Did you know that the 2021 Audi Q8 can haul loads all over Parker, Castle Rock, and Denver, Colorado? The towing ability opens up the possibilities of affixing a trailer to your SUV or toting along your boat for a day trip to the Horsetooth Reservoir. This dealmaker can add to this car's versatility by blending luxury and utility into one multitasking automobile. That's why Audi Denver is taking a closer look at the Audi Q8's towing capacity, so you can have a better idea of what it's capable of.

Strong Performance

From the standard 3.0L 55 TFSI® V6 engine, you can accomplish a whole lot of towing with its 335 horsepower balanced with 369 lb-ft of torque. You can expect an EPA-estimated 17 MPG City/21 MPG Highway from your vehicle.¹ To ensure you have enough fuel, the available head-up display will project your speed, gas mileage, and directions right on the windshield.With the Audi drive select, you can approach the road with a handful of driving modes like efficiency, comfort, auto, dynamic, and individual. Pair this with the 8-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission, and you can customize your ride even more.  The patented quattro® all-wheel drive holds onto the road, no matter the condition, so you and your trailer arrive safely at your destination.

For continued, non-stop performance, you can keep an eye on your current tire inflation with the Tire-pressure monitoring system. If a tire seems low, your SUV will alert you to that fact.

Audi Q8 Towing Capacity

At its maximum towing capacity, you can tow up to 7,700 pounds, which means you can purchase the camper you've been eying. If you're interested in towing capabilities, just add the Towing Package. It contains a tow hitch receiver and a towing seven pin connector, which can be easily installed.

Driver-Assist and Safety Technology

When you want to tow a trailer or simply manage the road at hand, driver-assist technology provides protection for you and your car and ways to skirt around the pitfalls. For instance, with Audi pre sense® basic, the Electronic Stabilization Control senses when you're about to skid and can put safety measures in place like shutting the sunroof or pretensioning the front seat belts.The Audi active lane assist with emergency assist helps you and your trailer stay in your lane with specific lane markings. It even supplies you with extra steering guidance if necessary. If you don't actively steer yourself, it pops in with steering action of its own.  

You can watch this all unfold with the multi-angled, 360-degree view with the available Top view camera system. It helps you when you're attempting to move your SUV and trailer and looks out for the back end. If you cannot clearly see one spot that appears a little challenging, just zoom in for a closer look.
