Audi, where have you been all my life?
After months of research I purchased the Q8 with Premium Trim. The Q8 has exceeded my expectations as a sporty and luxurious SUV. As a tall man (6’6”), I feel right at home in the Q8 and driving it is a lot of fun! This SUV has all kinds of power and smoothness. The Technology in the vehicle is a lot but it becomes fairly intuitive after a few days. Super quiet on the inside! One note for better or worse, the Q8 is bigger than you think - closer to the Q7 than the Q5. If you want a true midsized SUV I’d look at the Q5 and if I still had kids going to soccer, lacrosse, etc... I would have bought the Q7 The rear cargo area has enough room for my golf clubs, and work materials. The back seat has more room than any other vehicle I considered. I looked closely at and considered the BMW X5, Acura MDX, and the Mercedes GLE. Personally I don’t care for the looks of the Lexus or Infiniti SUVs, The Range Rovers looks great but I was scared away by the reliability reports on Edmunds, and I don’t really see myself as a Jag or Porsche owner.

Pleasantly Surprised
Have always shopped MB and BMW w/o much thought on Audis. When the MB debacle associated with the GLE 450 added six months (or more) to my delivery date I got my deposit back and started doing a bit more research. Never thought the "coupe" style SUVs were ugly personally, but I know they are polarizing. The Audi does a much better job making a sporty vehicle, so I figured it was worth a test drive. Loved the car, so ordered one loaded with all options less night vision. There is a learning curve on the tech., but the vehicle is very well equipped. Joy to drive and a four-hour car ride is about as stress-inducing as a jaunt to the corner market. The added insulation and thicker glass, coupled with the upgraded audio system make it a fun place to be. The mild hybrid system isn't remarkable and is largely focused on making the start-stop system smoother (it does). Audi seems to have slightly outsmarted themselves on the system though as it will put the car in coast mode prior to a full stop and if you find yourself getting back on the gas while this happens you can have a bit of hesitation. That hasn't been an issue for me, but others complain about it on the user boards and post workarounds like staying in sport mode and/or turning off the auto stop-start feature. All and all I'm very happy with the Q8 in the early stages of ownership. Probably rivals an S550 sedan for taking four adults on a long road trip with the added flexibility of an SUV.

Great overall package
Overall, we are really happy with our Q8. Regardless of published reviews, this car is very quick. Its a quiet ride, the technology is really strong. It gets constant looks or people asking us what model the car is. Its a definite 4 or 4.5 stars rating for us. A few things for the Audi designers to work on to make it a 5: - Remote start capability: Last four cars have had this, black car in Texas its a necessity - Really would good to turn off the auto-shutoff at stop lights permanently - Storage is lean (e.g. for sunglasses, etc). Console is tiny - Seat settings: there is some logic that we can't figure out but its not the settings of the last person that drove the car, but it doesnt seem to react the same everytime. - The software is a little flakey, with strange messages appearing occasionally, and certain parts of the menus disabled on one drive for no reason.
Quirky and Temperamental
We have owned Audi's for the past 10 years. Our Q5 was hands down one of the best vehicles we have ever owned. We decided to pick up a Q8 after a great Q5 experience and figured it would be even better since it is Audi's flagship SUV. Boy were we wrong. It has been in the shop for repairs numerous times for locking malfunctions, MMI issues and most recently for a child locking malfunction. The electronic locks on this car are absolutely atrocious and are a safety issue. Besides that, it is one of the most quirky cars. The MMI system does its on thing when connected to Apple Car Play. Overall, Im not happy with it and am seriously not happy with my dealerships response to the issues with the locks. We will be breaking ties with Audi and you have now lost a long time loyal customer.

2019 Audi Q8
We have had the Q8 for three months, and have enjoyed every minute using it. We have put around three thousand miles, and reliablity, as it should be has been flawless. It is great in the snow. We drive it to our ski house each weekend, and it is like driving a snow cat compared with our previous vehicle, the dreadful 2016 Ford Explorer which was like a toboggan. The matrix-led headlights are as though the sun is on the front of the car when the superb auto high beams are active. They are definitely a worthy upgrade. The Q8 also has a cavernous rear seat where tall people can easily stretch out.

