Today, we dive into the world of the Audi SQ8, a beastly Koopified SUV that's not your average run-of-the-mill ride. With a roaring twin turbo V8 engine churning out over 500 horsepower and 550 lbs of torque, this car means business. Built on the MLB Evo platform, shared with the likes of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe, the SQ8 boasts top-notch performance capabilities that can even tempt you to hit the track - though let's be honest, that's unlikely to happen.
Starting at a hefty 98 grand, the SQ8 offers a luxurious driving experience with standard air ride and rear wheel steering, making it a dream to handle on the road. Despite some minor updates for 2025, including a range of paint colors to choose from, the interior tech remains a bit dated with its dual screen setup that sacrifices practicality for style. And let's not forget the lack of storage space in the center console, which can lead to your belongings flying all over the place as you navigate those sharp corners.
When it comes to hitting the road, the SQ8 truly shines, delivering a refined performance that surprises even the most skeptical drivers. The team behind the wheel praises its handling, ride quality, and overall driving dynamics, comparing it favorably to the X5 M60. While the SQ8 may excel in certain areas, such as body control and steering feel, it falls short in terms of practicality and user-friendly features when compared to its BMW counterpart. Despite its drawbacks, including high ownership costs and rapid depreciation, the SQ8 remains a standout choice in the luxury SUV realm for those seeking a unique driving experience that sets them apart from the crowd.
