Prices have been announced for the new flagship SUV in the Audi range, the new 2019 Q8 Type 8M.

Sitting above the Q7 in the model hierarchy, the newcomer is offered in a choice of S line and Vorsprung trim levels, with the former priced at £65,040, and the latter at £83,040. Both are powered by the new 50 TDI quattro powertrain that encompasses a 282bhp 3.0-litre V6 TDI unit with 48-volt mild hybrid technology, and is mated to an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Standard equipment includes 21-inch alloy wheels, adaptive air sport suspension, high-definition matrix LED headlights, a 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit, 10.1-inch upper screen, 8.6-inch lower controls and wireless smartphone charging. Vorsprung trim ups the game even further with 22-inch alloy wheels, all-wheel steering, a Titanium Black styling pack, panoramic glass sunroof, electric closing doors, 360-degree camera system and a Bang & Olufsen uprated audio system. The 2019 Audi 8M Q8 is available to order now from Audi dealers, with the first cars set to arrive in the country during September.
