Overview

The 2025 RS Q8 lives at the top of the Audi SUV pecking order as the most powerful and luxurious SUV the brand offers. Based on the excellent if more pedestrian Q8, the RS Q8 cranks the performance up to 11 with a 631-horsepower V8, massive tires and an air suspension. It's modestly refreshed for 2025 with more aggressive front and rear ends. It's also less practical than more conventionally shaped SUVs without its foreshortened roofline.

Edmunds spotlight: New Performance trim adds even more silliness

Last year, the RS Q8 produced 591 hp. Apparently, that's not quite enough for some hyper-SUV owners because Audi is adding the 631-horsepower Performance trim to the RS Q8 lineup for 2025. It's the same turbocharged V8 but modified even further by the engineers in Ingolstadt. Carbon-ceramic brakes are standard on the Performance trim as are lightweight 23-inch wheels. Audi says all 2025 RS Q8s sold in the United States, in fact, will be the Performance version. Want to know more? Check out our 2025 Audi RS Q8 First Drive article.

Competitors to consider

There are only a few SUVs — or cars, for that matter — that can match the RS Q8's outrageous performance. Among them are the Porsche Cayenne Coupe, which shares both the Q8's platform and its shorter roofline. There's also the BMW X6 M and the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S. If your desires run more flamboyant, the Lamborghini Urus is another great option.

Which RS Q8 does Edmunds recommend?

There's only one trim level for the 2025 RS Q8, but if you're after a super-fast SUV, its 631-horsepower V8 will slap down all but the most ludicrous SUVs, not to mention many sports cars. Of the few options available, we'd recommend the 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system and the RS Sport exhaust system to make the RS Q8 sound great inside and outside.

The overall sentiment for the 2025 Audi RS-Q8 is mixed. Owners love how fast and comfortable it is to drive, and they say it feels like a sports car. They also like the smooth ride and beautiful design. However, some owners are frustrated that it doesn't come with tires suitable for snowy areas, which means extra effort to find and buy winter tires.
