Power and Performance
The Audi Q8 boasts a range of powerful engine options. With power outputs ranging from 231 HP to a staggering 640 HP, the Q8 provides diverse choices—including Diesel MHEV, Plug-in Hybrid, Petrol MHEV, and classic Petrol engines—all coupled with an automatic gearbox. Torque figures stretch from 500 Nm to an impressive 850 Nm, promising robust acceleration. Its top speed maxes out at 250 km/h with 0-100 km/h times starting from just 3.6 seconds.
On the other hand, the VW Touareg offers similarly enticing performance but with fewer engine variances. The power spectrum ranges from 231 HP to 462 HP, delivered through both diesel and petrol engines, alongside a plug-in hybrid option. Torque peaks at 700 Nm, allowing for a top speed of 250 km/h. The Touareg's 0-100 km/h sprint is reachable in 5.1 seconds, which is competitive but falls slightly behind the Q8's best times.