Great car - just a few small issues
I've had the car about 2 weeks using it as most suburbanites would. I crosses shopped all the usual German and Japanese suspects and finally settled on the Q8. I don't need a 3rd row, comfort is very important, and driving dynamics still matter. It's an SUV so it won't be going to the track but it needs to get out of its own way. With that context here is the good and not so great This is a great car and I'm very happy with the choice. To me this was the best combinations of style, tech, and comfort. The interior of this car is outstanding and takes very little time to get up to speed. You can't say that about BMW and MB. I've had iDrive before and I could not get past that MBUX dashboard in the MB. The Audi is just right without being over the top. The drivers assistance is not triggering alarms every 30 seconds and the corrections are very subtle as to not be annoying. The comfort was the reason I chose this car and am not disappointed. Performance is about what you would expect in this class of car but it is not mind blowing. There are a few quibbles about this car that you might not notice until you have lived with this car for awhile. Forget about using D in the gear selector. Go right for S (Sport). There is an annoying amount of play in the gas pedal that creates a delay unless you opt for Sport. Does not make the car go faster but makes it a more traditional drive. This SUV sits about 1-2" higher than your typical suburban hauler. It does not sound like much but it makes a difference. The extra ground clearance might be welcome but it makes makes carting around elderly passengers more difficult and makes the load height in the back a little high if you don't have the air suspension. Lastly, the A pillars on this car are pretty thick. You will notice it the first time you pull out of a parking lot when you are moving your head around the pillar to see the oncoming traffic. All in all these are small things in what is otherwise an outstanding vehicle.
Beautiful car but...
We absolutely love the looks and all the technology in this car, however, we have had never ending issues with the front proximity sensors and Audi is doing NOTHING to fix it. Well...maybe that is not exactly true...they did tell us we could disconnect the proximity sensors! I feel that these are a must have safety feature and Audi’s advice is to turn them off because they can’t fix whatever is wrong with them. We have had the car back at Audi Chandler 4 times and have had nothing but excuses. We have been told that Audi engineers are working on the issue and their hands are tied. In the mean time our front sensors blast red flashing lights and warning buzzers while sitting at at stop light with nothing in front of the car...and when you need them to work they are silent. I started a ticket with Audi corporate in hopes they would escalate the issue and get the car fixed or trade the car out with one that works. Instead I waited 6 weeks for them to tell me they won’t do anything to fix the car. Not what you want to hear when you purchase an $80k car. The Hyundai I bought the kids works better than this fine automobile...thanks Audi.

It should be on your short list
I’ve owned my Prestige Trim with the Luxury and Year One packages for about 4 months. Absolutely love it. Best styling out there for the “coupe style” SUVs, with the added benefits of a roomy second row and cargo area. Fit and finish of materials are superb quality. The vehicle handles very well, respecting its size. The power is more than adequate, with plenty of on ramp and passing power when you need it. If there is a weak spot, there is a bit of a quirk in the gearing and synchronization with the stop start system. At times, the vehicle can feel a little sluggish at very low speeds in the regular drive setting. I chalk this up to the EPA standards. Simply turn off the stop start or put the gearing in Sport mode and everything works as would be expected for the torque and HP of the engine. Read up on other consumer views of manufacturer stop start systems and you will see similar criticisms though. So, it’s not just an Audi or Q8 thing. I’m very happy with my purchase. Put it on your short list if you are looking at the handful of coupe SUVs. 2021 update— my Q8 continues to put a smile on my face. Fit and finish remains top notch, love the drive.

