Audi Q8 Performance Overview

Audi’s Q8 enters the record here as a full-size, coupe-roof luxury SUV defined by turbocharged gasoline V6 performance rather than a long multi-generation arc. Across 4 verified tests spanning 2019 to 2019, every recorded example belongs to the first-generation 4MN Q8, all in Prestige S-Line Quattro form. In this opening production year, the 335-hp turbocharged setup established the model’s baseline with 0-60 results ranging from 5.9 seconds to 5.3 seconds, while quarter-mile times ran from 14.3 seconds at 97 mph to 14.0 seconds at 99 mph.

Because the available data covers only the launch year, the Q8’s performance story is concentrated in its initial 4MN phase. The first benchmark came from the 2019 Prestige S-Line Quattro at 5.3 seconds to 60 mph, which also stands as the quickest current-generation result in this dataset. Other independently tested runs for the same trim landed at 5.6 and 5.8 seconds, reinforcing an average 0-60 of 5.65 seconds and an average quarter-mile of 14.15 seconds at 98.2 mph. As it stands today within the recorded sample, the Q8 remains represented solely by this gasoline-powered 4MN launch configuration, with no hybrid or electric variants yet appearing in the verified test set.
