Great review, very informative and I liked how he was honest and didn't just praise it to the high heavens. I think it fits the market as the RSQ8 will be the Urus's cheaper brother. Cant wait for more reviews on upcoming audi S & RS models.
The SUV’s never get an RS version because it is kind of pointless really... Even the URUS is kind of a gimmick. I really doubt it drives anything like the other lambo models.
This is a diesel precisely for that purpose. They need to make sure they bump up the price as much as possible while investing as little as possible., so that they can get margins of maybe 200%. I've heard rumors in the industry it' close to 800%, the profit margin. A cullinan allegedly costs around 50k to make and it sells for 500k. Coming back to this, they throw in a petrol engine, bit tuned up, which is probably cheaper than a diesel, like this one and charge 4x times, and add some styling details...and you get an Urus."easy money"
@@MrAlpinab7 actually not quite "easy money " with all costs associated to design, testing, tooling, marketing etc...margins are tighter. where very massive profits are on the lower scale models, high production numbers, fleet sales, etc.
Nah, you can't compare Audi with Lambo....the brand itself outprices Audi any day....not the spec.... ppl dont by lambo for performance, they buy it to showoff....you could get some tuned MKII Golf that performs better than a Lambo...for 1/10th that price.
Don't worry, the lambo probably costs less to fabricate as well. To me, it's only a fashion icon, i live in Bucharest, Romania, and we see them every every day. We don't even notice Uruses, they already look like taxis, and besides saying "look at me, i'm filthy rich" i think they look cheap and like a matchbox car. They are expensive, but they look cheap, low quality. A well specced Bentayga looks qualitative.
@@lizhu8548 If you earn $800k a year, you don't buy a Lamborghini to show off... You buy one because you can afford it. You would not go out and buy some piece of shit Golf...
Great. A journalist found a V8 audi spaceship with an s badge the he just describes as "adequate" in speed. I cannot wait till 5-10 years from now when this will be affordable and useable fun.
Everyone is complaining about the new SQ8 that it is a Diesel, fake exhaust and stuff. Yeah I hate the fake exhaust too. But the engine is pure class. So much torque and pretty decent specs. The SQ8 will be a big seller. If you want a Super SUV you wait for the RSQ8 or buy the URUS. The SQ8 is not a super suv.
Good Review. It seemed to me that Thomas liked the 2016 SQ7 (same engine and so on) and now you say the drivetrain and transmission isn't good enough? At least for now, every review on youtube is praising the driving of the SQ8 when it comes to acceleration and picking up speed. I hope since Thomas did the S6 and S7 review he will do the SQ7 review as well.
Well AJ is more focussed on sportscars while Thomas prefers a little more comfort - and it's totally fine that not everyone from the team has the very same focus =)
Regrettably it seems that new queer tradition of fake exhaust pipes along with engine sound imitated with aid of sound systems grows...these 'rectifications' herald new sad times in automotive industry, times of pretending
They’re aesthetics, but they do look nice and the sound may be partly fake too but it sounds nice too. The carbon fibre front lip splitter and rear spoiler on my S3 do nothing to the car, but they look nice. I like the exhausts.
@@ohheyitskevinc you must be joking? the exhausts would put me off buying the car, when your behind a car with fake exhausts it looks so cheap and lazy. Its shocking the way they do this! I can't believe you think its acceptable how can it look impressive when you can clearly see its fake and badly done!
If the mild hybrid only runs ancillary systems, and doesn't run the wheels, how does the V8 shut off during highway coasting? Wouldn't the car stop moving eventually?
Drivetrain is being declutched, so it keeps rolling - and all other systems are powered by the separate lithium ion battery meanwhile whereas usually the motor would keep running to take care of those.
