2022 Audi Q8 Interior and Cargo

You're not going to be left wanting here. The 2022 Q8 offers a generous amount of trunk and overall cargo space for large families and adventurous couples. Open up the tailgate, and you'll be greeted by a spacious 30.5 cubic feet of space, which is more than enough for a week's worth of groceries for a family of four. If more space is required, then the sliding, split-folding 40/20/40 rear seats can be dropped. This means 60.7 cubic feet of space. The Porsche Cayenne Coupe, on the other hand, can only manage 22 cubic feet with the seats upright, and 54.3 cubic feet when folded. That makes the Q8 highly competitive in this category.

Small items are stored in the slim door pockets, cramped glove box, or narrow nook below the center armrest. Cupholders are provided for both front- and rear-seat occupants.

The specs on the Q8 read like a real luxury car. All models are equipped with a power panoramic sunroof, leather seating surfaces, heated eight-way power-adjustable front seats, as well as safety systems such as Audi pre sense front, front/rear parking sensors, a digital driver's display, adaptive damping, Audi pre sense basic, and high-beam assist. The mid-range Premium Plus adds four-zone automatic climate control (up from three zones in the base model), contour/ambient LED interior lighting, ventilated front seats, and wireless charging. Prestige models introduce an upper dashboard, armrests, and center console trimmed in leather, as well as power rear sunshades, adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist, a head-up display, and traffic sign recognition.

Infotainment systems play a massive role in the overall user experience of any new vehicle, so it should come as good news that the MMI Navigation plus system with MMI touch response inside the 2022 Audi Q8 is a great one. The dashboard is dominated by a top 10.1-inch touchscreen and another smaller screen below for climate controls. This setup looks clean and functions just as well, but can become a distraction whilst driving. Each Q8 SUV comes with Audi connect with online services, SiriusXM radio with a 90-day trial subscription, Bluetooth streaming, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, an Audi smartphone interface, front/rear USB ports, navigation, Audi Connect Prime & Plus. While the Premium comes with Audi's standard sound system, the Premium Plus and Prestige models are fitted with a Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system that features 17 speakers and a subwoofer, as well as a 16-channel amplifier with 730 watts of power. This system sounds excellent when bumping Juicy by Doja Cat. If you're after an even better sound experience, Audi offers a 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen system for $5,000, but this option is limited to the Prestige.
