For many, the Audi Q8 is a big and majestic sports utility vehicle. But it is more than that— it represents the future of the German automaker and the poster child for the SUVs the brand will launch in time to come, as Generation T honouree Tan Szue Hann finds out
The Audi Q8 is the newest member of the marque’s Q family, its sports utility vehicle (SUV) range. As the flagship of the brand’s SUV line-up, it boasts a strong and impressive presence on the roads, especially when it measures 4.99m long, 2.19m wide and 1.71m tall.
When Generation T 2017 honouree Tan Szue Hann, a motoring enthusiast himself, first saw the SUV in the flesh, he was pleasantly surprised that a car of such massive dimensions is “sleek, muscular and rather poised”.
“It certainly looks like a high-tech car, with a couple of tricks up its sleeve,” said the managing director of upcycling firm Miniwiz Singapore. “The crossover coupe form belies its sheer size. It’s a big car, but its proportions make it seem otherwise. And its stance makes it look like it’s sure-footed and ready to go, in that minimum fuss Audi manner.”
The trained architect spent a morning cruising around central Singapore in the Audi Q8 and he shares with us his thoughts on the design and performance of the marque’s flagship SUV.
From a design perspective, what strikes you most about the car?
