Traded in my Q8 for the SQ8. I always said the Q8 is the "coupe" SUV for those who don't buy into the "coupe" SUV - the SQ8 offers the same luxury experience plus a sweet V8 and trick suspension just because.

Pros: The power, obviously. If you can find a good stretch of road, the SQ8 rips through the gears at an incredibly smooth and alarming rate. The V8 noise ensures that it never gets old. It handles better than the standard Q8, yet the ride quality is 95% as good (the Q8 had 21" wheels while my SQ8 has 22"). Well-built/designed, comfortable, and spacious interior befitting of a six figure German car. Really good driver assistance pack - better than my '19 Q8 and almost as good as a 2022 S Class I recently drove.

Cons: Hilariously useless storage compartments. TPMS doesn't actually tell you how much air your tires have (pretty sure Honda offers that on the Civic) - it just screams at you that one of them has a "loss of pressure". Much like the Q8, transmission isn't always at the ready when you stab the throttle - unless you're in dynamic mode. Even after 3+ years, the infotainment is still distracting and many features are locked out while driving. 

Bottom line: I put 40,000 miles on my last Q8 with only minor electrical glitches along the way. The SQ8 offers more of the same experience without having the second guess whether you can overtake the car in front.

If you like the Q8, you'll love the SQ8

if you are in the market for a large luxury sporty performance oriented SUV that competes with the likes of the Porsche Cayenne GTS  look no further....and for $25K less. Very fast. Very nimble with all-wheel steering. Excellent visibility. Beautiful style and workmanship with a detuned Lamborghini 500 hp motor. For the car enthusiast looking for a large SUV this is nirvana. 

Beautiful P8erformance SUV

About 2K miles into my 2023 SQ8 Premium+ with black optic and executive package and I absolutely love to drive this car.  I love the solid feel of this audi - great acceleration and handling in the different modes.  This is 100% a driver's car.  I would add that I enjoy it much better while driving on an open freeway than around town because i get to open it up much more on the roads here in the KC/Tulsa/Dallas region.  The car is my daily driver, but it's my "machine" on the weekends.  
Pros:
Style, fun to drive, solid and quiet with on-demand power when you want it. Good technology in the cockpit and so many other things!
Cons
-Gas Mileage - I am sure I can drive it more efficiently, but it is so much fun to put the pedal down and open her up once in while.  
-wireless charger heats my phone up, which disconnects it from car play and is slow-charging so i mostly use the cord.  
-want more options for driver seat positioning.  Bolsters are great, but would appreciate the ability on cushion bolters to open up wider.  

If I were to order it again I would....Opt in for the prestige trim, to get the additional options like sport suspension and B&O advanced sound system - would have only been 5-6% more on cost.
Overall - 3rd Audi and my favorite so far!

SQ8 - The pleasure is all yours.

I loved the looks of the Q8 when I first spotted it in 2019. I remember seeing it for the first time driving through a Whole Foods parking lot, wondering what model it was. It didn't look like anything I'd seen from Audi. There was a more sporty look to it compared to the Audi Q7, which I thought looked too much like a Wagon. 

Audi managed to beat out BMW and Mercedes in terms of looks for a Sports Activity Coupe type vehicle. The rear end of the BMW X6 is just ghastly, and while the Mercedes GLE is a somewhat better take on the coupe version of an SUV, Audi managed to execute the look much better, especially toward the rear of the vehicle. 

The interior of the Audi Q8 is phenomenal, clean, and if you love tech, this IS your vehicle. People complain about the piano black interiors, but you can't beat the clean lines. In particular, Audi did an amazing job incorporating the air vents across the panel with a seamless, modern look. You get used to having no real buttons (only digital), very quickly, especially if you become accustomed using the steering wheel buttons to navigate the Audi's numerous functions. 

Here's where I start complaining. The Audi 6-cylinder Q8 55 TFSI has terrible throttle lag. I called my local Audi dealership several times about the Auto Stop/Start function not engaging quick enough. Often times, the engine would shut off at a rolling stop at an intersection, anticipating a full stop. However, if the intersection was clear, in normal driving one would go ahead and proceed with a turn. You would apply the pedal as you rolled out into the intersection, but always to my surprise, the engine would not engage. It was a good 2-4 seconds before power went from the pedal to the engine. Human intuition is to apply more pedal if you aren't getting a response, so by the time the engine finally accepted the pedal inputs, you would be quite heavy on the pedal and the vehicle would lurch aggressively forward, with you being already panicked about the stall you are experiencing in the middle of an intersection. 

My dealership's response to this was that it was a driving characteristic of the car. It was not. At my 10K mileage service, they admitted there was a problem, and they had developed a patch for it. They applied the tuning patch, and it did help things some. 

The 6-cylinder, 55 TFSI's transmission is quite odd as well. It's almost as if first and second gears do not exist, as the engine shifts from these gears very quickly, and the feel is very unnatural. At this point, the SQ8 was becoming more widely available in the US, and I found one about 200 miles from home. I decided to test drive it. 

The 8-cylinder SQ8 is by far much better than the 6-cylinder 55 TFSI. The engine is incredibly responsive, with so much power available in every gear. The transmission shifts as one would expect and anticipate. The sound of the SQ8 is throaty, but not annoyingly loud or obnoxious, unless you want it to be. Part of me thinks the exhaust note responds to the way you are driving, as the more aggressively you drive the vehicle, the more pops and cracks you hear on the downshifts, and the throatier the response you receive from throttle inputs. 

The SQ8 is perfection. The air suspension provides and excellent ride quality, and in dynamic mode, stiffens enough to feel like you are driving a car, instead of a large, heavy SUV. There is nothing SUV about the driving quality of this vehicle. There is barely any roll, and the steering is so nimble, tight, and responsive. I test drove a Range Rover Sport, prior to this purchase, and that vehicle felt top heavy, and disconnected from the road. Not the case with the Audi Q8 or SQ8. 

If you can spring the $100k+ for the Audi SQ8, it is ABSOLUTELY worth the money for the incredible power, torque, and sound. The 6-cylinder, 55 TFSI Q8 is a fine vehicle after the patch, but lacked the power and presence in the driving experience that I desired. 

As far as the RSQ8, while there are styling and engine features of the vehicle that are stunning and aggressive to admire, I couldn't justify spending another 40-50K for an additional 90 HP. 

Audi has managed to produce an absolute masterpiece in the SQ8. It fits wonderfully in between the 55 TFSI and the RSQ8. The SQ8 is a phenomenal competitor to the BMW M models and the mid-level Mercedes AMG class SUV's, and should be highly considered when shopping for this class of vehicle. 

Switched from Audi Q8 55 TFSI to Audi SQ8.

Previously owned Mercedes and BMW large SUVs...traded in my wife’s Porsche McCann, which we loved..turned in my Tesla 100S lease and bought the Audi SQ8. Bought thru Costco program, and very pleased with price...fully loaded with options listed at $105,000 plus. This is a driver’s car and meant to be pushed...have driven thru the Appalachian Mountains over interstate 40 to Pinehurst, awesome handling, secure and safe. Just back from Naples Florida, about 1700 miles of interstate...a great cruiser with almost unlimited power...the best though is the experience to drive 8 hours, get to your destination, and feel like you just departed...

Have had many compliments regarding the exterior and interior..neighbors not known as car people have stopped by to inquire as to where I bought..

The big difference in the Audi and the Tesla is the feeling of safety and being in total control..the Audi is a big vehicle and provides a driver’s view looking down on the Tesla driver. Just a great road vehicle...

Excellent road experience
