Glimpses of the marque's 2019 Q8 SUV have already circulated in sketch form, in near total darkness, as well as on the street and in Nürburgring wearing black and white camouflage. And now, Audi has finally unveiled it in full with images taken at an official reveal that took place in Shenzhen, China
It wouldn't have been a surprise if this top SUV in the Audi lineup had turned out to be a bigger, more spacious and more luxurious version of the Q7 to rival the likes of the Range Rover and Cadillac Escalade, but the Q8 that was seen is a much more rakish and sleeker model than that. This is a considerably sharper and sportier design than the Q7 and that puts it up against rivals such as the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé instead.
"...coupé-like SUVs are one of
the newest and fastest-growing areas
of the SUV landscape at the moment."
Global demand for SUVs of all types is huge at the moment, and is still growing at an incredible rate. It's no surprise then that manufacturers are continually looking to expand their SUV ranges, and coupé-like SUVs are one of the newest and fastest-growing areas of the SUV landscape at the moment.
