About the Audi SQ8
The Audi SQ8 4.0 TFSI serves as the bridge between the standard Q8 and the hardcore RS Q8, offering a more balanced approach to performance. Powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 shared with the Bentley Bentayga and Lamborghini Urus, it delivers effortless acceleration and a refined exhaust note. The model features standard all-wheel steering and adaptive air suspension, which helps mask its significant mass during spirited driving. As a 'coupe-SUV', it prioritises style and presence, featuring a sloping roofline and the signature octagonal Singleframe grille.
