Audi has confirmed it will kick off 2017 with the unveiling of a near to production ready concept of its upcoming Q8 flagship SUV at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
 
Depicted here in an official sketch, the highly detailed concept foreshadows a spacious new Range Rover Sport rival that is planned to go on sale before the end of next year sporting its own distinctive styling and a price tag that will position it above the second-generation Q7.  
 
Audi chairman Rupert Stadler describes the Q8 as the German car maker's "flagship SUV" saying it will sit alongside the A8 at the top of its line-up.

"I could imagine an executive being driven to work every day in their A8 and then spending the weekend driving themselves in their Q8," he said. "The Q8 will have global appeal in all of the major markets - Europe, China, America, Russia and more - and so we are very excited about it."

The Q8 is one of several new SUV models currently under development at Audi and scheduled for launch before the end of the decade. It joins the recently introduced second-generation Q7, all-new Q2, second-generation Q5, a successor model to today's first-generation Q3, a new Q4 and the all-electric Q6 e-tron, which has already been previewed by the Audi e-tron quattro concept at the 2015 Frankfurt motor show.
