I just sold my Audi Q8 for the SQ8 and I absolutely love the SQ8. It just feels different and the sound that it makes when I turn it on and when I accelerate is music to my ears.

Can't believe my favorite Audi is an SUV. Used to be the RS7, but the 2nd gen just doesn't do it for me. This does. They nailed it.

SQ8 is a decent value. $20k over Q8 gets you over 40% increase in HP and 50% torque, plus 4wheel steering and air suspension. RSQ8 is another $20k with about 20% increase over SQ8.

I think the SQ8 is one of Audi's best SUVs. I don't think you even need the RS Q8 with that 591 HP, because 500 HP is plenty for this beast of a vehicle. If you want a Lamborghini Urus, a Bentley Bentayga, or a Porsche Cayenne for less money, this SQ8 is the way to go, since they're all based on the same platform (typical VW Group)

Beautiful car. I wanted to purchase the q7 but was too something, but this sq8 is perfect. Exactly what my husband and I are looking for. V-8 too. Thank you Audi.

I was able to test drive an Audi RSQ8 and the Lambo Urus back to back on the same day on the same roads. There is definitely a difference in how they drive. The Urus is a total different animal. People that say they are the same need to drive them back to back. I have a SQ8 because it’s a good balance for me because I have other fun cars to drive but I would love to upgrade to a Urus someday.

Your camera shows so clear and pretty, enjoy the tour!!

My concern with Audi- and many others- is how often your eyes have to leave the road to look down at the touch screen areas to execute diff functions (HVAC, radio, etc...).

My wife drives the RSQ8. White with the carbon option. She loves it, but hated the rims. I got her some Gloss black Vossen HF-7. It looks super sharp now

[megatron]

This is one of my favorite cars from Audi.

[jagpauldhillon]

That’s exactly how I would have that model exterior and the interior color combination in that exact model. Crazy it’s over a $100k, but hey new cars are getting expensive nowadays.

[mikeses]

The Audi build quality is great? Do you believe that holds true for the 2025 SQ8 as well? I am choosing between the SQ8 and the BMW X5 60i

So creepy around 7:15 when u show the dash the clock was at 4:36 and i checked my realtime where im at, and it was also 4:36

I love my 2022 SQ8 in all
Black. All the interior is the
same I think for the most part. . I just hate the two toned look with any other colour . Looks tacky in my opinion 👎 went with Vossen wheels too. all black . Don’t like those oem wheels very much either . Wish the exhaust tips would come black when you get the black optics package. That’s a big bummer and with the fake tips. Those need to be changed . The MMI system kinda acts funny sometimes too. Other then those minor things . We love our SQ8.. it’s so high tech. I don’t think this guy even touch on a lot of cool things that we found. Ion defuser for the a/c and an internal air freshener that comes out through the a/c . It’s sweet . two different scents . Summer and winter . The heads up display is awesome with your speed and nav. It’s not distracting at all. If you didn’t notice too the rear doors control both rear windows and shades. The back window also has a manual shade screen that you can pull up . The doors close on their own if you don’t close it all the way . They have little motors in them to close it incase you don’t . All stuff that’s going to cost $$$ when it breaks is how I see it . Lol. I still Love it though . I have the massage seats as well. Very nice for long drives and I snowboard so it’s nice when you’ve had a full day of riding . It’s one of the reasons we bought a sport suv . We have dogs and I like it for long travels and towing . So when I don’t need it to tow and want to rip
Around I just drop
It into dynamic. And now it’s a super fun sports car. Absolutely love it . So comfortable And fun to drive . I love seeing the faces of my friends and family that I’ve let drive it . Just lights them up . It always puts a smile
On my face when I get into it and get to drive this amazing machine . Just Love it .

Add fog lights always look better and more aggressive

[dcartellone]

I like the the way the fender flares are body colored 🤔… so your expensive suv can show all its rock and stone chips 🤣

[stephaniedcflores]

If you looks at the specs on Google sq8 vs rs q8 they are SO SO SO SO similar the only thing I see imo is the grill difference/ steering wheel I like the grill on the rs but overall the rs has a chubbier suv look

[slyleggs]

why does that one have a fixed removeable tow bar when they come with a folding electric one.

[FreeSmoke]

Take it to a VW dealer that authorizes apr tunes and will tune it for you(keep warranty) and you’re a trackhawk with luxury!!!!

[slyleggs]

dont get me wrong i like driving the sq8 and the q8 rs is a powerhouse but i still prefer to drive the rs7/rs6 performance models, they mapped differently and dont wiegh 27 tonns
