    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.

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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 .

    You can't drive at 27mph and comment a car is quiet. Every car is quiet. The real noise test is at highway speeds of 70-75mph. Do the windows leak through wind noise? Tires pick up a lot of road noise? is the cabin quiet in general? My 2023 Palisade is super quiet below 60mph, but once you hit 70+, the budget factor kicks in and you can tell why luxury SUVs are quieter at high speeds.

    After owning one for a year, the SQ8 is as much as you need. The letter R is for showing off in parking lots, but for every day use the SQ8 for the money is one of the greats, it reminds me of the much loved B5 RS4 AVANT of the past…..simply stupendous in every way. Audi’s strength is still the QUATTRO SYSTEM, the difference between 519 hp in a Ferrari and an Audi is simple, Audi can actually put that HP to the pavement through all 4 wheels instead of 2 (or more typically 1 for the educated) no smoking tires just solid mind bending acceleration.
