Audi Q8- New king of crossovers

The madness with crossovers has continued and this time Audi is in the main role. Germans have announced new crossover under the name Audi Q8. Now, I know that crossovers are a thing now but I don't see a point of producing so many of them. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of them but I understand why people go nuts about them. They combine all the thing people need from car. They are spacious, they have huge trunk in which you can carry a lot of baby diapers and stuff from market, you can go offroading with them (although noone hasn't ever went offroading with crossovers). But the main problem, for me atleast, is crossovers took huge part of car market. Literally every third or fourth car on the planet is crossover. We are slowly but surely losing cars with other body styles. And I don't know how to feel about that. 

Anyways, lets see what the new king of crossovers offers to us and will it reduce our mourning for cars such as Evo, Supra, Integra etc.


Q8 is basically choped version of Q7. It's slightly shorter than Q7 and its wheelbase is just 0,762 cm shorter than Q7's. Its overall lenght is 502,92 cm and it's height is 170,68 cm. These numbers basically means that it's 4,06 cm shorter and 3,30 cm lower than Q7. 

God, these numbers can be so boring. But I had to mention them so you don't get to situation in which you are talking with an owner of Audi Q7 and you can't explain them why is the Q8 new king of crossovers.


Lets talk about something much more interesting. About the POWAAAAHH under the hood. The king is powered by 3.0 l turbocharged V6 engine that develops 333 HP  and 699 Nm of torque and with another motor that is integrated within the eight-speed automatic transmission that develops 134 HP. So, that gives us total of 467 HP. Not bad. It might be the only thing that I like about this car.

Q8 launches itself 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds and it will go up to 250 km/h. The electric engine is good for 59 km of range and it will be fully charged in about two hours.

Overall, Audi made pretty damn good car but do we seriously need another crossover?
