@@Daniel-wm5pk yes more people have died this year so far here than the Israel and Russian war. Police don’t do anything. So if you’re in trouble you’re on your own. I made sure to comment so people know what could happen. It’s beautiful but imo it’s not worth visiting here unless you have security. An American was shot in the face a few days ago. Won’t get into details why.. they didn’t think he was a tourist because of his race
@@spookyreaper1702I always like people you who say don’t come here while I live here 😢😂 look there is crime everywhere , people get shot in each country , let people decide what they , they have google to get the bad and good info , not people like you who always like to spread propaganda and misinformation , because you wanna see South Africa’s fall so bad that you miss prior 94 soft life at the expense of others
This doesnt obivously apply to the SQ8 shown here. This is a EU spec car, registered to Ingolstadt, Germany (the home of Audi), so it comes with a GPF/OPF, that kills the sound of those cars. While on a trip to the US I heard a US-spec SQ7, they are significantly louder and better sonding due to not needing a GPF/OPF in the US.
@@Linda-jm2ez they do now I think because of stupid EU regulations and us wanting to be like them for some reason we have the same regulations. But some models like the 2021 M5/M8 sound much better than the versions from the EU. They actually pop and are loud.

Got to drive passenger in one in spain a few months ago. The feeling was super nice and the interior feels very good. Super quality ride and nice V8 sound 😊
the sq8 is definatelly in my top picks for an suv. But to me the true sq8 is the diesel from first gen. That was a torque monster. I love fast diesel suvs.
Agree with you...V8 diesel was a special one...even optional in Bentley Bentayga and Porsche Panamera...so sad that V8 diesels are gone....and so sad that V12 TDI never got the chance in A8 and R8...etc
@@alexluke84 the v12 tdi was a marvel but extreme nonthless, as was the v10 tdi. However the v6 an v8 diesels are wonderfull engines for family haulers, that are also logical.
The most beautifull car if its class in the most beautifull country! Absolutely awesome video guys! And the car is definetly better looking then before the facelift!
saw you drive back on Sunday on the highway, and you drive like a grandma with those Germany plates. :)))Cape Town is Sunday drivers all day, but you ,y friend are even slower. Give some noise to those pipes.
Wow, that sq8 sounded pathetic indeed lol. Driving an sq8 with an audi resonator is a whole different experience. Love it. And with the 22 inchers in dynamic mode, the car feels like is riding on rocks lol. Thought this was a video going full blast on the autobahn, oh well!
8:00 Was the acceleration of Audi SQ8 measured on an approx. flat piece of road or in a downhill as in 7:33? Showing the height/slope graph by Dragy (the performance report) would have cleared the previously mentioned.
Beautiful vehicle. Do you think the SQ8 would be as quiet or near as quiet in normal or comfort or quiet mode as the Q8 is? I appreciate the power, but for long highway drives I'd appreciate the quiet especially.
This car really doesn't look like SUV, at least on the photos. With this big wheels and all of the proportions it looks more like a really big hatchback rather than an SUV.
No mention of the RSQ8 when Audi recently in last couple of months in August 2023 announced updated Q8 and SQ8 with a link to details. It’s the same TFSI engine as the RSQ8 probably not tuned to produced as much BHP and torque and standard spec items like rear sport differential and active anti-roll standard on the RSQ8 have to be specified in the S Sport Pack with the SQ8. Has this now replaced the RSQ8 as the top high performance Q8? The caving head set for a fish eye wide angle camera are a sea-sick inducing and would produce better videos with multiple cameras stuck to the inside of the car as nobody else drives these on an Autobahn to demonstrate the performance.
Man i tried this car, i dont know why and how but when i was sitting inside, interior felt so small, im not a big guy, 178 tall a bit less than 80 kgs, its a Q8 and it was so weird...
Can't compare it to the Audi, I had the newest Q7 50tdi, now I have the X5 g05 30d, and I'll never buy an Audi again. BMW just has it better in every single way, the way it drives, acceleration, steering feel, seat comfort, multimedia... everything is better. Even the lights in the X5 are much better. I had the matrix in Audi, it wasn't bad, I liked them but after I tried bmws lights, I understood that it's just better, brighter.
Welcome to South Africa ❤❤❤ finally my favorite driver in SA 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
It's honestly my favorite place and the most beautifull country in the world! i've vistited for a month in february this year.
Whoever comes to visit please know there’s a lot of crime here. It’s beautiful but be safe
@@spookyreaper1702is it really that bad in south africa?

Finally they're in my country😍
Now you can finally see and hear how different and much better cars sound in our market.

Don't SA models also come with a GPF?

yes the cars sound better here...due to no useless GPF filter...one of the things weve lucked out on so far...@@Admonitor_

Welcome to the RUGBY WORLD CUP WINNING NATION😍😍😍😍😍😍
❤❤it's our Pleasure to Host you as Country... Pity we don't have The Autobahn here lol
What’s your opinion on the facelift?
It's a beautiful, luxury SUV.. enough power to make a statement when necessary
The best looking suv...😎
I think I'm 8 minutes in to a video of the world's most boring v8 suv, and I don't think I can finish.
*yawn* Audi, *yawn*.
Probably only SUV i would consider buying.
I believe the looks lost aggressivity but to look more futuristic and luxury.
As a regular viewer, I’m glad to finally have you in my country. Too bad we don’t have the Autobahn
Yes! Welcome to South Africa! I hope you got to explore more of this beautiful country 👏
Wow welcome to South Africa, I'm in Durban...✌️🇿🇦

Always liked the Q8 models 👌

OMG the beige one 😍
South Africa is the most beautiful country in the world.

Yeah! 4.08s seems too optimistic. I'm thinking 4.3-4.5
Hope to see you again in south africa we will be waiting
Welcome to South Africa 🇿🇦

love from cape town big fann❤❤❤❤
Great review vs the world

Welcome to South Africa
In South Africa there is more pot holes than road 😄 😆
sq8 is actually the same hardware as rsq8 and rs6, it tunes to 700hp
Welcome ❤. Unfortunately the highway limits you to 120Km/h 😢
This car really doesn't look like SUV, at least on the photos. With this big wheels and all of the proportions it looks more like a really big hatchback rather than an SUV.
welcome to SA
Wat is het verschil tussen deze en de rsq8?
