If you\u2019re in the market for a luxurious SUV that\u2019s not only stylish, but also suitable for carrying precious four-legged cargo, you’ve no doubt considered a Land Rover Discovery, a Range Rover or even a BMW X5. They\u2019re all great options, but the latest and greatest in Audi\u2019s Q-line is a serious contender for one of the best dog friendly cars. Read on to find out why.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Launched in 2006, the Q-line has been immensely popular among those looking for a mix of luxury, style and utility. Audi\u2019s answer to the BMW X6 and Mercedes GLE, is a great all-round utility vehicle. The Q8 is also brimming with luxurious and useful features.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why is the Audi Q8 one of the best dog friendly cars? <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s not clear if Audi specifically had dog friendly cars in mind when designing the Q8. But it’s certainly possible that they did as they\u2019ve included many dog friendly features that’ll get your dog\u2019s tail wagging. The first is the option to lower the boot height by 6.5cm when the car is parked using the car\u2019s air suspension. This provides easy access for your dog, especially useful as they grow older.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Additionally, the Q8 comes with a generous 605-litre boot space, slightly less than the Q7, but that can be forgiven in favour of the car\u2019s gorgeous sloping roofline. For most dogs this is perfectly sufficient, nevertheless if you need that extra space, a Travall Guard for Audi Q8<\/a> is a great solution. For roughly half the cost of dealership options, this precision made dog guard also works as a luggage barrier and allows you to stack items higher against the rear seats without compromising on security.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lastly, as is the case with most modern Audis, the refinement is second to none. Even with those 21-inch alloys as standard, the road noise in the cabin is minimal. This makes it a great place for your canine passengers to relax as you focus on the road.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
