What is the ground clearance of the Audi Q8?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Audi Q8 ranges between 172 to 218 millimeters. The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system in a vehicle, which supports and mounts the engine and its various components and assemblies. The Audi Q8 is a mid-to-large-sized SUV. Taking the 2021 Audi Q8 Luxury Elegance model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4986 millimeters, width 1995 millimeters, height 1693 millimeters, with a wheelbase of 2998 millimeters and a fuel tank capacity of 85 liters. The 2021 Audi Q8 Luxury Elegance model is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, with a maximum torque speed range of 1600 to 4500 revolutions per minute and a maximum power speed range of 5000 to 6000 revolutions per minute, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Audi Q8 for a while now, and its ground clearance is typically around 220 millimeters, but this is adjustable. Equipped with an air suspension system, it can automatically adjust: Comfort mode maintains 220 millimeters, Sport mode lowers it to 200 millimeters at high speeds to reduce wind resistance, and Off-road mode raises it to 254 millimeters for better hill climbing. I often use it in the city, where the system automatically lowers slightly when entering underground parking to avoid scraping the undercarriage; in rainy conditions with waterlogged roads, the height is sufficient for safe passage. It's recommended to regularly maintain the suspension, checking the airbags every two years to prevent leaks. The overall design is intelligent, balancing daily convenience with occasional off-road fun, providing a smooth and comfortable ride. Fuel consumption is also not too high, making it economical and practical.
