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
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
