Overview

The 2024 Audi Q8 makes for an excellent contender in the midsize luxury SUV. With 3 trims on offer, the Audi Q8 has a base MSRP of $72,995, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $83,895, competing directly with the 2024 Porsche Cayenne, the 2024 BMW X6, and the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450. Only a 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine supported by a 48-volt hybrid system is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, the Audi Q8 maintains a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. Audi offers the Q8 in 7 stunning colors, with the Dragon Orange Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Audi Q8 is a premium midsize luxury SUV based on the successful Audi Q7. It does not offer the same level of practicality as the Q7 but comes out as a good package for those who want a more comfortable SUV. The interior of the Q8 feels opulent and the quality of the materials is top-notch. The performance is quite good but the acceleration feels a bit laggy when you start it from a standstill. The 2024 Audi Q8 is expected to bring a refresh to the design of the Audi Q8 making it an even better package.
