Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Handles very well for its size
Impressively comfortable too
Loads of infotainment tech

Cons
Muted engine sounds
Auto gearbox isn't the best
Lots of expensive optional extras

Audi has made no changes to the RS Q8 for 2021.

Pros
Mega-powerful V-8 engine,
nimble chassis,
styling is more restrained than the mechanically similar Lambo Urus.

Cons
Slower and more expensive than the RS6 Avant,
brake feel isn't particularly confidence inspiring,
not quite as poised as a Porsche.

The RS Q8 is unchanged for 2021.

Pros
Turbo V8 delivers devastating straight-line performance
Nimble, lively handling puts most sports cars to shame
Comfortable, well-trimmed interior

Cons
Infotainment system can be distracting to use
Limited interior storage
Less practical than the related Q7

The 2019 BMW Alpina B6 Gran Coupe belongs to the contemporary set of sloped-roof four-doors, combining the sporty look of a luxury coupe with the convenience of a sedan. Apple CarPlay support is now included.Based on the fourth 6 Series generation introduced for 2017.

Pros
Scintillating power and acceleration from the turbocharged V8 engine
All-wheel drive provides sure-footed traction
Lavishly trimmed and equipped interior
More exclusive than BMW M models

Cons
Coupe shape compromises backseat accommodations
Some may find the styling enhancements too subtle for the price tag
Subscription-based Apple CarPlay support
