The Audi Q8 is offered in two variant specs in India. The Q8 55 TFSI and the RS Q8 Performance are priced at Rs 1.43 crore and Rs 2.50 crore (ex-showroom) respectively. Both get signature features like the panoramic sunroof, four-zone climate control, adaptive air suspension, HD Matrix LED headlights, Bang & Olufsen sound system options, and Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus, but they differ widely in performance and exclusivity. The Q8 55 TFSI gets a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 petrol engine (340 hp, 500 Nm) paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system, and comes equipped with features like 20-inch alloys, elegant S line styling, power-adjustable front seats with memory, MMI Navigation Plus with touch response, wireless phone charger, Audi phone box, frameless auto-dimming IRVM, and a more comfort-focused suspension setup. The RS Q8 Performance, meanwhile, packs a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine (640 hp, 850 Nm) and gets performance-focused equipment like 23-inch RS-specific alloys, RS adaptive air suspension with electromechanical active roll stabilization, RS ceramic brakes, RS sport seats in Valcona leather with massage and ventilation, RS-specific ambient lighting and drive modes (RS1/RS2), rear-wheel steering, RS exhaust system with black oval tailpipes, and sharper exterior detailing including RS bumpers, black styling packages, and laser light with dynamic animations.
