- The SQ8 has some special touches from Audi. This SUV sits on the same chassis as the Lamborghini Urus. Under the hood is a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 that is pumping out 500HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. On the outside you will find a unique front fascia, wheels, and rear bumper. On the inside there are sport seats, beautiful leather, and all the technology you could ever want. Is the Audi SQ8 a REAL performance SUV?

“Wish it was a little thicker. I’m sure some of u have heard that before.” Classic!!! What happened when you said “head”? Thought you were gonna lose it!!! Keep it up. Great review.
LMAO! Thanks for letting me share some laughs!
I own a new SQ8 and agree with your review. It is the perfect mix of power and luxury IMHO. The sound when it starts up is amazing...my family and friends all have a smile on their face when I start it up. I have a lightly optioned one as I couldn't see spending up to $20k more for them. My out the door cost was $95k which is a lot of money but it is a lot of car. Keep up the great work. I really like your reviews...fair yet you still can be excited about each car. Happy Holidays.
Thanks Dave for sharing your input and perspective!
Raiti should bring actual snacks one of these reviews. Be nice to see a Jersey Mike’s subs and skittles.
A snack for each review!
I may not get any filming don and just eat! LOL
@@ryanhartley8540 That is going to get expensive! LOL
That would be awesome my favorite snack Reese's 😋
11:37 Speaking of Head 😂
LMAO!
“If you like big wheels and You can’t deny”
I caught that 😂🤜🏾🤛🏾💪🏾
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
@@RaitisRides always look forward to it
This is something special , love it
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
Joe, your drive around those roundabout is fabulous. You running the line perfect like a race driver. And your throttle controls are amazing. Really appreciate you doing these reviews to let us know how much potential each car has. Thank you.
Joe. Thanks for the hard work. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Stay safe man!
Thanks you so much! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
"speaking of head" BRO LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
Audi is the best no argument all day long
This is the best vehicle in Audi’s lineup. Beautiful, stylish, practical, fast, fun. I cant think of anything this cannot do! A Lambo Urus for less than half the price
You are so very right!
This is something special , love it
The exhaust is FIRE mad nice for stock
I am so glad that you like this one.
“What if your kids play with knives”…. Solid question lol.
One of my favorite SUVS on the market right now..👏👏👏
I am so glad that you are loving this one.
Mine too
Great review Joe. I agree w/ you that this might be the sweet spot of the lineup. Much more performance than the Q8 & still the top end of the Audi SUV lineup, but under $100K it gives you 90% of the performance of the RSQ8 but at tens of thousands less. Love it !
Wow the performance on this beast is impressive.
You are so very right about that!
Just ordered an 2021 Audi QS8 Prestige in Matador Metallic Red with Black with Gray stitching interior & Carbon inlay with the Black Optic option, Sports Package, Luxury Package and
Bang & Olufsen® 3D Advanced Sound System
as an early Christmas Present to myself! I can't wait till it in and I'm driving it! With the COVID19 pandemic we plan on driving to alot
of our destination in 2021 and thought this SUV would check all the box's for a great ride! Thanks Joe for the great video mate!
I spilled cream all over my keyboard, lovely car and great review
I hope you have a towel! LOL
Gosh, another video today? You just dropped one 3 hours ago! Amazing! Honestly, while I like the Q8, I wish it was an SUV larger than the Q7. One that could compete with the GLS, LX, and X7. But this is still one amazing vehicle.
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
Well there are rumours going on that Audi is creating a Q9 to fill that job a three row large SUV
@@yes8032 If they do, im buying it.
@@p_enta5012 yea me too it sounds like a good idea I’m not sure when it’s being released they said the end is f this year but I haven’t seen anything but there’s also a chance it could be called Q9 Etron
@@yes8032 Hm... either way ill be placing my preorder on it. I hope it becomes a thing. Maybe we would need an A9 to match? an a8 but much much much nicer to compete with maybach and alpina?
Your presentations are awesome! I watch them multiple times for various reasons. Some to just laugh, some to get the details, some to list the zonks but all to enjoy a thorough and entertaining performance. Your camera person and editing are excellent as well! I am in California so I will get mine here but my siblings and nephews in Florida were just sent a link to this review and hopefully will get one at the dealership you used. I was leaning Benz for me and Genesis for the wife but now I can keep peace in the house with this for myself and the Q7 for her! Thank you and Keep up the great work! I
Great review on the Audi even the part about the cup holder bizarre statement. Thanks for the laughs and review Joe. You are the man!
Thanks for letting me share the cars and the laughs with you!
It’s strange as the cup holder cover is standard in other markets. I have it in my Q8 and it looks much better.
10:52 LMAOOOOO
Thanks for letting me bring some laughs!

German speed metal machines are insanely fast. Don't drive one if you want to live long and retire at old age.

I’m a sports sedan guy, but yes to more performance SUVs. Hopefully soon we will see a few reasonably priced performance SUVs from non-luxury automakers.
I am so glad that you like this one.
Why oh why did I watch this video. Now I'm back to be interested in the Audi. I blame Raiti for this. Great vid.😎
Thanks man!
