Yeah, but the V8 TDI didn’t get the newest Euro 6d homolgation for the 2021 model year and it probably doesn’t pay off for Audi to invest lots of money into a niche engine for Europe
Thank you guys @Autoefuhl for this video.... I've been looking at the BMW, Mercedes and AUDI SUV's and this video has helped my in my decision! We are planning an extended road trip next summer driving up from Arizona through Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington state and into Canada for our summer vacation and after watching this video we have decided to purchase the 2021 Audi SQ8 for this trip and our daily use! Really love the extensive look at this vehicle that you gave us and the details are great! Like I said I have been doing my research knowing that we were going to purchase a new SUV in Jan-Feb 2021 and this hit the spot!! Thanks again and as always such great information and entertaining videos! So glad I found your channel ! TC Boyle Ahwatukee Arizona USA
@@sergioferraro3644 Thank you Sergio! My wife currently enjoys an 2016 S6 and loves the vehicle!! She would not trade the car in for anything right now! I've had a Infiniti QX56 for a number of years and I've wanted to upgrade and change to an newer SUV for a year now. The AUDI SQ8 with the additional HP really ticked all the box's for me... Big AUDI fan of both the quality and the service provided by the AUDI team!

Wow, this was a well detailed analysis between the SQ7 and SQ8, For and my family needs, I would go with the more practical Q7, because I already have one 😝 The Q8 is nice and sporty, but I want my 3rd row seating and extra cubic space with the Q7
I believe Audi SQ7 and BMW X7 are the best compare with Mazda - CX9 and Hyundai - Palisade but the problems are not available the maintenance with spare parts same like in to many countries in Middle East 🤔
nice to have these two compared and reviewed! Is it me or does SQ7 have a bit more vertical windshield, the windshield seems a bit more upright. That would make SQ8 more of a "bunker" feel whereas SQ7 closer to a BMW X5 driver overview. Dare I say SQ7 has a more sovereign seating position for the driver? ...oh, ok. just heard you say that at 45.35

Many thanks Thomas excellent job! Fantastic two suv whit a super powerful V8 engine. Beautiful interior like Audi always manufacturer. Pack whit hi tech solutions. Very well German engineering machines. Thanks Autogefuhl.
excellent. love the long time spent putting them next to each other, and then from different angles too. MAYBE, down the road, we could get a driving-handling comparison between SQ8, GLE 53 AMG Coupe, and X6 M50i. Not so much acceleration - which they all have plenty of - but driving, handling, steering. Who comes closest to Porsche from this group? In what sphere? Just a suggestion - you guys are obviously busy enough. I watched Autogefuhl reviews of GLE 53 AMG coupe and of X6 M50i, and now this SQ8.
4.0Tdi (435KM) diesel with 4.8s is slow ? Good sense of humor :-)! What about fuel consumption when speeding 180-200km/h - diesel 12-13 liters / benzin 20-22 liters ? Whre are eco-terrorists? :-)
The usual brilliant and informative review of these two cars by Thomas. I think he is the very best reviewer on TH-cam....and also he is a very attractive guy ! I purchased a new 55TFSI Q8 in September 2020. It is a very fine piece of automotove engineering but I do wish now that I had gone for a new SQ8. The 340 bhp V6 engine in the 55TFSI is a fine smooth power unit but the car is very heavy and I do feel it needs just a bit more power. Add in the dreadful hesitation on pick up that seems to affect all new Audi engines. So, I am now looking to bite the bullit and purchase a new SQ8 for the new 71 plate reg in September .
I wish the SQ8 had the laser lights option. Any idea if it will be offered in the 2023-2024 model year? (This is when I am planning on getting the SQ8)
Please do more on city driving and also high speed highway (autotopnl) for all your reviews. Test tracks are boring. I don't see a difference between these two cars in terms of dimensions and looks, confused why they have two differently named models.
Hi Thomas, I'm so glad you tested SQ7 with new petrol engine ! Can you share more about realistic petrol consumption assuming German autobahn (up to 200km/h) and city combination ? You mentioned 12-13l/100km but is it normal daily mix or rather trying to win smallest consumption we will reach 12-13 ? Are you sure this engine has MHEV technology ?
Thanks a lot for the brilliant review and comparison! Did both models have Sport Package (active roll stabilization and sport rear differential)? I'm surprised how well they were driven in slalom!
Shame nobody asked for those S models to become TFSI again. It’s all due to regulations... I’d prefer them as TDIs because the V8 sounded pretty cool and you saved some fuel. Of course I won’t complain about it but the overall thirst of the petrol car is a big point in daily driving. I hope the S4-7 will become petrol sooner than later. The SQ can remain diesel if you ask me
Thank you for another great review Thomas. Love them both but lean to the SQ8's external styling. That velvet purple SQ8 was sweet! I am frustrated that Audi limits what we can get in the U.S. For some reason Audi does not include auto hold for U.S. spec cars. Also they no longer offer the rear fog lights in the U.S. (although I have them on 2010 Q5). Plus we cannot get the base sport seats, which I would prefer a separate head restraint. Come on Audi -- stop denying American customers these features!
@@ultimussslol1558 hope so too. The A6 55 TFSI has almost the same performance stats as the S6 it's a joke. They should at least have a 400+ hp version out
Thomas, I don't get why you talk about sustainability in such cars, I mean the engine pollutes 269-288 g/km of carbon dioxide, so, what makes you think a customer of one of these cars will care about sustainability?
Could you please tone it down with Apple Carplay? Just mentioning connectivity options is fine. It's not related to car you review and it's ugly. I suppose most of the viewers are interested in car features not some 3rd party products that everyone already know about.