Great Vehicle
I've only had the car one week, but so far it has met or exceeded all my expectations. It is exceptionally smooth and quiet and comfortable on the road. The technology is definitely cutting edge. The looks are outstanding. The Prestige model is rich with features. Now, after owning the vehicle for about 6 months, I can say I still like it as much as I did during my first days of ownership. I often have people stop me and say how good looking it is. I have had a couple of minor quality control build issues which were easily resolved by the dealer, but no significant problems. If I were to list any complaints, I would say I have only two minor ones; there is a definite lack of small storage spaces for the driver (i.e. center console and dashboard cubbies) and 2, the engine stop/start feature is annoying, but can be defeated. I would definitely buy this car again. The only thing I would change would be to get the 4 wheel steering option. This, I believe, would make parking and general manuverabilty much easier. In January 2020 I traded my Q8 for an identical Q8, the only difference being that the new one has 4 wheel steering and air suspension, other than that there NO differences in model or options. My previous opinion that 4 wheel steering would improve manuverabilty was absolutely correct! The new car is significantly more maneuverable and MUCH easier to park. Now having had the Q8 for over two years I can say that it has been trouble free and a pleasure to drive. Not being a computer geek I still find some functions somewhat difficult to navigate, but I'm getting better at it. Having a couple of buttons/knobs for a couple of more commonly used functions would be nice, however if you remember to use the voice function which works very well it's a good alternative.

AUDI WORST Q8
I have an 2019 Q8, as soon as I hit 85,000km everything went downhill, Alternator , start stop, starter, fuel pump, electrical sensors, cruise control still in fault, the only good thing working out for me is that my lease is due in juin 2023.

Not worth the money
This car has been a big hassle for us. The auto start/stop feature is horrible, several times I've almost gotten into an accident at an intersection, and/or scared the heck out of pedestrians when I'm stopped and the vehicle suddenly lunges at them. And there has been no improvement in this issue since the firmware update in late 2020. See documented issues here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/AUDI/Q8 https://lemberglaw.com/2019-audi-q8-problems-complaints-lemon/ The rear hatch doesn't respond to the open command from the keychain, nor the sensors underneath it that are supposed to open it when you wave your feet under them. I took my vehicle into Audi service to have fixed and they couldn't fix, so we just left it the way it is. Speaking of sensors, they're extremely erratic and go off for no reason. Not terrible but when you add everything else up, it makes them far more annoying. The only reason I gave this vehicle two stars and not one is because I like the exterior design. I would not go anywhere near this car and be very wary of buying a more recent model from Audi.
Great premium class SUV
I like the coupe-like SUV styling, having driven an Infiniti FX50 for many years. But the Q8 adds in two areas where the Infiniti fell a bit short. The interior quality and technology are top notch. Very quiet interior with upscale materials and excellent fit and finish. The tech works well, and though I do miss the buttons of yesteryear cars, the Audi system works very well for its layout, the interaction between the screens and the haptic response. I also appreciate that Audi designers took the time to integrate the screens into the dash and didn’t just plop a screen on top as if were an afterthought. The other area of improvement is space. There is plenty of second row room making it very comfortable for passengers. While the angle of the hatch impedes some measure of cargo space, for the most part it works well enough for me as I rarely stack cargo up to the ceiling. The depth from the hatch to rear seats lets me fit all my kids gear and still have room for errand shopping. It has very good power, especially once in motion. No worries when taking an on ramp at speed or passing on highways. There is some initial sluggishness from a standstill in normal drive mode, but set it in Sport (simply another tap on the gear selector) and it adds the expected response from this engine/transmission. It handles very well. In hindsight I may have opted for the rear wheel steering option to improve handling (spent my $$ on the Year One, Prestige, and Luxury options) but even that option won’t make it a Porsche Macan. It is a 5k pound vehicle. After a month of ownership, I’m very pleased with my purchase. Feels upscale, drives great, and checks the boxes for practicality.

