What Owners are Saying About the 2026 Audi Q8
"Better than Competitors"
"Huge difference from my Lexus GX, but I LOVE IT!! This was the first car I test drove a year ago when I began my search and after several months of test driving every mid-size luxury SUV (literally), I came back to it. Audi really got it right with this crossover coupe. The Q8 provides the perfect combination of sportiness and utility without sacrificing ride comfort. Unlike its competitors, the Q8 is differentiated from its platform sibling and stands out from the rest of Audi's line up. Furthermore, the Q8 offered the most comfortable and luxurious ride when compared to GLE Coupe, X5, and X6. The infotainment setup is much more intuitive than the MBUX and BMW system and feels more modern than that of JLR. Overall, great purchase. I wish I could drive it more, but I have nowhere to go due to COVID."
"From the second I saw it....."
"I truly cannot say enough positive things about the Q8! I love the sporty and sleek exterior as well as The very techy interior. The car is very comfortable to sit in in the car drive super smooth. I’m really surprised how sporty and peppythe car is when you want it to be. When I bought the car I was also considering the Porsche Cayenne in the land rover Velar. As far as the exterior looks go, I’m really surprised at just how much the wheel dictates the look of this car. I chose the year one wheel and couldn’t be happier !!"
"Best Audi I have ever had!"
"I have had 19 Audis since 1973... this is by and far the best car I have ever owned. Plenty of power when needed, awesome safety features. Super comfortable, plenty of room, great drivers car. Can't say enough"
