SQ8 - loads of fun

About 3K miles into my 2023 SQ8 Premium+ with black optic and executive package and I love driving this car. I love the solid feel of this audi - great acceleration and handling in the different modes. This is 100% a driver's car. I enjoy it much better while driving on an open freeway than around town because i get to open it up much more on the roads here in the region. The car is my daily driver, but it's my "machine" on the weekends. Pros: Style, fun to drive, solid and quiet with on-demand power when you want it. Good technology in the cockpit and so many other things! Cons -Gas Mileage - I am sure I can drive it more efficiently, but it is so much fun to put the pedal down and open her up once in while. -wireless charger heats my phone up, which disconnects it from car play and is slow-charging so i mostly use the cord. -want more options for driver seat positioning. Bolsters are great, but would appreciate the ability on cushion bolters to open up wider. If I were to order it again I would....Opt in for the prestige trim, to get the additional options like sport suspension and B&O advanced sound system - would have only been 5-6% more on cost. Overall - 3rd Audi and my favorite so far!

If you like the Q8, you'll love the SQ8

Traded in my Q8 for the SQ8. I always said the Q8 is the "coupe" SUV for those who don't buy into the "coupe" SUV - the SQ8 offers the same luxury experience plus a sweet V8 and trick suspension just because. Pros: The power, obviously. If you can find a good stretch of road, the SQ8 rips through the gears at an incredibly smooth and alarming rate. The V8 noise ensures that it never gets old. It handles better than the standard Q8, yet the ride quality is 95% as good (the Q8 had 21" wheels while my SQ8 has 22"). Well-built/designed, comfortable, and spacious interior befitting of a six figure German car. Really good driver assistance pack - better than my '19 Q8 and almost as good as a 2022 S Class I recently drove. Cons: Hilariously useless storage compartments. TPMS doesn't actually tell you how much air your tires have (pretty sure Honda offers that on the Civic) - it just screams at you that one of them has a "loss of pressure". Much like the Q8, transmission isn't always at the ready when you stab the throttle - less of an issue in dynamic mode. Even after 3+ years, the infotainment is still distracting and many features are locked out while driving. Bottom line: I put 40,000 miles on my last Q8 with only minor electrical glitches along the way. The SQ8 offers more of the same experience without having to second guess whether you can overtake the car in front.

This beauty has unbelievable power and makes a statement no matter where we go !! 0-60 in 4 seconds 💕 Love the interior with upgraded leather seats and sound system. I’ve owner the Porsche Cayenne, Cadillac Escalade and many others over the years but this amazing SUV is hands down the best.

Short and simple… drives like a tank accept no cars can beat you on the road regardless of the road conditions. The infotainment system could be a little more responsive but it is not a deal breaker. This review is coming from a guy who drove BMW since 2004. Of course I missed my x5 2019 but the sq8 is the beast I am in love with drive of this car. I have 2 kids, 2 car seats and never ran out of spec.

if you are in the market for a large luxury sporty performance oriented SUV that competes with the likes of the Porsche Cayenne GTS look no further....and for $25K less. Very fast. Very nimble with all-wheel steering. Excellent visibility. Beautiful style and workmanship with a detuned Lamborghini 500 hp motor. For the car enthusiast looking for a large SUV this is nirvana.
