What features does the Audi Q8 have?

Being the top-of-the-range Audi SUV model, the Q8 comes very well equipped from standard.

The base spec S-Line trim gets LED headlights, air suspension, leather sports seats and a massive three-screen infotainment system with a built-in sat-nav and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Additionally, you get both front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and a range of safety features.

Move up the range to the Vorsprung model and you can benefit from larger 22-inch alloy wheels, an extended leather interior, heated rear seats and an uprated B&O sound system.

Is the Audi Q8 reliable?

Being an Audi means the Q8 is a reliable car with strong build quality and a great selection of dependable engine options.

Being a very modern car, it's hard to say what it'll be like in years to come, but we have no doubt it'll follow the usual Audi trend.

Every Audi comes with the same three-year/60,000-mile warranty that can be transferred to subsequent owners.

Regarding safety, the Q8 is excellent, scoring a full five stars at its last Euro NCAP safety tests in 2019, proving significant protection for adult and child occupants.

This is thanks to ISOFIX, airbags all around, stability control and anti-lock brakes.

How much does the Audi Q8 cost to run?

A Q8 for sale is powered by a range of engines including petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and electric. Whichever you pick, you get a smooth automatic gearbox that partners well with all engines.

As this SUV weighs more than two tonnes, the engines have to work much harder than in a smaller, lighter car, which means fuel consumption isn't as good.

Saying that, the Q8 still manages to return decent claimed fuel economy, with up to 27.2mpg in the petrol and 34.9mpg in the diesel.

When it comes to car insurance, the Q8 sits at the top around insurance group 50, which is to be expected due to its price, size and luxury status.

Who is the Audi Q8 suitable for?

You should buy a used Audi Q8 if you want to stand out from the crowd in a practical large SUV, filled with tech and powerful engines.

It's more compelling than some other Audi models and has the added prestige you don't find in lesser brands.

Its closest rivals include the Mercedes-Benz GLE, BMW X6 and Range Rover Sport.
