Thomas my friend, I realize you will never see this but I wanted to thank you for your great reviews. I just purchased a new 2021 sq8 because of your reviews! Having a choice of anything including the rsq8 I decided that at this point the sq8 offered the best of all worlds for me as I won’t drive it at ten tenths much and the rsq8 would never be driven to its full potential, hence the sq8 was the best for me. I hope Audi as well as the other manufacturers realize that you actually are influential in choosing a car. I am a long time Audi fan but have had many others including to range rovers and a monstrous Mercedes cl55 amg. All have their pluses and minuses but I keep coming back to Audi as the best all around performer, my new sq8 will be my 5th Audi, not a lot in the world of cars but as a real user I think that says something to Audi. Again thanks a lot and keep up the great reviews.
Wow , I mean wow , I didn't expect this ! I love it , the outside and that engine and that interior , red and black looks awesome. Great job by Audi ! Looking forward to seeing when you drive this super car Thomas, see you soon man !
Terrific job covering the SQ8 (like your style and commentary!); curious what engine makes it to the US market and how performance will stack up to the competition...
Great review, thank you. The SQ8 now comes with a 4.0 litre V8 engine….even better! Looks lovely in Matador red as well, think that’s a paid-for option. Thanks again!
Well, the car was already seen plenty of times on the roads by photographers, but maybe you're just not following such pages which are looking for prototypes on the roads
I'm looking forward to first of all the facelift Q7 and latter the SQ7. This SQ8 surprises with the diesel V8 taking the Diesel Gate criminal charges against board members in to perspective. It's a bold move. As long as they don't lie I guess. But great review Thomas as always.
4.0l TDI is strange to see in 2019. I am so curious how two turbos and a compressor will handle after mileage of 100k+ km. Would love to see 2.0l TFSI+power-full electric engine here. As per design looks stunning. Thank you for the review.
My wife works for an audi dealership, the q8 has NOTHING but problems! Some customers have even handed cars back for full refund. Wouldn't touch one with a barge pole.
When the window is down completely, open the door the window will go up a little bit automatically and when you close the door the window will go down automatically. What is the logic behind? Could you help explain?
because it is frameless, it needs to move up a little bit to close it completely when the door is being shut. And it obviously does that in any situation of the window
Autogefühl No No No I am saying when the door is at close and the window is completely down. Then you open the door the window will go up nearly 10cm. Then you close the door the window will go down completely. What is the logic?
Hi, I love your audi and VW videos, you guys are so comprensive! I'd love to watch this in 4K and i'm sure I'm not alone in that :) (*unless it is 4k and youtube hasn't finished rendering yet, i can only see 1080p60)
Great review as always. The only thing I noticed that already “on road” might be more interesting for regular user. Brand new AUDI is great but not realistic to buy for many. Thanks for your efforts!!!
L the screens have a Fingerprint resistant coating, supposedly making them less grubby than the piano black trim. But I’m really not sure how that works in reality.
Ok, now the Lamborghini Urus looks like an overprized Audi SQ8 to me. Lamborghini: "Can i copy your homework?" Audi: "Yeah but change it up a bit so it isn't too obvious" The fact that Audi owns Lamborghini is showing a bit too much.
The SQ8 looks better than the Urus for me its less fussy but I suppose the Lambo needs to be more Mad Max than Vorsprung Durch Technik. I don't see the problem with the Audi Lambo partnership though.
No question in my mind that SQ8 is the best looking SUV out there. I loved the SQ7 Engine, so much power and torque, it sounded great too so presumably it will suit the sporting aspirations of SQ8. Maybe they should try a version of brilliant V6 in the RS4. Maybe a step too far to think of using the RS6 V8 TFSI though.
The starship Enterprise on the inside for the driver. System overload. Looking good. The engine specs sound like this could pull a train. Great in-depth review as one can expect from Thomas and team. Why/How is it there aren’t 3 full seats in the second row? Most cars now only have 2.5 seats! I don’t understand except as a cost cutting exercise. Whereas the Peugeot 5008 has 5 full seats and 2 occasional seats that pull up from the boot. If Peugeot can design and build a car like this why don’t Audi etc do the same? I know we’re generally getting bigger but the 'average' family doesn’t warrant losing a rear seat. I have a Mazda CX-5 and I’ve sat in the middle seat just to get a different perspective and look at the layout from a different POV, when I was deciding whether to buy it or not and after 5 minutes my rear was feeling the pressure and was getting painful. I feel sorry for families with 3 children because one is going to lose a lot in comfort. Years ago I had ma Renault Grand Scénic 5 full seats and two occasional seats in boot floor. That was nearly 20 years ago... So is it just money saving that isn’t passed on to the customer or is there another reason I’m not aware of please?
Great review autogefuel. Its surprises me that Audi keep pushing the diesel engines unlike other brands but it's good for costumers to have more options. It is healthier( economecally 😁)
Is it just the white balance on your camera being off or does this car really have blue headlights LED's? In the US it is illegal to have any blue lights on your car because it is considered impersonating the police. This looks blue enough to where I could see someone getting pulled over for it.
Love the channel. Now the q8/sq8, Audi over designed the taillight this time which ruins the rest of the car. The long taillight works best only with black car, ok on white car, looks very cheap on all other colors.
Very nice review again - thank you. I’m so disappointed with the disaster that Audi engineering has become with the fake (you called it “cosmetic”) exhaust system. It is UGLY and not worth of a USD100K vehicle. We have a Q8 at home and I cant stop hating it. You mentioned @3:45 (that’s how manufacturers do it”) would you consider doing a video to name and shame those luxury vehicle manufacturers doing this aberration of engineering and design?
I don't like the vertical elements on the grill. Other than that it's the perfect Audi suv, doesn't look like a coupe suv or bigger wagon. And finally a v8 for the S.
@Dario Varisco Not this one, in my opinion. It is the strongest engine ever produced by VW. Supercharged and twin turbo. VW is trying super hard to build cars that people really want. If only their reliability could be better. However I believe they are rapidly addressing that issue.
The Q8 Looks really good. But, how reliable is this car? I've driven two BMW's 325i and x5, both were a piece of shit. Both were always in the shop. It was a headache spending so much time to get it repaired. Ever since, I never trusted in buying any German made cars.
I love the V8 engines ,but Audi should have two powerful diesels engines, a V 12 diesels & V8 concerning models of Audi versions of Q series, but for Europe, Australia,Africa, America, Caribbean,.
@@jasonborn9906 that is what I don't like, even with these options the border is still wider than it needs to be, something like a Q7 I think it would be more prettier (inventory-dmg.assets-cdk.com/7/3/4/18159465437.jpg )

