Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Hellcat-powered Durango is all-new for 2021. However, the hugely powerful SUV is only scheduled for a single year of production. While the company pulled a similar move with the highly hyped and limited-edition Challenger SRT Demon, we hope strong sales and enthusiast interest will prolong this devilish Durango's life.

PROS
A three-row SUV with 700-plus horses,
as quick as a 797-hp Hellcat Challenger,
surprisingly deft handling for its size.

CONS
Precipitous price tag,
miserable fuel economy,
omnipresent supercharger whine can get annoying.

By: 
caranddriver.com

PROS
Stupefying acceleration and speed
Excellent infotainment system
Theatrical exhaust sounds

CONS
Novelty can wear off in day-to-day use
Frightening fuel consumption
Still feels outdated

By: 
cnet.com

Pros
Large touchscreen tech interface is one of the best in class
Strong V8s provide exceptional towing ability
Real off-road capabilities with 4WD and low-range gearing

Cons
Fuel economy is below average, especially with the V8s
Many of the latest advanced driver safety features don't come standard
Bigger and bulkier to drive than rival crossover SUVs

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Handles very well for its size
Impressively comfortable too
Loads of infotainment tech

Cons
Muted engine sounds
Auto gearbox isn't the best
Lots of expensive optional extras

By:

Audi has made no changes to the RS Q8 for 2021.

Pros
Mega-powerful V-8 engine,
nimble chassis,
styling is more restrained than the mechanically similar Lambo Urus.

Cons
Slower and more expensive than the RS6 Avant,
brake feel isn't particularly confidence inspiring,
not quite as poised as a Porsche.

By: 
caranddriver.com

The RS Q8 is unchanged for 2021.

Pros
Turbo V8 delivers devastating straight-line performance
Nimble, lively handling puts most sports cars to shame
Comfortable, well-trimmed interior

Cons
Infotainment system can be distracting to use
Limited interior storage
Less practical than the related Q7