Christian Ø. Rasmussen Somewhere in a magazine or on TH-cam I came across someone who said it was a result of changes made to improve emissions. Obviously that wouldn’t apply to electric cars. I can’t believe any engineer would consider such sluggish reactions desirable, so I don’t know what the explanation is.
the only problem with the q8/sq8 is Audi over designed the taillight. Should’ve kept the lights separate rather then join them up with the light bar. That makes the car look cheap from behind. Same goes with the daytime running light, trying to be fancy but lost the elegance.
Because V8 means that it has 8 cylinders. Horsepower comes from many other factors, like how much fuel it uses, the cylinder size, and how far the cylinder moves, etc…
A bit of a sloppy review. I take issue with the comment saying that the car's fine for going at high speeds in a straight line. Without any comparison, this to me suggests it is no competition to the Cayenne which I find to be a very reasonable performer around bends. Fuel performance of "11" doesn't make sense either as anyone mildly into auto should know this can potentially mean 11L/100km or 11 miles per gallon. TH-cam being international, I don't know which this is referring to. Beautiful car though..
I really don't get what your'e on about the performance of this car. 0-100 in 4,8 sec is quick and it's not even the RS...... Complaining because you are not pushed back into your seat whe accelerating blows my mind. This is a family car and I'm sure the guy who can afford to transport his family in this wheels doesn't give a shit about getting pushed back into his seat or for that matter getting alluminium paddle shifters made by Ferrari. You want track performance get yourself a real sports car. Your immature way of presenting this luxury suv is frustrating and I think I'll skip your next one.
I need to overcome my extreme poverty, lack of skills and education, deprivation, starvation and homelessness before I can walk into a dealership with my dirty bare feet, disheveled clothing and empty pockets. I also need to stop drinking and put down the crack pipe.
when they say fake parts and diesel engine....I say no thank you 😂😂😂 Ohhh Audi ohh Audi where art thou European classiness and Elegance....where art thou....
Make a car huge, put in a big engine, lower it and stiffen the suspension????? Why.......have the owners small digs??? Or other problems to compensate??? LOL. You can have more fun for a much smaller price and fuel consumption in a hot hatch...
Audi has managed to totally ruin the interior design. They used to be slick and harmonic with wonderful lines but now they seem to go for the edgy 1983 transformer look. It's retro in a very clumsy manner. Not worthy a premium brand such as Audi. This shift towards ugliness is shocking. The only model that has kept sanity is the A4, but guess that's gonna be ruined quite soon then.
In the future, there will be a special servant working for rich people. Their only, full time, job is to wipe all the finger prints from the piano black surfaces of their belongings.
BMW, VW, MB are now trying to appeal to Chinese market hence the Chinese like design. They are copying from the ones that have been coping them, because CH is where the money is. So your impression was not wrong.
I really support your whole "no animal skin"-agenda, but don't you think its a bit ridiculous pointing that out in a 2.2 ton SUV with a 900 Nm/435 PS Diesel engine?
@@autogefuehl My saying to bring Thomas back doesn't mean I disrespected your team. It is just my opinion that Thomas is better. That's all. Don't be so sensitive, AJ.
As the most viewer of this channel enjoy the quality and variety the information are presented I hope I am not speaking only for myself: Thomas is making a great job pushing this channel forward and indeed it is one of the most reseanable of its kind, but especially the change of the hosts and there own way to present makes this channel so unique. For me, AJ and also all others, e. g. Brian, Jonas and Michel form this channel are Autogefühl and I will not miss anyone of them! So please keep up and feed us with your great reviews.

