According to Autocar,
Audi is very much interested in
building a new SUV that’s bigger
than the Q7. We aren’t too sure if
the car is actually bigger, or is just pitched
higher than the Q7, but really the point is that there is another big SUV being
touted at Ingolstadt. The car may be called the Q8.
Technical head Wolfgang
Dürheimer is quoted as saying that “I pushed for the Bentley SUV and I'm pushing for Audi to make something in this
segment also. I could see Bentley and Audi both making SUVs, and Lamborghini
also; in my job I'm trying to encourage the Lamborghini SUV project to progress.” Audi “owns” Lamborghini within the Volkswagen Group.
He is said to have said that SUVs are a top priority for
Audi, probably because in China, the
company’s fastest-growing region,
SUVs are going like hot soup at a homeless
kitchen. Another SUV that’s a possibility is a Q2, which of course would be
smaller than the Q3. The Q2 would really be an indirect competitor of the MINI Countryman.