Thanks and enjoy 😉
Thank you Audi for giving the new SQ8 at least two real exhaust-pipes! 🙏😍🔥
Agree🙏😇
Still two fake exhausts. Fucking bullshit.
That won't be in the USA lol
alpenjodel24 no on the SQ8 they are real everywhere.
@@Max-ci6vr no
Good looking SQ8 and comes with a punch; V8 suites it very well and I love what Audi is doing with the new lights design. Very nice review!
1:16 you are wrong.... with Q8, SQ8, and RSQ8 you cannot get leaser lights, only HD Matrix LED.
Best part is the (almost) REAL exhaust tips.
Thank you Audi for coming back to your senses!!!
Best car reviewer hands down💯...that sQ8 is a beast🔥😍
Wow , I mean wow , I didn't expect this ! I love it , the outside and that engine and that interior , red and black looks awesome.
Great job by Audi ! Looking forward to seeing when you drive this super car Thomas, see you soon man !
Fake exhaust are the best :) jesus
Fake exhaust
@@Ivan-os3vu At least the third time you've mentioned this. While I somewhat agree, let it go...
Wait there were more. Like, three more. So six and counting. It's not the best but the rest of the car is.
Ivan Petricevic just stfu, atleast theres 2 exhaust pipes, also the rsq8 will likely have all genuine pipes
Terrific job covering the SQ8 (like your style and commentary!); curious what engine makes it to the US market and how performance will stack up to the competition...
Indeed!
I’m not getting my hopes up.
Wow wow wow i totally didn't expect it so soon. Thank you Thomas and Autogefühl team for it.😉😀
Thanks Thomas, your reviews are always great and trustworthy!
thanks! Please feel free to recommend and share =)
finally! Real exhaust pipes :D
Great Look! I love it :)
Best overview, good job 👍🏻
Out of SUVs, this is the best design period.
Great review, thank you. The SQ8 now comes with a 4.0 litre V8 engine….even better! Looks lovely in Matador red as well, think that’s a paid-for option. Thanks again!
Yap, see here: th-cam.com/video/XAGc0LxhljY/w-d-xo.html
Thomas is a busy man, keep it up!
In my opinion, this is a sport version of Q8 and the rear seats design should be sport seats as in the front. Great video Thomas 👍🏻
"WTF" was my reaction when I saw that thumbnail.
You are surprised seeing a new car test on car channel?
@@Ivan-os3vu I'm surprised to see the SQ8, which came out of nowhere. Not even a hint from Audi. But yes, I'm surprised to see a car.
Well, the car was already seen plenty of times on the roads by photographers, but maybe you're just not following such pages which are looking for prototypes on the roads
@@JanM2 Lol. The RS7 was seen on the road like a year and a half ago. And still not out.
Ivan Petricevic pls get out of this comment section
Great video Thomas. My question is, how long until they announce the RSQ8. Now that is the video I want to see...
Probably never
We ll keep u updated on that
Thanks Thomas for your -once more-unbiased review!
highly appreciated
Nice video but when does come the Audi RSQ8 😉
when you discover it on our channel :)
Love that grey color of the car. I would´t go for the animal skin seats, that´s for sure. And as usuall, excelent review from Thomas and his crew !
I'm looking forward to first of all the facelift Q7 and latter the SQ7. This SQ8 surprises with the diesel V8 taking the Diesel Gate criminal charges against board members in to perspective. It's a bold move. As long as they don't lie I guess. But great review Thomas as always.
Q7 Facelift Premiere next week :) 26.06. 00:01 CET tune in!
Always great vidéos thomas
Awsome car👍
This is nice and everything but how many years do we have to wait on the flag ship S8 to come be revealed 🤔