Thanks Fred ! Couldnt agree more. This is a team effort and there is no way I could do all this on my own. I really appreciated the different nuances that Brian and AJ give, we all have certain ways of presenting and I really like the variety. /Thomas

Love the thoroughness of these reviews. Great job. 1 hour and doesnt feel wasted.
👌👌
Holy shit, Jonas!! The B roll deserves its own youtube clip! If not even be in a movie! Good job AJ too, I didn't want to leave you out.
cheers man =)
really nailed the intro on this video fellas, keep up the good work
Great video, filming and editing AJ and Jonas, well done. Many thanks.

I'm so hyped for the BMW X6 2020 review!!!
Awesome video guys! For my part, the SQ8 is the cure for the common Q7.
That color is beautiful but definitely needs the black optic package.
Cool shots in the beginning!
Great job guys! High quality video for a High quality SQ8. Will we see an RSQ8 or does it start getting close to URUS parking spot?

It looks like a big blue SUV monster in the last stages of devouring a silver Audi sedan...
Rational Lion Big ugly Dodge Ram comes to mind when I see this tot design. I would paint grill frame same as body paint just to make it look normal.

Thanks for the review. How about a review Jaguar XE 2020?? Would be a great content
Thanks! We 'd like that but so far Jaguar could not supply a vehicle
@@autogefuehl oh well, hopefully in the near future they will assume that they made a mistake and they will supply it.
Great review as always. Thanks
Thank you very much for this detailed video 👌 It's fantastic 👍 Q8 high performance & specifications

How come Q8 ia about 150kg heavier than Q7 and S versions Haven similar weight ?
Very nice place to test sport cars, i like it
Nice vegan shoes. Car is ok too. Needs a little more detail in the “What’s Thomas wearing” part of the description ;)
Stunning View, with Great car🙌🏻
Really good review well done
thanks !!
This is a comprehensive review.
Thanks, keep tuning in :)

Which model are you reviewing? Prestige?
If the mild hybrid only runs ancillary systems, and doesn't run the wheels, how does the V8 shut off during highway coasting? Wouldn't the car stop moving eventually?
Drivetrain is being declutched, so it keeps rolling - and all other systems are powered by the separate lithium ion battery meanwhile whereas usually the motor would keep running to take care of those.
The throttle and gearbox response seams to be delayed in many of Audi's models.
VW Touareg also
nelsonlee So you would agree it has nothing to do with the engine but electrics because the E-tron has the same.
Christian Ø. Rasmussen Somewhere in a magazine or on TH-cam I came across someone who said it was a result of changes made to improve emissions. Obviously that wouldn’t apply to electric cars. I can’t believe any engineer would consider such sluggish reactions desirable, so I don’t know what the explanation is.
Can you play around with the hybrid system liked you can inside a toyota and get some energy saved up ?
Best detailed review ever

Look at the giant grille at the front, much bigger than the X7 kidney grilles!!
Where is that lovely mountain road, exactly? I'd like to visit.
the only problem with the q8/sq8 is Audi over designed the taillight. Should’ve kept the lights separate rather then join them up with the light bar. That makes the car look cheap from behind. Same goes with the daytime running light, trying to be fancy but lost the elegance.
Driving here in a fast car must be scary and exciting at the same time...
Great review, from Viet Nam 😄
We need to see acceleration in sports car reviews such as this
The torque curve is there, so the 900 foot pounds doesnt tear the thing in half.
That song initially reminded me a lot of the Shinra music from Final Fantasy 7!
Is the old school mic a running joke for the channel? Mics are now smaller than a coin nowdays FYI
th-cam.com/video/q8mbwezd_VY/w-d-xo.html
Great SUV and review. 👍
But I don't like frame less door.
Thats what I luv about it's doors frame less, it make them look smaller not huge
Amazing shots! Great technology! Lame design! Senseless class! Fun review! Thx AJ ;)
Audi SQ8 V8 is a very cool technology and very rally.
Master Razvan Porsche will be better in every department.
Why a v8 engine only have 435hp?
Because V8 means that it has 8 cylinders. Horsepower comes from many other factors, like how much fuel it uses, the cylinder size, and how far the cylinder moves, etc…
It's 4.0 liters which means 0ver 100 hp per liter. From a diesel.
India m kab lonch hogi sir ji
AJ, admit it, you were afraid of that horse :)
=)
I wonder if V8 cars are even relevant today compared to the acceleration, power & speed of electric cars? My money is going to EV as next SUV soon.

so audi has to sell S diesel not to compete with porsche petrol V8?
No

It’s a long way down if you make a mistake...
Any info on the release of the new rs7
This looks really good. Oh shit, just got to the part where the presenter said it was diesel. Terrible, sucks, diesel.....never
I cant wait to see the s8
2horse power vs 435.
I wish that there was no piano black utilized

24:58 thank god Audi dont make video games.
Gooood car ❤️💪🏻👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻❤️
That horses rear end is better looking than that grill.
Audi really need some new front designers. They are getting uglier and uglier.
oe mistake, going too fast on that road and you are dead. why test a fast sports car on a single lane mountain drop off road?
Whoever invented piano black should be imprisoned!

A DSG would better suit this car
WhateverNevermind dsg gearbox cant handle the amound of torque this car has
