Audi Q8 vs Range Rover Velar


The #Audi #Q8 exudes sporty dynamics and upscale prestige like no other SUV from the brand with the four rings. 4.99 meters (16.4 ft) long, 2.00 meters (6.6 ft) wide and 1.71 meters (5.6 ft) tall, the SUV coupé is wider, shorter and lower than its Q7 sister model. With a wheelbase of nearly 3.00 meters (9.8 ft), it offers a spacious interior that beats that of its direct competitors in most relevant dimensions, including interior length and headroom. The three-seat system in the rear can be slid forward and backward as desired. With the seat backrests folded down, the luggage compartment under the power rear hatch holds up to 1,755 liters (62.0 cu ft).

The SUV coupé will launch in Europe as the Q8 50 TDI (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 6.8 - 6.6 [34.6 - 35.6 US mpg]*; combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 179 - 172 [288.1 - 276.8 g/mi]*). The powerful 3.0 TDI produces 210 kW (286 hp) and develops 600 Nm (442.5 lb-ft) of torque. The Audi Q8 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 6.3 seconds on its way to a top speed of 245 km/h (152.2 mph). A fast and smooth-shifting, eight-speed tiptronic transfers the power to the quattro drivetrain. Two further engine versions will follow at the beginning of next year.

4,986 millimeters (16.4 ft) long, 1,995 millimeters (6.5 ft) wide and 1,705 (5.6 ft) millimeters high - these dimensions describe the new Audi Q8, which exudes sportiness and prestige like no other SUV from the brand with the four rings. With its coupé-style roof line and the frameless doors, it is 38 millimeters (1.5 in) lower than its Q7 sister model. It is 66 millimeters (2.6 in) shorter, but has become 27 millimeters (1.1 in) wider. The distinctive front end, the short rear overhang, the high ground clearance of up to 254 millimeters (10.0 in) with the adaptive air suspension and the hefty 22-inch wheels with a diameter of 795 millimeters (31.3 in) paint a picture of powerful dynamics.

With a wheelbase of 2,995 millimeters (9.8 ft), the Audi Q8 offers ample space for five people. It is more spacious than the competition with respect to interior length, front and rear elbow and headroom, and rear legroom. The standard three-seat system in the rear can be slid longitudinally by ten centimeters (3.9 in). Large storage compartments and pockets, particularly in the doors, prepare the Audi Q8 for long trips. All together they have a capacity of more than 14 liters (0.5 cu ft).

The luggage compartment of the SUV coupe holds 605 liters (21.4 cu ft) as standard, which increases to 1,755 liters (62.0 cu ft) with the rear backrests folded down. Two golf bags can easily fit in crosswise. A power rear hatch is standard; foot-activated gesture control is available as an option. The electric luggage compartment cover is another convenience option. Guided on rails, it automatically retracts when the tailgate is opened and is extended again upon closing.


The Land Rover #RangeRover #Velar brings a new dimension of glamour, modernity and elegance to the Range Rover family. Designed to fill the white space between Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport, Velar offers levels of luxury, refinement and all-terrain capability never before seen in the mid-size SUV segment. This is a new type of Range Rover for a new type of customer.

Velar features a sophisticated all-wheel drive system, four-corner air suspension, (available on 300PS Diesel and 380PS Petrol engines) class-leading ground clearance of up to 251mm (213mm with coil springs), class-leading wading depth of up to 650mm (600mm with coil springs) and Land Rover's unmatched suite of traction technologies including Terrain Response 2 (optional) and All Terrain Progress Control (optional). Velar - like all Range Rovers - offers world-class all-terrain capability.

Clean, refined four-cylinder Ingenium diesels are offered in 180PS and 240PS variants, noted for their low 142g/km CO2 emissions and high 500Nm torque output respectively. These engines are joined by the new, highly-advanced four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine which delivers 250PS and enables acceleration from 0-100km/h in just 6.7 seconds (0-60mph in 6.4 seconds). An even more powerful, 300PS version of this engine will join the Velar range later in 2017.

The V6 diesel combines an extraordinary 700Nm of torque for effortless acceleration and off-road capability with CO2 emissions of only 167g/km. The 380PS supercharged V6 petrol engine combines exhilarating performance with a unique soundtrack and enables Velar to reach 0-60mph in only 5.3 seconds (100km/h in 5.7 seconds) before reaching an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph (250km/h).