Nice review like all of them
Great review as always. The only thing I noticed that already “on road” might be more interesting for regular user. Brand new AUDI is great but not realistic to buy for many. Thanks for your efforts!!!
Cheers! U mean a driving part? That will follow soon, but manufacturers always first present the vehicle staticly
Maybe you need stitches after a while lol.
=)
I thought you can only get HD-Matrix LED lights with the Q8. Not Lasers
Fingerprints on the pianoblack decoration is not good but you have the same problem with the touchscreens? I don't get it
L the screens have a Fingerprint resistant coating, supposedly making them less grubby than the piano black trim. But I’m really not sure how that works in reality.
Great review Thomas . You know price for Greece? Thank you !
Nope sorry
One of my favourite SUVs. Simply gorgeous. BMW & Mercedes take note.
Lash195 Audi needs to take notes from MB in styling... this thing is a snoozer...
ckneasel The Merc GLE coupe is better looking than the Q8??
Lash195 I actually think ALL coupe style SUVs are hideous... I was referring to the SUV style variants...
@@ckneasel x6m 2nd gen is best. Even the normal f16 x6 is gorgeous.. but f86 x6m is the best suv of the world
@@Fiwek23452 thanks I have my f86 🤤
"Temperature 22 degrees please." Thomas stay always polite, even if he talk to a computer.
😎
Great review! Does it have fast inductive charging? Is cable charging fast or normal?
thanks! Cable always charges faster

The rsq8 will get the 4.0 tt v8
Exterior styling reminds me of video I've seen of WWI tanks. Heavy and sluggish.

Thomas bringing the mic next to the sceen at 8:30 so we can hear better 😂
Makes sense caus there is usually a speaker on top of the screen
Can you show us the underneath the car also please !!!!
But does it have an integrated carwash?
Autogefuhl you always do the review right...
highly appreciated! The driving review is coming in just about 2 days!
I hope u can write detaila and price on discription below next time

Thanks! We do have a static review already, youtube search Autogefuehl Ford Explorer
Thank you Thomas just waiting for full review with you on the road ;-) early next year or if you in US will be early, cheers mate
The music on the start at 0.19 sounds very nice. Shazam don`t give me any information. Maybe you can ? Thanks in advance.. :)
It is an attractive machine the Q8/SQ8. As you say perhaps a better choice than A6-8. Like the seat color.
Beautiful car! And look, no fake exhaust!
Look again
Wonderful car!
That this SQ8 doesn't have a black optics package is a tragedy.
I dont think you can get laser lights on q or sq8
Its really good that it has a V8 TDI
Hi Thomas. Great looking car. But I would prefer with a Petrol engine. Or ideally Hybrid.
hey m8

20%more expensive for real exhaust, I say it’s worth it
The exhaust is still fake
Just mount a custom exhaust