Chipotle’s burrito 🌯😂🤣 that’s why I love these videos!! It does give me a good idea on how much space
Thanks Jose! That really means a lot!
I like the huge space of the trunk. I could probably fit a bunch of Pokemon or Cat stuffed animals to cuddle yourself, or maybe fit gigantic Backpacks or coolers for the beach, or maybe alot of things for Christmas dinner or preperations.
I like the way that you think.
looks perfect in that color
I am so glad that you like this one.
Awesome SUV, happy thanksgiving!
Thanks man! Happy Thanjsgiving!
I sure did think the Q8 would be bigger than the Q7 lol , but good review !!
Speaking of head...good one Joe!
LOL! Headroom!
The front grill really reminds me of the new sonatas. Cat fish look is in style it seems!
You think so?
@@RaitisRides upon sobering up after a night of drinking, no. Haha
Man, I freaking love Audi. 4.0L twin-turbo V8 500HP quattro...and that's the middle of the road option. I could see setting that bad boy up with a set of Blizzaks and go winter driving out here on a powder day. The RSQ8 has to be insane! Awesome review man! That was fun!! Oh yeah...where Audi also absolutely kills it is the interior. The instrument cluster digital cockpit is the best there is to offer. Wow, what a sick ride. I want one.
I am so glad that you liked this one Bob! I had a feeling that you would.
This is an awesome all around SUV. 100k is a lot though! RS5 sport back is probably a better buy imo. Either way another great video!!
Thanks Sam for letting me share it with you and thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Nah Q8 has the space and comfort
Yea I’d get a rs5
2.9TT V6 on RS5 vs TT V8 in SQ8. Pretty good deal
@@KuyaArbee rs6 or a6 wagon has even more space and drives bettee and is lighter, no reason to get an suv
Another SOLID review🙌🏾🤙🏽 I agree with the small zonks on the Paddle Shifters and plastic backsides of the front seats.
Thanks Malcolm! That really means the world man!
@@RaitisRides you’re welcome bro! Happy Holiday’s! Can’t wait to see you do the RSQ8 review!!!
@@Magiicmalc Thank you so much! Same to you my friend!
Boy Oh boy! That vantage looks good from far. 5:00
Good eyes!
My Car ❤️
Would be nice to test every car on those types of roads.
@@CRBMA7 welcome welcome 😃 Hello my friend!
Just had a Q8 Premium as a rental in SLC. It was an absolute beast that I didn't want to return. Only thing I could complain about was the wireless CarPlay dipping in and out and the arm rest being tiny and of poor build quality & materials. Put my Velar to shame. Great review as always.
Poor quality? I have Audi sq8 and there no poor quality. Everything’s feels premium to touch. Maybe the rentals have worn out cars.
@@mastersilence3446 Hey my friend, didn't mean the entire car was poor build quality, they're absolutely great. Was simply referencing the armrest didn't match the quality of the rest of the car. It felt like a piece of plastic and not ultra lux leather. Didn't have an SQ8 as a rental, only a Q8, which might be why. Beast of a car, hope you're enjoying yours.
Plenty of power with that V8 Turbo. $99,000, is that all? I’ll take two! Not! Thanks for sharing it Joe. You and Lori have a great Thanksgiving and stay safe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks Larry! I hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving.
This SUV is amazing. Awesome video Mr. Raiti 😄👍🏽
Thanks man for letting me share it with you!
"Speaking of head" LOL
LMAO! Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
Take it to Sebring this weekend for the Turkey Trot. That would be a blast!
It was surprising to see that a $100k vehicle has plastic and nets on the rear of the seats. Imagine the price of the Lamborghini 😳 Great review Joe!!! Happy thanksgiving 🍽🍁🦃
You are so funny and wonderfully goofy, Joey! Thanks for these awesome reviews. Oh boy-this is a sweet SUV. Audi's are my faves from these big Germans. Beautiful and strong lines, just a great style. :) JV Johnny
I am so glad that you are digging the content!
That's a Stinger size dead pedal! Yeah!
Nice head!
Oh yeah!
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
Why did someone dislike before even watching the video? 😡
Cuz they don't like Audi
Because their lives are miserable
Haters are always going to hate.
@@kromahj That could be.
@@novalakes4723 I think you may be right!
Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁 Raiti’s Rides n the family 🇵🇷🇩🇴😎🌴🏝🏖
Thanks brother!
Maybe Santa will put this in my stocking. Happy Thanksgiving Joe!!
Have you been good this year? Happy Thanksgiving!
Felt like I was sitting on the hood! Nice car.
I am so glad that you like this one David!
Also, nice Adidas shoes. Have a happy Thanksgiving :)
Thanks brother! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
I feel like the Urus and these cars are the same, to me I feel like the Urus has better performance but this is more than plenty for anyone looking to just get around. 500hp is enough to get you plenty of tickets but needless to say that is one awesome family hauler
They really are!
"What happens if your kids play with knives" loll
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
@@RaitisRides Man, you're incredible. I really enjoy your reviews. Keep up the great work.
