My 90 day old 2021 Q8 has software issues that Audi does not know how to fix. First Audi-very disappointing.

Floats across the country, with style.

I drive this vehicle from Colorado to our summer retreat in Michigan. It is safe, roomy, smooth, but not too "couchy". I am exceedingly pleased with Audi and this is my 4th Audi in many years. Quality is excellent, service is great and brand is solid. Yes, expensive, but worth it in my years with this brand (2002 Allroad, 2006 S3, 2014 Allroad and 2019 Q8)

A great 8

2019 Audi Q8 3.0 TFSI Premium Plus quattro 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 8A)

I purchased the Q8 year one package. It is a premium plus package but with upgraded options. I love it. Looks great, feels great, handles well, plenty of engine. Bit pricey but when compared to Porsche and Range Rover it was a no brainer.

Bought this in 2019 after trading in my 2016 GLE 400. The ride quality and noise levels are so much better than my former car - air suspension is a great option. Four wheel steering makes this barge pretty maneuverable at low speeds. Luxury pack adds massaging seats and upgraded materials that really bring this into flagship territory. Gripes: The driver assist features aren’t much better than my older generation Mercedes. They’re fine - but could be better. Wireless CarPlay often doesn’t automatically connect and most of the infotainment functions are locked out when on the move - even for the passenger. Oh and the touchscreens always attract fingerprints. Overall, I think the Q8 is among the most comfortable and luxurious cars under $100k. I never thought I would consider a “coupe” SUV, but the Q8 doesn’t feel like a compromise.

Sleek and Quiet

This is a fairly large vehicle that handles well. Be careful because it is quire fast in the highway. The technology is superb and easy to learn. It is a bit slow when moving from a stand still, but I found that disengaging the auto stop/start help with this issue. And, the sound system is superb for those long drives.
