a multi-link in the back. There is no official information about whether the refreshed SUV will receive new things in the technical part. Most likely, the updated “ku eighth” will have the same engine range as the current version. The crossover lineup includes petrol and diesel versions, as well as a TFSI e plug-in hybrid, which is based on a V6 engine. jpg» />
The next-generation Audi Q8 is expected to be the company's last ICE vehicle. According to the plan, it should debut in 2026. After that, the German brand, which is part of the Volkswagen concern, intends to develop only electric trains.