Audi Q8 - 19 month review
I purchased my Q8 late March '19. The vehicle has been amazing thus far and I do not regret the purchase. I have all of the options less the $5k stereo and night vision. I bought one off the lot that had just arrived with the major options I wanted: (Prestige, Lux Pkg, Year One, Adaptive Chassis, Tow Pkg, Cold Weather Pkg). I actually went to the dealer to test drive a Q7 and saw a Q8 in the showroom. Test drove one the next day and decided right then it was a Q8. Two months of intense research, learning as much as I could about the vehicle, and checking inventories, I made the purchase. The GREAT: Drives more like a car than an SUV. Handles great. Feels solid on the road and feels safe. The driver safety features are amazing. I fell in love with the interior on the first day - no other vehicle on the market (outside of Audi) has such a nicely integrated dash and technology. None! It looks nice. I've seen a handful on the road since I bought mine and they look great! The back seat space is huge - no complaints from any passengers. You feel pampered in this vehicle, for sure. Towing capacity is 7700 ibs. (Haven't towed with it yet.) The 'BAD': It is easy to go fast without even trying or realizing how fast you're going! I've hit triple digits making a simple pass and it was unintentional. Be careful with this vehicle or you'll get a ticket for sure! There isn't much cabin storage. There is no remote start (I guess it's illegal in Germany so they don't put it on their US imports either.) European models have self parking (via phone app) which is not on US models ?? That would be amazing. UPDATED REVIEW: OCT 2020 Still an amazing vehicle. No issues with the car. The MMI has blacked out once or twice but has come back on its own or after an MMI reset (holding down the volume knob for 10 seconds). I have just under 15k miles. Everything works well. Car still runs smooth and still feels solid with no rattles or squeaks. Fit and finish are excellent. As of this date, I would definitely buy this vehicle again.

Is this an Audi?
The turbo lag isn’t a lag - It’s an after-thought! It takes forever to respond. The oil-overfilled warning light has a faulty system design and Audi has TSB out about it, but no fix. The auto stop & start cuts off too quickly (while you are still rolling) and it starts up roughly. It adds to the huge turbo lag. The SUV is beautiful inside and out. Once you get rolling, the drive is wonderful! It does need a little more power and torque-say 30 more hp.

Q8, AMG GLE 53, vs X6
I drove, researched, and compared all 3 of these cars for a month. It quickly came down to the Audi or the Benz, while the X6 delivered a phenomenal drive, I just can’t get over the direction BMW has taken on its interior design and styling, which does not ring a European aesthetic.Also my previous X5 M did not age well, despite being routine maintenance and regular detailing, I just wasn’t willing to go back to BMW for this round. The Audi had caught my eye from the very beginning, there is nothing else quite like it on the road, other than the similar Lambo. The AMG has a striking exterior design which also captured my attention, until I opened the door. The cockpit with one long horizontal screen and row of 4 air vents just do not sit well with me nor read design or luxury to my eye. Huge disappointment, as it performed beautifully on the road, not too soft, but a heavy, tight grip and the driving assistance and safety options were my favorite of the 3, by a narrow margin. I just couldn’t get over having to look at the interior with its two dimensional horizontal and flat panel. All 3 brands delivered fantastic performance that were more than enough to keep me happy. I chose a well equipped Q8 premium plus S Line, and love the car more now than when I purchased it several months ago. Styling and design lead the others, I notice a lot of stares, it is not as common on the road as the BMW or the AMG. The car continues to amaze me and I still learn a new tech feature on the car occasionally, I agree mostly with the Edmunds review, especially on lack of storage and initial acceleration, Sport improves this, but it falls short of the BMW and AMG in this department. As I am mostly a highway driver, the Audi is a blast to drive. I don’t feel the review mentions the capabilities it deserves on its technology. The Audi sets a benchmark in the technology arena and the Audi pre- sense feature has already prevented what would have been a very bad accident, it performed like no other car I have ever driven or witnessed; to say the it’s execution was impressive is an understatement and I still get a chill thinking about my Q8 dodging the incident and stopping on a dime while I watched 3 cars directly in front myself pile into each other. I was told I was lucky to drive away without a scratch on myself or the car.. This is my first Audi, and it is not going to be my last.

Awesome Ride
The Q8 drives like a car with plenty of grip and a very comfortable ride. The interior is very quiet and the car rides so well even with 5 adults. It looks awesome. Audi did a great job with the design of this SUV. The power and torque could have been better but still the Q8 can go. I am really pleased so far.

