Audi India has unveiled the Audi Q8 Limited Edition in India, priced at an ex-showroom rate of Rs 1.18 crore. This exclusive variant boasts limited availability and offers a choice of three striking paint options: Mythos Black, Glacier White, and Daytona Grey.

Distinguishing itself from the standard Q8, the Audi Q8 Limited Edition introduces a range of features. It will be offered in three colours – Mythos Black, Glacier White, and Daytona Grey, along with the S-Line and Black Styling exterior packages, which include a sleek blacked-out grille, wing mirrors, and roof rails. Notably, the vehicle comes equipped with 21-inch alloy wheels (matching those of the regular Q8), a premium Bang and Olufsen sound system, and a new four-zone climate control system as standard offerings.

Inside, the Audi Q8 Limited Edition enhances the driving experience with 'Aero-acoustics' for improved sound insulation. The driver-centric cockpit boasts luxurious amenities such as four-zone air conditioning with personalised cooling options, an Audi Phone Box Light with Wireless Charging, and a new B&O Premium Sound System delivering immersive 3D audio. Safety remains paramount, with features including Audi Pre-Sense basic, eight airbags, Audi Park Assist with Parking Aid Plus, a rearview camera, and an Electronic Stabilisation Programme all included.

Mr. Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, expressed, “The Audi Q8 is the most versatile SUV in our product portfolio. We are happy to begin the festive season with the launch of a limited edition Audi Q8 for customers who are looking for a car that is a blend of comfort, elegance, and a technology-rich experience.”

Under the hood, the limited edition model inherits the same BS6-compliant 3.0-litre TFSI petrol engine found in the standard Q8, generating a formidable 335bhp and 500Nm of peak torque. This engine is seamlessly paired with a 48V mild hybrid system and an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The SUV boasts an impressive top speed of 250 kmph and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 5.9 seconds, the rapid acceleration benefiting from a permanent all-wheel-drive system.
