Used 2021 Audi SQ8 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Audi SQ8 comes in two trim levels. The Premium Plus includes a number of sumptuous features that cement its luxury SUV status. The Prestige trim takes things even further with advanced creature comforts. Both trims use the same turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (500 horsepower, 568 lb-ft of torque) with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. Highlight features include:

Premium Plus
Starts you off with:

  • 21-inch wheels
  • Adaptive air sport suspension
  • LED headlights and taillights
  • Heated and ventilated front sport seats
  • Leather seating with contrasting diamond stitching
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Power-adjustable, heated steering wheel
  • Multicolor ambient interior lighting

Technology and driver aid features include:

  • Integrated navigation system
  • 10.1-inch upper infotainment touchscreen and 8.6-inch lower touchscreen
  • Digital instrument panel
  • Bang & Olufsen sound system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the SQ8 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

Prestige
Takes all features in the Premium Plus and adds:

  • Upgraded LED headlights and taillights
  • Power soft-closing doors
  • Heated rear seats
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the SQ8 and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the SQ8 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

Main optional features and packages
Also available on both SQ8 Premium Plus and Prestige trims unless otherwise noted:

  • Black Optic package (dark exterior accents and summer performance tires)
  • Massaging front seats
  • Towing package with 7,700-pound towing capacity with seven-pin connector
  • S Sport package (adds anti-roll stabilization and sport differential to enhance the SQ8's handling agility; Prestige only)
  • 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen surround-sound system (Prestige only)

Which SQ8 trim does Edmunds recommend?

You might as well go big and get the Prestige. It comes standard with some worthwhile advanced driver aids that are otherwise optional on the Premium Plus. It also offers a couple of optional extras not offered on the Premium Plus, such as the S Sport package and advanced Bang & Olufsen sound system.
