Audi SQ8 (2024) - Ultra Luxury Sport SUV!

2024 Audi SQ8
Starting at $97.795

Highs: Twin-turbo V-8 with 500 horsepower, upscale cabin, sporty exterior design.
Lows: Brakes could be stronger, the V-8 guzzles gas, third-row fans must look to the SQ7.
Verdict: The SQ8 looks great, pampers with a luxury cabin, and is nearly as quick as its more expensive Italian cousin.

Overview
Although you wouldn't know it by looking at it, the 2024 Audi SQ8 shares its platform and powertrain with the wild Lamborghini Urus. Sure, the Urus's twin-turbo V-8 engine has been detuned in the Audi to make just 500 horsepower, but the SQ8 nearly keeps up with the Lambo in our acceleration testing. Plus, the Audi's dialed-back styling means being low-key is much easier. The SQ8 serves as a step up from the standard Q8 SUV, but its five-seat layout and posh cabin carry over to the sportier model. When driven sedately, the SQ8 pampers with an agreeable ride and easy-going handling. Turn up the heat on your favorite back road, though, and the SQ8's athleticism is a real treat—enough so to earn it a 2024 Editors' Choice award.

What's New for 2024?
The SQ8 has received a styling makeover for 2024 that aligns its look with its electric counterpart, the SQ8 e-tron. An updated grille and front bumper give the SUV a more modern look, and a pair of fancy new headlights use lasers for the high beams. The headlights also feature user-selectable signatures, so you can personalize what the daytime running lights look like. New wheel designs, updated taillights, a fresh palette of colors, revised interior trims, and updated seat designs round out the rest of the design changes.

Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2024 Audi SQ8 starts at $97.795 and goes up to $104.795 depending on the trim and options.
Premium Plus: $97,795
Prestige: $104,795

All SQ8 models come with the best performance-enhancing features Audi can throw at them, so no matter which one you choose, you're getting the same driving experience. Still, we'd upgrade to the Prestige trim, which adds a host of driver-assistance and luxury features that include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, a head-up display, soft-close doors, heated rear seats, and power rear sunshades.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
A twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 powers the SQ8, and it provides 500 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque; all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission are both standard. At our test track, the SQ8 blasted to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, just 0.4 second behind the more powerful—but mechanically similar—Lamborghini Urus. The SQ8 provides agile handling and an athletic demeanor, but when switched into Comfort mode it exhibits a family-friendly ride quality, making it a true dual-purpose vehicle.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
According to the EPA, the SQ8 is good for 15 mpg in the city, 21 mpg on the highway, and 17 mpg combined. However, we can't evaluate its real-world mpg until we run it on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen. For more information about the SQ8's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
As is typical of Audi's S models, the interior gains more standard features and fancier materials than the base vehicle. This includes black accents in the cabin and diamond-stitched seats, as well as carbon-fiber trim and contrast stitching. With seating for five, the spacious back seat and capacious cargo area are useful on road trips. Unfortunately, interior cubby storage is subpar.

Класс, ничего лишнего, хотелось бы такого, мечта!!!

Very minimal update but I do like the changes, just a little more aggressive and a jot more svelte which is not an easy thing to pull off but I like it, if I already had one I wouldn’t be rushing out to trade it on this mid cycle update but it’s definitely a nice little refresh and modernisation

My 2021 SQ8 is holding up strong, not upgrading anytime soon. I will say, I like all the carbon fiber accents in mine. I do like the concealment of the cup holders in the new one.. but that's minor.

Хороший, комфортный салон и очень красивый дизайн снаружи. Но до ультра роскошного, ему очень далеко. Ульрараскошный это мейбах, роллс ройс, бентли, ренж ровер. А здесь простой, комфортный салон, аккуратный и без всяких изысков, а тёмный цвет делает его ещё хуже
