The new Audi Q8 which was shown at both the Geneva and Frankfurt motorshows is set to be released for sale in 2018. The Q8 is Audi's new SUV flagship and competes against the Range rover. 

The drivetrain will include e-tron plug in hybrid which will be connected to a 3.0tfsi engine and fitted with Quattro. This engine will do 155mph and hit 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. Emissions was 53g/km of CO2. In fully electric mode the range is 37 miles and the battery will take 2 and half hours to charge from empty.
