2024 Audi RS Q8 review

1. Outstanding powertrain 

Driving doesn’t get much better than this. The RS Q8 has a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine, generating an impressive 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. The RS Q8 matches agility to that power output via its four-wheel drive system, high-performance brakes, and a sport-tuned adaptive air suspension for enhanced ride comfort and road handling. 

2. Premium interior comfort 

The 2024 RS Q8’s luxurious interior is all about your passengers’ comfort and convenience, with a long list of standard upscale features that elevate their ride enjoyment. Leather-upholstered seating is additionally heated and ventilated up front. The panoramic sunroof and rear window sunshades allow you to bathe in natural light, with the option of privacy and shade when you need it. Set the tone in the cabin with the multicolor ambient lighting and four-zone automatic climate control. 

3. Infotainment tech 

Enjoy seamless connectivity and passenger-pleasing tech features as standard with the RS Q8, keeping you in touch and entertained wherever the road takes you next. From the prominent 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment display, you can manage your favorite smartphone apps and media via Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ connectivity. System navigation keeps you moving in the right direction, while the premium Bang & Olufsen^® sound system is your gateway to an immersive audio experience. 

4. Advanced driver assistance 

This high-spec coupe-styled SUV includes plenty of driver assistance features as standard. On the highway, you’ll appreciate adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, and automatic high beams. For driving days with multiple stops, you can make use of the RS Q8’s surround-view cameras, front and rear parking sensors, and the rear passenger exit system that prevents accidental door openings into oncoming traffic. Available add-ons include a thermal imaging Night Vision Assistant feature and the Executive package’s automated parking system. 

5. Striking design 

The RS Q8 is hard to ignore, from its signature engine roar to its coupe-style silhouette. Exterior style features that complement this include a black honeycomb grille, RS badging, and dual oval exhaust tips. For more drama, look for an RS Q8 with available 23-inch wheels or models equipped with the optional Carbon package, for deep-black exterior accents.
