Which Audi model is the flagship of the brand's SUV line?

The flagship of Audi’s SUV line is the Audi Q8.

Audi launched the Q8 in 2018 as a premium, coupe-styled SUV positioned at the top of its conventional Q-series range. It shares the Volkswagen Group MLB Evo platform with the Audi Q7, but its sloping roof gives it a sportier profile and reduces cargo practicality.

The Q8 is slightly shorter and lower than the Q7 while being slightly wider. Unlike the Q7, it is not offered with a third-row seat, emphasizing style and luxury over maximum passenger capacity. Its interior introduced Audi’s knob-less MMI arrangement with multiple digital displays.

The Q8 name can cause confusion because Audi also sells the fully electric Q8 e-tron, formerly called the e-tron. The Q8 is a combustion and plug-in-hybrid SUV family, while the Q8 e-tron is a separate battery-electric model. Audi also offers the high-performance SQ8 and RS Q8 derivatives.
