Q8 50 TDi – Last week I drove one of my favourite large SUVs, the Audi Q8 50 TDi quattro S-Line. That’s a mouthful.

Regular listeners will know I like large SUVs. The Audi is spacious, comfortable, and engaging.

It’s powered by a 3 litre, six-cylinder, 48-volt, mild hybrid turbo diesel engine. This provides 210 kilowatts of power and 600 newton metres of torque. This drives all four wheels through the brilliant Audi quattro system and an eight speed tiptronic transmission.

What all that means is that the Q8 has a combination of enough performance to keep drivers happy while having excellent economy. Its smooth and fun to drive.

The S-Line comes with

panoramic glass roof,
Matrix LED headlights,
Wireless smart phone connectivity and charging tray.
Automatic tailgate with motion sensor, great for when you have your hands full, and
Heated front seats – amongst a lengthy list of standard features.

The Q8 has two isofix and top tether points for baby seats and a large boot to accommodate all the necessary baby gear. It’s an ideal family SUV.

Around town it feels smaller than it actually is and it’s easy to navigate tight suburban car parks. On a trip you arrive feeling fresh and relaxed.

The Q8 I drove is normally priced at $143,415 dollars, but it also had a couple of option packs that took the price to $157,915 dollars plus the usual costs. Considering the extensive list of features that’s excellent value.
