Interior parts like the seats are borrowed from other Audi models like the A8, A7 and A6 - keeping it in the family and close-knit.

If you're wondering about performance and speed, the Q8 is powered by a V6 diesel engine but a petrol version will be available soon.

All models will also feature 48V mild hybrid systems to improve fuel economy but for those not too interested in fuel economy and wanting to go fast, the range is also likely to feature an SQ8 model soon enough.