Beautiful Color, Great Ride, Exhausting Technology
I jumped ship from 19 years of Lexus based on the design, color, comfort, etc on this new Galaxy Blue Q8. Too much to list on all the Pro's of this new vehicle, so I am just listing the con's in my opinion. I was ready to take this back to the dealer the first week that I had this due to the complication of all the electronics and tryin to get all my settings set. ( I am pretty computer savy working on these things for over 30 years ) The govt complains about texting and driving, try to figure out the complicated menu system while driving. Plus you can't adjust most things while you're driving. The interior cargo storage is a joke also. The only thing the phone charger is good for is heating up your phone and not even getting it charged. After spending a few weeks with this and getting some things figured out, I have come to like the vehicle a little better. I feel Audi shouldn't have made this so complicated, where's the easy button?

It was fate when I found the Q8
I’ve only had the Q8 a couple weeks, but consider me a big fan. No one will confuse your Q8 for one of the other cookie cutter midsize luxury SUVs. The car feels solid. It has a comfortable ride and handles well. Audi’s Multi Media Interface is user friendly. The 3 screens are easily accessible and the wireless Apple CarPlay is seamless. If you don’t need a 3rd row, it’s worth considering. I spent several months researching this class of vehicle. I couldn’t be more pleased.

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)

Supreme Road Trip Machine
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.

Enormous upgrade from Q5
As a prior owner of a 2018 Q5 , happy with that SUV model, the Q8 seemed a stylish upgrade with more space but I expected little else. The 2022 Q8 is in a totally different class. The comfort in the seats and ride is world class, the updated infotainment is huge (better resolution screens with touch), and the autonomous driving features are hugely improved (no more “wiggle to satisfy” nag, now you simply have to make contact with the wheel). Overall thrilled with the vehicle.

Smooth Operator
I traded in my 2015 Q7 for the Q8 about a month ago. I love almost everything about the Q8 with the exception of the following: 1. Throttle response can be a little frustrating around the city; 2. Inside storage is kinda Lilliputian - don’t even have a sunglasses compartment; 3. Technology can be intimidating - it slammed on the brakes while I was trying to make a left turn after it determined that I won’t make it. Other than those nitpicks, you can count all 32s while I’m driving. It’s such a sweet riding automobile.

AWESOME!!
I had a 2018 Q5 prestige which I loved. In 2019 I saw that this came out and wanted one. I ordered my Q8 prestige and finally after 7 months I got it! Love the look, interior, plenty of front and back seat space (im 6'2 and fit perfectly fine), the interior lighting and all the safety features. A few tiny things I don't like is the all piano black, very little center console storage, missing some features that BMWS have like self parking but love Audis interior look much better , and remote start which bugs me the most because is 2022. No Audis come with remote start. Was thinking about an enron but decided not ready for electric yet. Looking forward to enjoy my Q8 :)

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.
18 Months and 18k later. 2020Q8
Moved into this ride from my SQ5 as wanted a grander SUV. I was sceptical of full on touch screens as I liked knobs etc on SQ5 but have to say quickly adapted and thumbs up. Not so compelling is front storage- could have been assembled more practical- also miss the heated / cooled cup holders had in SQ5. Would have even bought the option. V6 Turbo 335hp is great…only sometime lags in drive mode off the line. Answer is Sport mode. Q8 is deceptively large- think it’s smaller but it’s not. Seats great- backseats as good and great efforts of room. Boot is fine for me and seats go down smoothly. Not sure all the barking about not enough room there. Have the big wheels and upgrade Black package and Sport pkg. All good. Like fact did not have to get some of the other frills like auto cruise and breaking - waste of money if you live in city with stop and go. Bang Olefson $5,500 stereo option a bust for me. That kind of money take it to a high end installer and rip up performance past their unit…which is great but $5500? Finally- price for value, yes expensive BUT get what you pay for overall.

