2025 Audi Q8 Review: For Those Who Demand More

March 31, 2025

Overview

In today’s crowded field of luxury SUVs, the 2025 Audi Q8 stands tall figuratively. Sophisticated yet athletic, it offers a commanding presence on the road and a driving experience that blends power, precision, and comfort. Whether you’re upgrading from an Audi Q5 or seeking a more capable premium crossover, the Q8 delivers an uncompromising take on modern luxury.

This isn’t just an evolution of Audi’s design language it’s a bold redefinition of what a high-performance SUV can be.

Performance: Great Power and Capability

Under the hood, the Audi Q8 packs a potent 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine, delivering 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque (about 500 Nm). This refined powerplant launches the Q8 from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds, or roughly 5.6 seconds to 100 km/h, offering spirited acceleration in a vehicle that feels both solid and nimble.

Paired with an 8-speed Tiptronic® transmission and Audi’s legendary quattro® all-wheel drive, the Q8 handles curves and climbs with ease. Unlike smaller SUVs like the Audi Q5, the Q8 features all-wheel steering—a technology that turns the rear wheels to tighten turning circles at low speeds and increase stability at higher ones. It’s a feature that makes maneuvering this midsize SUV feel like handling something much smaller.

The available towing capacity of up to 7,700 lbs (3,493 kg) means the Q8 is as practical as it is luxurious, ready for trailers, boats, and weekend getaways alike.

Exterior: Strength Meets Style

Visually, the 2025 Q8 captures attention with its wide stance, coupe-like roofline, and signature Singleframe® grille. The available Black Optic package gives it a sharper, more aggressive look with 22″ graphite gray wheels, anthracite Audi rings, and black exterior trim, setting it apart from other luxury crossovers on the road.

The lighting system also makes a bold impression. HD Matrix-design LED headlights and available Audi laser light technology not only offer incredible visibility, but also add futuristic flair to the Q8’s road presence. These features mark a step up from smaller models like the Audi Q3 and Q5, emphasizing that this SUV plays in the big leagues.

Interior: A First-Class Cabin Experience

Step inside the Q8 and you’re welcomed by a space that prioritizes comfort without sacrificing modern aesthetics. Individual contour front seats, standard on the Prestige trim, are upholstered in premium Valcona/Cricket leather and include a massage function—making every commute or road trip a pleasure.

Compared to compact luxury SUVs like the Audi Q5, the Q8 offers more space, more features, and an unmistakable upscale feel. Rear-seat passengers enjoy generous legroom, available heated seats, and a cabin that feels light, open, and serene. And despite its sleek profile, the Q8 retains impressive cargo capacity, perfect for families, travelers, or anyone with an active lifestyle.

Technology That Thinks Ahead

Audi has long been a leader in automotive tech, and the 2025 Q8 raises the bar even higher. The Audi virtual cockpit plus, a 12.3” HD digital display, puts vital information front and center with customizable layouts. Complementing this is the MMI® touch response system, which uses two touchscreens with haptic feedback to control everything from navigation to climate settings, providing smartphone-like responsiveness with automotive-grade design.

The available Bang & Olufsen® 3D Advanced sound system takes in-car audio to the next level, delivering 1,920 watts through 23 strategically placed speakers. It’s immersive, powerful, and precisely tuned ideal for music lovers who appreciate the finer things.

Connectivity is seamless with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, while Audi connect CARE® adds remote access, safety features, and peace of mind no matter where the road takes you.

Safety & Driver Assistance: Confidence Comes Standard

The Q8 doesn’t just look out for you—it actively supports you. Adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance helps manage speed and steering, making long drives less tiring. The top view camera system with Virtual 360 view makes parking and tight maneuvers feel easy, while Remote park assist plus can handle the job for you even if you’re outside the vehicle, using the myAudi app.

Optional features like the Night vision assistant use thermal imaging to identify pedestrians and animals at night, while Intersection assist, standard on the Prestige trim, helps prevent cross-traffic collisions with timely alerts and brake support. Together, these technologies make the Q8 one of the most intuitive and secure vehicles in the luxury SUV market today.