How does the Audi sq8 compare to the jaguar f pace svr,Which one is better??
I am going Jaguar!
This really is a sweet spot with the performance, that blue and those wheels. Great feature as always making a crossover look interesting to a sedan man.
Great press release
That you for saying that!
Can you do the new 2021 Ford F-150 limited. It is so beautiful
Nice wagon! Gotta love head room... Victor, better keep a hat on the soft spot... lol. Always liked Quattros, and loving the colour on this one!
Thanks for letting is share it with you Adam!
joe! please do a review on the 2021 Chrysler 300 Please🙏🏾
I will try to track one down for you!
After I saw the rs6 avant, any other audi has my attention.
I know how you feel!
This guy entertains 😂😂😂 great stuff
Thank you for letting me share some laughs with you!
Hey Joe would it be possible for you to track down an Audi RS6 avant?
Head, head, head, ahead 😂 i see you Joe! 😂
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
This q8 is dope love it
I had a feeling you would like it!
Actually sits on the Tourag platform😉
Thanks for that info!
Better deal then the rsq8 fav new SUV
AGREED!
Such a good looking suv!
I am so glad that you like this one.
Wish they stuck with Bose sounds system instead of what they have B&O
I know how you feel!
Raiti, you and your lids!!!! LOL I knew you were gonna say it b4 you said it...I'm gonna Zonk that..
You know me well! LOL
Made the move to upgrade from a Q8 to an SQ8 and am pleased with the move. Yes, it is an expensive vehicle. I’m not here to defend spending the $$. But for anyone considering a Q8, think it over. The change in power in the engines is significant. And not just in a way of pulling red line acceleration, but just regular driving as the Q8 is a heavy vehicle. And the gas mileage penalty is not that bad, as the V6 has to rev harder to get the same performance. Lastly, I would recommend getting the option for rear wheel steering in a Q8 ( standard in SQ8), as it really helps navigating parking lots or other sharp turns.
The baby urus i love this suv
Thanks for letting me share it with you!

Thanks my friend for letting me share it with you!
when you talking about the 2021 SRT and Tackhawk?
When you said plenty of head , I knew the gutter mind was active 😂
Great review.
Thanks for saying that!
I like what I am seeing in this SQ8 SUV Joe
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
Raiti, what's your opinion? I'm looking between the sq8 and the x6 m50i. which one would you prefer? I'm stuck between both, but I'm leaning towards more for the x6 m50i.
Nice color
I am so glad that you like this one.
Waiting for your the new tucson review
Try to get your hands on a RsQ8 if you can Joe ! 🤣👍
I am working on it brother.
@@RaitisRides 😀👍
Joe , please bring a 2021 r8 also 😊😊
You got it!
I am always loving you content can you do a review of the 2020 dodge challenger R/T and dodge said rumors that they might bring back AWD for the charger/challenger R/T
I will try to track one down for you! There is talk about that!
@@RaitisRides Thank you and yes
@@alexanderkgeorge510 You are so welcome.
Nice looking ride
I am so glad that you like this one.
That color is rather boring. Sweet family ride though.
I can understand where you are coming from.
"Let's talk about what's going on here.." make tons of tshirts with that quote, put the Joe quality logo, sell them and be rich Joe! Save me a XL pls.
Love your Review's
Do some used cars Review's please, just for the people who buy by worth comparing age.
Thanks for saying that!
@@tiopik1 Will do!
How are you Joe? Audi time!!
Hey Tom! I am doing well! How are you!
@@RaitisRides Just chilling!
Basically a Lamborghini Urus but 100k cheaper
AGREED!
Have you ever been pulled over testing one of the cars yet ?
Don't jinx me! Knock on wood.
You had a similar reaction to the BMW X5 M59i. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on how those two compare,
ince doctors will be able to afford this car they should not have a problem with the sharp door edge since they can tend to their injured arm themselves.
I cannot wait till these drop in value then I will buy one lol.
Maybe I'm an ol' f**t but these suv's look like pumped up station wagons from years ago. This one looks pretty nice though.
fart?
I totally agree with you!
Possibly
Nice review, but I would go for a Gle 53.
Nice Ride
I am so glad that I can share this one with you!
Ok so “flat bottom and thicker”, “speaking of head”, and my favourite........”speaking of t*t”......I have t laughed this hard in a long time!!!! I’m still laughing!!!
I am so glad that I could share some laughs with you!
Tony I’m with you😂even Joe had to laugh when it comes to head😂
No zonk on that rear wiper?
I let it slide on this one becase of the HP.
2k more and we will 400k family
You are so very right Fahm!
Beautiful car! Out of curiosity, have you ever been pulled over while filming? 😂😂
I've often wondered this about car reviewers too, especially with the way they push those test vehicles.
I was going to buy this right now, but I can't get all my Twinkies in the door so I'll pass
I know how you feel!
Almost 400k!!!
We are so close! Thanks for being great!
Man I missed this but I can tell you this car is amazing probably my dream Audi very awesome