Cool Coupe Styling Cue with Frameless Doors
Power is adequate. It delivers great looks combined with a refined ride and the best looking interior available. Love all the little details associated with the interior deign language. Safety features are exceptional. The MMI is intuitive, feature rich, and enables the driver to customize the lighting, Virtual Cockpit, and driving style with Audi Drive Select. The Luxury and Dynamic Packages add beautiful leather accents, wonderful massage seats, air suspension and rear wheel steering. Overall the vehicle delivers fantastic quality and huge value!
Something good and different from the rest.
Having had Mercedes GL and Lexus GX, I wanted to get a way from these mainstream brands (well, at least less mainstream). G8 is very stylish, and has that either you love it or hate it kind of design affair (similar to X6 or GLE). If there is any question on what package to get, definite go for the S line Plus, it is SICK. That is what sold me on the design. The different between S line Plus and non is night and day. Trust me, you'll want it. If not, it's just a Q7 that looks a bit different. The biggest downside of the Q8 is the minimal storage space. Or I should say the non-existent of storage space. In the center console storage, you can probably fit two smartphone and a couple packs of condoms. The glove compartment can fit a couple of sunglasses and a box of surgical masks. A couple of beanies in the flip down storage right in front of driver's left knee. BUT, who needs storage right? The rear seats are spacious, so is the trunk space. Wait, I forgot to mention the "russian-roulette" kick-open trunk. Out of the 30+ times we have tried, it managed to register TWICE. Even the sales manager at Audi managed to trigger it twice in five tries. Other than that, fabulous car! Get it, you won't regret it. The awesomeness will make you forget all the shortcomings!!!!!!

Two Design Faults
The Q8 is an excellent piece of engineering except for major safety faults. 1) The layout of the turn signal and cruise control levers is dangerous, a serious human engineering flaw. Any human engineering consultant will confirm why and how. I have never seen a similar bodged layout in any other vehicle. I don't understand why AUDI insists in carrying this mistake over year after year? 2) The turbocharger fails to respond when it is most needed. The delay when starting from a dead stop, almost got me killed at least once. The engine itself is very powerful and responsive. If only they would have stayed with their superchargers. Maybe it is time to go to the competition?

It’s a computer
It’s a large computer. It does what it wants. Never does the same thing twice. I just want to drive, not be programmed.
5 years of a very happy car ownership
I’ve had my Q8 for 5 years now and other than the tires being replaced earlier than expected and a faulty sensor in year 2, I couldn’t be happier. More power than I need, more luxury than I deserve, nicest ride I’ve experienced (compared to other cars in its class). Still going strong and looking great!

Love it
This is my third new Audi since 2019; first I had the S4 Sedan and loved it, but it was too low to the ground as I was coming from a truck. So I raded it in for an SQ5 sport back and unfortunately that wasn’t quite big enough for me so ended up with this third Audi; the Q8 and it’s a regular one not even an “S” model and it’s absolutely perfect. With the Q8 you don’t need the “S” - it’s plenty fast enough and it handles beautifully and it’s just absolutely perfect. I will continue with the Q8 for quite some time now updating it every two or three years for the newer model. As an FYI, I did rent through TURO an SQ8 on a recent West Coast visit and unfortunately as the SQ8 only comes with sports seats; my back ached after 30 minutes in the car so it’s just not an option for me. But again the regular Q8 has plenty of power and handles beautifully.

Be aware 2019 Audi Q8
Be sure you are aware of a fault light that will continue to come on-and may stay on. It is a warning light telling you your oil level is too high-instructing you to release some oil out out the oil chamber. The Audi specialist said it is a recent issue that Audi is acknowledging in some on the newer model cars. Moisture builds up in the oil chamber if you don’t drive the car far commonly enough to dissipate the moisture. The water moisture then triggers the “overfill” sensors, turning on a false warning light. The Audi specialist said, the engine was never at danger for oil spilling and cause any sort of damage. He is hoping Audi Motors will fix the problem. Very nice car. Weak launch at the star.

Old man's opinion.
#1Too complicated and dangerously distracting infotainment system. #2 Poor gas mileage in city drives even with very conservative driving techniques. #3 Solid and silky driving performance.
