Used 2020 Audi SQ8 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Audi SQ8 comes in two trim levels. The Premium Plus includes a number of sumptuous features that cement its luxury SUV status. The Prestige trim takes things even further with advanced creature comforts. Both trims use the same turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (500 horsepower, 568 lb-ft of torque) with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. Highlight features include:

Premium Plus
Starts you off with:

  • 21-inch wheels
  • 15.8-inch ventilated front brakes and 13.8-inch ventilated rears
  • Adaptive air sport suspension
  • LED headlights and taillights
  • Heated and ventilated front sport seats with four-way power lumbar adjustment
  • Leather seating with contrasting diamond stitching
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Power-adjustable, heated steering wheel with paddle shifters

Technology and safety features include:

  • Navigation
  • 10.1-inch upper infotainment touchscreen and 8.6-inch lower touchscreen
  • Bang & Olufsen sound system
  • Multicolor ambient lighting
  • Top- and corner-view camera system
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Lane departure warning

Prestige
Takes all features in the Premium Plus and adds:

  • Power soft-closing doors
  • Heated rear seats
  • Head-up display
  • Traffic sign recognition
  • Adaptive cruise control with Traffic Jam Assist
  • HD Matrix-design LED headlights with full LED taillights

Main optional features and packages
Also available on both SQ8 Premium Plus and Prestige trims unless otherwise noted:

  • Black Optic package with dark exterior accents and summer performance tires
  • Intersection assist (issues warning at up to 18 mph if cross-traffic is detected)
  • Massaging front seats
  • Wi-Fi hotspot with subscription
  • Sport package with anti-roll stabilization and sport differential (Prestige only)
  • 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D Advanced Sound System (Prestige only)

Which SQ8 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The addition of a 500-horsepower V8 engine puts the SQ8 squarely into the realm of performance SUVs, and we feel obligated to squeeze as much performance from it as possible. That points to the Prestige trim and its available Sport package with anti-roll stabilization and a sport differential. Adding it will push the price into lofty $100,000 territory, but it's the purest form of the SQ8 and the one worth having in a crowded field of super-SUVs.
