Effortless family runs from Mougins to the coast

The 2022 Audi Q8 55 TFSI sits in the fleet as the practical answer for anyone who needs presence and space without stepping into supercar territory. Five seats, a proper boot for a week's luggage or golf bags, and enough cabin width that four adults arrive without complaint after the drive in from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport or a transfer down from Mougins. It reads as an SUV built for occasions where comfort matters more than a 0-100 time — a business trip along the A8 to Monaco, a pickup at Cannes station for a family arriving by TGV, or simply getting across town to a dinner on Boulevard de la République without wrestling a wide sports SUV through Le Suquet's narrow lanes, where this car's dimensions still behave sensibly. Quattro all-wheel drive and the usual Audi driver assistance suite make it an easy car to hand over cold, at a hotel forecourt on La Croisette or on the apron at Mandelieu, and an easy car to drive straight into unfamiliar roads toward Grasse or back along the coast. There is one Q8 55 TFSI in the current listing, available from €250 a day — a single, well-specified example rather than a menu of trims, which keeps the booking conversation short: confirm dates, confirm the handover point, and the car is ready. For a corporate host moving between meetings, or a family based inland who wants one vehicle to cover airport runs, beach days, and an evening at a restaurant near the Palais des Festivals, it does the job without asking anything extra of the driver.
