2024 Audi Q8 Facelift Exterior Design
As part of the update for this year, the Audi Q8 facelift features a new octagonal single frame grille. The standard Q8 features a satin chrome grille surrounds, outside rearview mirror (ORVM) covers, window line garnish and alloy wheels. The SQ8, on the other hand, gets a gloss black treatment for a more sportier look. The SQ8 also features a mesh pattern for the grille compared to the vertical slats on the standard Q8 facelift.
The LED headlights now offer a new X-shaped LED DRL pattern along with Audi’s HD Matrix LED lighting setup. The connected tail lamps now feature OLED lighting elements that Audi claim are clearer than ever before. Other changes include redesigned front and rear bumpers and a new design for the 21-inch alloy wheels.
