Auto123 gets in a first drive of the 2024 Audi Q8, a model that receives a discreet redesign as it nears the end of its road.
Cape Town, South Africa - Usually after five years on the market, a model is entitled to a new generation. In the case of the Q8, Audi has applied a more modest, discreet redesign for 2024. The reason is simple: the Q8 name has just been assigned to the e-tron model in line with the brand’s new nomenclature, which assigns an even number to all electric SUVs. Gasoline-powered models, like the Q3, Q5 and Q7, are assigned an odd number.
Drivers can now select up to four light signatures, front and rear, via the MMI interface. Audi also offers four new decorative elements in the cabin. The voice control system, while not yet outdated, is not as modern as more recent rivals such as Mercedes' MBUX, and does not respond as well. Audi will have to think about coming up with a new generation capable of handling a greater number of operations.
The SQ8 comes with 22-inch wheels as standard and 23-inch wheels as an option. The list of options is also more exhaustive, with massaging seats for $2,450, Dynamic Plus package for $7,200, Bang & Olufson audio system for $5,500, night vision for $2,500 and even a more expressive exhaust for $1,350.
