Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Audi SQ8 adds a heady dose of diesel performance to the regular Q8's style-led form, creating a compelling new variant in the Audi Sport range.

Pros
Enticing low rpm performance
Impressive dynamics for the size
Comfortable and quiet as a family SUV...
But able to transform itself when asked to angry-up

Cons
Not different enough from a cheaper Q8 inside
Minor wind noise interruption at highway speeds
Hides its size well on the open road, but not on city streets

By:

The SQ8 is new for 2020.Kicks off the first SQ8 generation.

Pros
Twin-turbo 500-hp V8 moves the SQ8 with authority
Four-wheel steering keeps the big SUV feeling nimble
48-volt hybrid system provides added acceleration from a standstill

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

By:

Put simply, the Audi SQ8 is one of the fastest diesel-powered SUV in the world and can be had with loads of high-tech kit. Sadly, lots of these features are reserved for top-spec Vorsprung cars.

Pros
Sports-car fast
Posh and spacious interior
Plenty of infotainment tech

Cons
Alternatives are more fun to drive
Cheaper Q8 50TDI makes more sense
Petrol-powered alternatives are more dramatic

Revised exterior styling.Larger touchscreen with a new infotainment system.More powerful four-cylinder engine.

PROS
Quiet, comfortable cabin features top-notch interior craftsmanship
Standard all-wheel drive
Wide array of technology options

CONS
Limited space for luggage behind rear seats

By: 
edmunds.com

The 2021 Audi Q5 crossover puts a new face on a best-selling formula that doesn’t show signs of getting old.

PROS
Chiseled looks
Great base engine…
…compelling performance engine too
Good standard safety features
Good touchscreen

CONS
Interior is a little bland
Plug-in hybrid fizzled for us
Not exactly revolutionary
Gets expensive in a hurry

By: 
thecarconnection.com

Pros
Feels very well-built
Lots of space for four
Comfortable and quiet

Cons
Not exciting to drive
Costly optional packs
Rear middle seat uncomfortable
