2025 Audi Q8 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

Audi offers the 2025 Q8 in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. A turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, aided by a 48-volt hybrid assist system, produces 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. It's the only engine available, and it's attached to an eight-speed automatic transmission powering all four wheels. If you have the need for speed, Audi also produces the related SQ8 and RS Q8, each powered by a potent turbocharged V8.

Standard equipment in Premium trim includes:

  • 21-inch wheels
  • Matrix-design LED headlights
  • Dynamic front and rear turn-signal animation
  • Heated, power-folding and auto-dimming exterior mirrors
  • Adaptive suspension (improves ride comfort and handling)
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Digital gauge cluster (Audi's Virtual Cockpit Plus)
  • Three-zone automatic climate control
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Dual-touchscreen infotainment system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • Audi Connect services

Every Q8 also has these standard safety systems:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Q8 and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane at speed)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Automatic high-beam assist

The Q8 Premium is available with a Convenience package that adds:

  • Wireless charging pad
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Q8 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

The Q8 Premium Plus includes the contents of the Convenience package, plus:

  • Front seat ventilation
  • Four-zone climate control
  • 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system
  • Upgraded interior ambient lighting

An Executive package is available for the Premium Plus, adding:

  • Heated rear seats
  • Power rear side window sunshades
  • Manual tailgate sunshade
  • Dual-pane side window glass for a quieter interior

The Q8 Prestige models include the Executive package plus:

  • Adaptive air suspension with comfort tuning
  • Laser headlights
  • Soft-close doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
  • Head-up display
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Massaging front seats
  • Upgraded leather upholstery
  • Intersection assist (applies the brakes automatically to stop the vehicle to avoid or minimize a collision with cross traffic at an intersection)

Audi offers a Luxury package for the Prestige, which includes:

  • Additional leather trim on upper door panels
  • Synthetic suede headliner

Exclusive options for the Q8 Prestige include:

  • All-wheel steering
  • 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system
  • Night vision camera (displays an infrared image of the area in front of the vehicle to assist while driving at night)

All three versions of the Q8 are available with a tow hitch (7,700-pound towing capacity). The base Premium trim offers the Black Optic package (darker 22-inch wheels and black exterior accents), while sporty S line packages (illuminated doorsills and unique exterior trim and grille) are available on the Premium Plus and Prestige trims.

Which Q8 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend opting for the top Q8 Prestige trim. If you're in the market for Audi's flagship SUV, go for the fully loaded top trim level. It only requires a modest price increase and comes equipped with almost every feature offered. The Prestige trim also gives you access to the Luxury package and exclusive stand-alone features.
