Used 2020 Audi Q8 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Audi Q8 is a two-row midsize luxury SUV that comes standard with all-wheel drive, an adaptive suspension, and many safety features and infotainment functions. It's available in three trims. Even the base Premium model comes well-equipped. The Premium Plus includes additional luxury equipment, while the Prestige offers a few exotic technology features.

The Q8 is available with only one engine: a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that produces 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. It's connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a 48-volt mild hybrid system that enhances stop-start functionality while giving the Q8 a little extra push off the line. Buyers looking for extra punch can check out the V8-powered SQ8 and RS Q8, which are reviewed separately.

Standard feature highlights for the Premium trim include an adaptive suspension, a hands-free liftgate, a panoramic sunroof, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning with low-speed automatic braking. Inside you'll find Audi's Virtual Cockpit digital gauge cluster display, three-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, leather upholstery, two touchscreen displays, and Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay.

The Premium's Convenience package brings a wireless charging pad, auto-dimming exterior mirrors, a blind-spot monitor, and Audi's Pre Sense Rear system that helps mitigate the effects of a rear-end collision.

The Premium Plus trim adds more luxury features such as front-seat ventilation, four-zone climate control, a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, additional LED ambient lighting, a surround-view parking camera, and the contents of the Convenience package.

Premium Plus buyers can specify the Driver Assistance package for making highway driving easier. It adds adaptive cruise control and lane departure intervention.

Prestige models come with the Driver Assistance package, plus a head-up display, a different LED headlight design, extended leather upholstery, power rear sunshades and touch-sensitive controls.

Other option packages to be on the lookout for include the Cold Weather package, an Adaptive Chassis package (air suspension and rear-wheel steering) and, for the Prestige only, a Luxury package that includes premium cabin materials and upgraded front seats. Several styling packages also slightly alter the Q8's exterior design.

Which Q8 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base Premium trim level comes with plenty of features but we suggest paying a little bit more for the mid-level Premium Plus. Its extra features, such as an additional adjustable climate zone and customizable ambient lighting, enhance the cabin's comfort and cool factor. The Premium Plus also opens the door to the Driver Assistance package — required if you want adaptive cruise control — and the optional air suspension.
