Cons Not different enough from a cheaper Q8 inside Minor wind noise interruption at highway speeds Hides its size well on the open road, but not on city streets
The SQ8 is new for 2020.Kicks off the first SQ8 generation.
Pros Twin-turbo 500-hp V8 moves the SQ8 with authority Four-wheel steering keeps the big SUV feeling nimble 48-volt hybrid system provides added acceleration from a standstill

Cons Limited off-road capability Too large for some garages
