2022 RS Q8 trim level differences

Audi packages the 2022 RS Q8 one way: well equipped. Everything is standard aside from a handful of stand-alone upgrades and option packages. A twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (591 horsepower, 590 lb-ft of torque) lives under the hood, transferring its output to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Standard equipment highlights include:

  • 22-inch alloy wheels
  • High-performance brakes
  • Sport-tuned adaptive air suspension (enhances handling and ride comfort and can adjust the vehicle's ride height)
  • Four-wheel steering (enhances the RS Q8's maneuverability and agility)
  • High-definition LED headlights
  • Power liftgate
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Multicolor ambient cabin lighting
  • Heated, power-folding side mirrors
  • Four-zone automatic climate control

  • 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment display
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Connected services
  • Satellite radio
  • Navigation system
  • Bang & Olufsen premium sound system

Besides speed, safety is also on the RS Q8's menu:

  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Rear passenger safe-exit system (can prevent a rear passenger from opening a door into traffic approaching from behind)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the RS Q8 and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the RS Q8 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Front and rear parking sensors

Aside from design-related Black Optic, Carbon Optic and RS Design option packages, the RS Q8 offers two main collections of extras:

  • Executive package
    • Dual-pane noise-reducing windows
    • Power soft-closing doors
    • Heated rear seats
    • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
    • Intersection Assist (identifies unsafe situations at intersections and can automatically brake the Audi)
    • Traffic sign recognition (reads traffic signs and can adjust vehicle speed accordingly)
  • Luxury package
    • Front massaging seats
    • Simulated suede headliner
    • Leather-wrapped armrests, dashboard and center console
    • Rear window sunshades

Other stand-alone options include:

  • Upgraded 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system
  • Night Vision Assistant (displays thermal imaging to help with night driving)
  • Carbon-ceramic brake rotors
  • Towing package (7,700-pound capacity)

Which 2022 RS Q8 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Audi offers the 2022 RS Q8 in a single level of specification, so your choices are largely limited to paint colors, wheel designs, interior hues and other cosmetic enhancements. Still, Audi does offer a few option packages and individual upgrades that help you to tailor the RS Q8 to specific preferences.
