Audi’s range-topping crossover is going under the knife and we’re getting our first look at the 2024 RS Q8.
Caught undergoing testing on the Nürburgring, the facelifted crossover sports a familiar design but adopts a new front bumper with a larger intake. The grille has also been updated as it features a lightly revised mesh pattern.
Additional changes are limited, but the model will likely be outfitted with Audi’s new logo. We can also expect updated headlights with new graphics.

The changes are less noticeable out back, but it appears the RS Q8 will have a new rear bumper with a more pronounced diffuser. The model also wears new taillights and a familiar dual exhaust system.
Spy photographers haven’t gotten a good look inside, but we can expect a handful of relatively minor updates. Nothing is official, but we wouldn’t be surprised to find an upgraded infotainment system with access to an app store where owners can download everything from Spotify to TikTok.
Under the hood, we can expect a familiar twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine. It remains unclear if there will be any performance modifications, but it currently develops 592 hp (441 kW / 600 PS) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. This enables the crossover to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.8 seconds, before hitting a limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