I think the diesel V8 did work well with these larger Audi’s. The Diesels don’t work in the S4, 5, 6 and 7
Yeah, but the V8 TDI didn’t get the newest Euro 6d homolgation for the 2021 model year and it probably doesn’t pay off for Audi to invest lots of money into a niche engine for Europe
Would totaly get that SQ7. Such a beautiful car
Yeah, trynna convince my dad to get it 😂 we have the older face-lifted model from 2014-15 with a 285hp V6

My bet is that the difference in the slalom is the steering rack ratio is more aggressive in the SQ8

Don’t like the body colored “struts” that reach out to the grille on the front Of the Q8. Somehow looks like the grille is not integrated.
Finally they get rid off from slow diesel engines !! Good to know Audi accepting they’re mistakes, wish they continue S4-S5-S6-S7 with petro engines
Seeing as they’ve swapped these to Petrol I’d assume the rest will follow within the next couple years
Aidan Wells the diesel models flopped so they’ve learnt

Great cars
“General seating comfort” 😂 How I met your mother
Hi Thomas, does petrol SQ7/SQ8 have such a big wltp lag as 50 TDI?
7:23 that Velvet purple looks extremely similar to Shmee150’s purple on his McLaren 675lt Spider
I wish the SQ8 had the laser lights option. Any idea if it will be offered in the 2023-2024 model year? (This is when I am planning on getting the SQ8)
Whoever is buying, buy SQ7 and with the money saved, you can buy better optional extras. It even looks better than SQ8

Hey Thomas which of the Audi S3 VS SQ7/SQ8 would you say is faster?
Is the optional dynamic pack with the active roll stabilisation and 4ws worth paying for?
Rather for parking help !

Thanks! Yeah has mhev. 12-13 l is realistic, if u go cruise control motorway steady speed u can also score lower like 10-11
Thanks a lot for the brilliant review and comparison! Did both models have Sport Package (active roll stabilization and sport rear differential)? I'm surprised how well they were driven in slalom!
I like this guy.
nice review
No upshift pfart and burbles anymore?
Which would you choose and why: Audi SQ7 or BMW X7 M50i ?
Compare it here: th-cam.com/video/UgoursKjfss/w-d-xo.html
They are two different segments, I’d choose the x7 if I had a rs6 as well, lol
X7 is much bigger not sure if it is a fair comparison??
Could you please spell out what the sq7 blue is, thanks.
Did I mention the color somewhere?
Yes I did hear you saying it but I don't know how to spell it could you be kind spell it out for me I really love the color. Thanks.

Let's be honest design is far behind BMW, looks little bit outdated in comparison to BMW. But still great premium cars, I like interior.
What looks "outdated" about them?
From design POV Ialos slightly prefer BMW, but in comfort, functionality Audi eats BWM like a desert :-)
X7 is more luxurious inside, better features and quality , but BMW is outdated interior now
Have fun with that bmw n63 engine after 20K miles.
