A pre-owned Audi Q8 is a great choice if you want a vehicle that is luxurious, comfortable, and dynamic, but also safe, and competent on slippery winter roads. Here’s why.
Standard Quattro AWD
Every pre-owned Audi Q8 comes standard with the advanced Quattro all-wheel drive system that has made Audi famous in rally racing for many decades. This system increases performance on dry pavement and provides a high level of traction and stability on snow and ice. Since Quattro is a permanent system, all four wheels constantly receive some of the engine’s power, with more or less of it being sent to the wheels with the highest amount of grip. This means that there is no delay for the rear axle to engage, as in most part-time AWD systems, thus providing more stability when hitting patches of ice and snow. The Quattro system found in the Q8 also gives you more confidence on the road since it makes the vehicle capable of going where others risk getting stuck, such as in deep snow or over slippery hills.
Lots of comfort features
A pre-owned Audi Q8 is also a great choice for winter due to its numerous comfort features that keep you and your passengers comfortable no matter the outside temperature. For example, every Q8 comes standard with heated front and rear seats in order to help everyone on board warm up quickly when entering the vehicle on a cold day. In addition, the standard four-zone automatic climate control system lets each of the outboard passengers, front, and rear, choose the air temperature that best suits their preferences, irrespective of the other occupant’s settings.
Advanced safety features
Driving in winter is riskier than driving in summer, even with a vehicle that is well-equipped to handle every situation. This is why the numerous advanced safety features of the Audi Q8 make it a good pre-owned choice for winter. Technologies such as PreSafe front and rear make sure that everyone on board is protected as effectively as possible in case of a collision by activating the seatbelt pre-tensioners, moving the front seat backs into a more suitable position, and closing the windows as soon as it detects the risk of an accident.
