Audi Q8 45 TDI from Korea: a large diesel SUV with quattro
A large diesel Audi Q8 from Korea: how the 45 TDI compares with other versions and why all-wheel drive alone does not settle the choice of trim.

The Audi Q8 45 TDI combines diesel with quattro all-wheel drive and an eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission. For the 2021 Korean version, this is a 231 hp and 600 Nm engine – an understandable starting point for those considering Audi’s large diesel crossover.
What to choose within the range
The 45 TDI is the less powerful of the two diesel versions of the Q8 on the Korean market of that period. They have an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive in common, so the difference should be looked for in the engine and equipment. The name quattro alone does not solve this choice: you need to compare specific versions and configurations.
Car price 2021
In the example from January 16, 2025, a Q8 45 TDI from South Korea with a mileage of 57,000 km cost 7,060,000 rubles to Vladivostok. This is the cost of a particular car on that date; for the next purchase, a new calculation is needed.
