Something that sets the Audi Q8 apart from its natural rivals is that it feels like its own vehicle.
Consider that the BMW X6 is essentially an X5 with a sloping roofline, while the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and Porsche Cayenne Coupe models follow a similar formula as derivatives of existing products.
By contrast, the Q8 was designed from the ground up to be a sporty SUV, and it does that particularly well in most respects.
However, after spending a week in both the latest Q8 TDI and SQ8, it’s fair to say both excel more as grand tourers than sport cars on stilts.
And that’s not a bad thing.
The Audi Q8 range was face-lifted in late 2024, with the revised models featuring a new octagonal grille with vertical inlays, prominent new side air intakes and HD Matrix LED headlights, among other upgrades and new colours and trim options.
