2020 Audi Q8 Prestige 4dr SUV AWD w/55 TFSI (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

I’ve owned my Prestige Trim with the Luxury and Year One packages for about 4 months. Absolutely love it. Best styling out there for the “coupe style” SUVs, with the added benefits of a roomy second row and cargo area. Fit and finish of materials are superb quality. The vehicle handles very well, respecting its size. The power is more than adequate, with plenty of on ramp and passing power when you need it. If there is a weak spot, there is a bit of a quirk in the gearing and synchronization with the stop start system. At times, the vehicle can feel a little sluggish at very low speeds in the regular drive setting. I chalk this up to the EPA standards. Simply turn off the stop start or put the gearing in Sport mode and everything works as would be expected for the torque and HP of the engine. Read up on other consumer views of manufacturer stop start systems and you will see similar criticisms though. So, it’s not just an Audi or Q8 thing. I’m very happy with my purchase. Put it on your short list if you are looking at the handful of coupe SUVs. 2021 update— my Q8 continues to put a smile on my face. Fit and finish remains top notch, love the drive.

Have 3k on our gas q8. Mush accelerator, typical slow computer to get it moving. Same features as the Toyota I just rented in Florida but 3x the cost. Too gimmicky. No place for sunglasses, how hard is that Audi? My droid doesn’t charge in the cell holder which is behind my elbow in the console. So I carry around a charger in the glove box and I installed a cell holder. Had to wire my radar detector all the way to console to get 12 volts cause the car runs on 38 volts so I couldn’t go into the engine compartment. (Good luck if you need a jump). More road noise than my 2015 Dodge Ram; I.e. poor noise isolation in suspension even running tires at 26psi. Actually miss my 2014 Jeep grande Cherokee compared to this, which was quieter. Audi engineers need to graduate high school and think about the drivers and the layout. Suggest you really test drive it before you plop down $70k. Radio is painful. Yeah. It’s just OK if you’re trying to impress you neighbors. It tries to do everything I suspect to compete, but misses the point of driving. Oh well, three years and it’s getting replaced. Would like to see some real reviews here.

Q8, AMG GLE 53, vs X6

I drove, researched, and compared all 3 of these cars for a month. It quickly came down to the Audi or the Benz, while the X6 delivered a phenomenal drive, I just can’t get over the direction BMW has taken on its interior design and styling, which does not ring a European aesthetic.Also my previous X5 M did not age well, despite being routine maintenance and regular detailing, I just wasn’t willing to go back to BMW for this round. The Audi had caught my eye from the very beginning, there is nothing else quite like it on the road, other than the similar Lambo. The AMG has a striking exterior design which also captured my attention, until I opened the door. The cockpit with one long horizontal screen and row of 4 air vents just do not sit well with me nor read design or luxury to my eye. Huge disappointment, as it performed beautifully on the road, not too soft, but a heavy, tight grip and the driving assistance and safety options were my favorite of the 3, by a narrow margin. I just couldn’t get over having to look at the interior with its two dimensional horizontal and flat panel. All 3 brands delivered fantastic performance that were more than enough to keep me happy. I chose a well equipped Q8 premium plus S Line, and love the car more now than when I purchased it several months ago. Styling and design lead the others, I notice a lot of stares, it is not as common on the road as the BMW or the AMG. The car continues to amaze me and I still learn a new tech feature on the car occasionally, I agree mostly with the Edmunds review, especially on lack of storage and initial acceleration, Sport improves this, but it falls short of the BMW and AMG in this department. As I am mostly a highway driver, the Audi is a blast to drive. I don’t feel the review mentions the capabilities it deserves on its technology. The Audi sets a benchmark in the technology arena and the Audi pre- sense feature has already prevented what would have been a very bad accident, it performed like no other car I have ever driven or witnessed; to say the it’s execution was impressive is an understatement and I still get a chill thinking about my Q8 dodging the incident and stopping on a dime while I watched 3 cars directly in front myself pile into each other. I was told I was lucky to drive away without a scratch on myself or the car.. This is my first Audi, and it is not going to be my last.

I jumped ship from 19 years of Lexus based on the design, color, comfort, etc on this new Galaxy Blue Q8. Too much to list on all the Pro's of this new vehicle, so I am just listing the con's in my opinion. I was ready to take this back to the dealer the first week that I had this due to the complication of all the electronics and tryin to get all my settings set. ( I am pretty computer savy working on these things for over 30 years ) The govt complains about texting and driving, try to figure out the complicated menu system while driving. Plus you can't adjust most things while you're driving. The interior cargo storage is a joke also. The only thing the phone charger is good for is heating up your phone and not even getting it charged. After spending a few weeks with this and getting some things figured out, I have come to like the vehicle a little better. I feel Audi shouldn't have made this so complicated, where's the easy button?

I’ve only had the Q8 a couple weeks, but consider me a big fan. No one will confuse your Q8 for one of the other cookie cutter midsize luxury SUVs. The car feels solid. It has a comfortable ride and handles well. Audi’s Multi Media Interface is user friendly. The 3 screens are easily accessible and the wireless Apple CarPlay is seamless. If you don’t need a 3rd row, it’s worth considering. I spent several months researching this class of vehicle. I couldn’t be more pleased.
