Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Iconic exterior design
Luxurious interior
Powerful engines
Commendable off-roading capabilities

Cons
Hard to get in and out
Not as much cargo space as expected
Unavailable with latest infotainment tech
Clumsy handling on pavement

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
A box-shaped rocket ship,
boosted performance doesn't compromise off-road prowess,
a millionaire's Jeep.

Cons
Boxy shape makes it overly noisy on the highway,
cornering is not a strong suit, high cost makes scratching it more concerning.

The Audi Q8 is a two-row SUV that radiates sportiness and luxuriousness.

Pros
Athletic enough to satisfy enthusiasts,
refined enough to coddle passengers,
great mix of luxury and technology.

Cons
Lower touchscreen can divert attention,
feels sluggish in city driving,
people-and-cargo room sacrificed to style.
