Audi Q8 (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Outlandish looks and huge presence	Very expensive to buy
Fabulous cabin quality	Audi doesn't usually perform well in reliability surveys
Satisfying to travel in for both the driver and their passengers	An Audi Q7 is the more practical, rational buy

Quick Summary

The Audi Q8 (2018-present) is a large, statement-making SUV coupe for those who want to stand out. Its primary appeal lies in its dramatic styling, huge road presence, and an impeccably crafted, high-tech interior. While its sloping roofline might suggest a compromise, it still offers ample space for adults in the rear and a generous 605-litre boot. However, buyers needing maximum practicality and seven seats would be better served by the related Audi Q7.

A range of potent V6 petrol and diesel engines, plus plug-in hybrid options, provide strong performance, crowned by the outrageously powerful SQ8. Despite its size, standard adaptive air suspension ensures a comfortable and civilised ride, making it a superb long-distance tourer. Ownership comes at a premium, with high insurance groups, significant road tax, and fuel economy that reflects its performance potential. It’s a car that delivers an epic sense of occasion for those with the budget to match.

Best for: Buyers seeking ultimate road presence, a luxurious high-tech cabin, and comfortable long-distance performance.

Not ideal for: The budget-conscious, those needing seven seats, or drivers concerned with high running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Q8 if: You want to make a statement with a stylish, luxurious, and high-tech SUV that excels at long-distance cruising.

Consider alternatives if: Your priorities are practicality (consider an Audi Q7), low running costs, or you're on a tighter budget.

Competitive Position: The Audi Q8 is a top contender in the premium SUV coupe segment, prioritising style, technology, and luxury over the outright practicality of its Q7 sibling. It stands out with its exceptional interior quality and comfortable ride, making it a compelling alternative to the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe for those who value cabin ambiance and road presence above all else.
