It has already been 5 years since the Audi Q8 was launched, on the occasion of the 2018 Paris Motor Show. It is therefore time for the big SUV coupe with the four rings to receive a mid-career restyling, this time at Munich fair 2023.

L’Audi Q8 restyled has just made its debut with the German public, and you guessed it: as usual at Audi, only a trained eye will be able to recognize the novelties of this subtle facelift!

Restyled Audi Q8: an unprecedented light signature

The main new features of this restyled Audi Q8 are on the front face : there is a discreetly redesigned shield, with a more discreet lower skirt, but more assertive side air scoops. The Singleframe grille has a thick aluminum-style strip, or painted black on these official photos, which extends towards the headlights. In the center, we find the new brand, with its 2D rings.

We especially recognize the restyled Audi Q8 thanks to its Matrix LED headlights, which carry a new light signature more futuristic, complemented by optional OLED rear lights. Both the front and rear optics can be personalized thanks to four different light signatureswith patterns that can be interchanged at will via the car’s touch screen.

At the rear, the shield has also been discreetly redesigned, while the design of the exhaust pipes has also been revised.

New customization possibilities

Audi has also reviewed the customization possibilities of its SUV coupe, with gray stitching on the seats, four decorative inserts, or even three new body colors (Golden Sakhir, Ascari Blue and Chili Red), not to mention four new alloy wheels. 21 to 23 inches.
