The new headlights, which are HD Matrix LED units with laser help for the high beam, are the biggest modification to the facelift. It also has configurable light signatures. The air intakes in the bumper have also been modified and the grille has undergone minor changes with new octagonal apertures and “L” shaped inserts.
The interiors are nearly identical to the previous vehicle, with just changed stitching on the upholstery and new inside colour options. It will continue to have Audi’s twin MMI touchscreens, four-zone temperature control, a head-up display, heated, ventilated and massaging seats, as well as a Bang & Olufsen audio system.
Furthermore, the Q8 facelift includes built-in third-party music applications like Spotify and Amazon Music in addition to an expanded app store. There have also been changes made to the driver assistance systems.
The India-spec Q8 facelift keeps the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol engine with a 48V mild-hybrid system, which produces 340hp and 500Nm of torque. The engine comes standard with an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels.
