I just ordered a 2023 and I am excited. I have been watching every Q8 video on RUclips and love hearing everyone's experience. I've only seen one Q8 consistently in my neighborhood but it is an older model and darker color.
Lucky you. I want to order that too
Awesome review. I am getting one in a couple months and your review pretty much seal the deal for me. So thank you for that.
*BRO THIS IS MY DREAM CAR WORKING HARD FOR IT, TNX 4 THE VID*
My ‘21 Q7 has absolutely no lag from start and the stop/start system works flawlessly. Good overview and glad to hear year one has been so positive.
This is such a beautiful car I want one so badly
Go get 1 I just found a 2020 with 40k miles they are affordable now
This video was so practical! Really very informative and easy going, thanks for the upload Mate.
I have a fully loaded 2022 Q3... I love Audi... this WILL be my next car!!! This is beautiful! Great video!!!
Great review ,Thank you!!!
Great review !
I have a 2019 Q8 too. They performed a recall fix on mine that fixed the stop start delay. So much better now!
Software fix improved mine as well.. I may do a tune to mine.. It needs a couple more ponies 😎
Thinking about getting one. Are the software issues a common problem with these vehicles?
@@GMacII after 2 years of ownership, no software glitches at all. Very happy with the drive.
@@shunt8084 what’s the reliability like with these? Do u have to replace something significant?
My Q8 was very reliable, no issues. The biggest “issue” for some is that there are very few buttons, so you will low ratings for Infotainment by some reviewers. But the touch screens are very responsive, and many functions can be accessed via steering wheel controls and voice if need be. Personally, I never really need to change the climate control if set on Auto.
Awesome review
trading my grand Cherokee to this in couple months, so exciting to see how this review turns out.
why you didn't get the upgraded headlights with the lines in them
Good review. Do you have the air suspension?
Thank you for including the night video. I have looked at a ton of reviews and it is my first time seeing it. WOW!. It has a stunning cockpit. Thanx for sharing. I am looking at an RS model for purchase
Get ready for it's incredible speed and the mph circle is designed differently
Did you receive your rs q8 yet? I just placed an order about a month ago. They are now taking 10-12 months for delivery 😭
@@ESMorg I waited too late. Car prices for that vehicle are waaaaay too much. I will wait. I am crossing my fingers for you. I want one so bad. I can't afford the current markey. Maybe if I change careers
@@DreadinNY broo tell me about it!! I placed an order and the market price is up $40k. For brand new ones..so if they say $142k online.. its $182k. Surprised the shit out me 😭 mines is $176k without tax. Probably $190k with tax. But luckily im only needing to put $10k down and payments around $2400 a month. Just under $29k a year. So after a year i’ll be outta pocket $39k for it.. Thats how i look at cars to make em seem more affordable lol plus I’ll probably turn it to an asset years down the road and use it for car rentals or sum.. who knows
@@ESMorg Too rich for my blood
Can you have the interior illumination turn on as soon as you open the door when you unlock the car or do you have to start the car and then it kicks on?
Firstly, thank you for sharing your wonderful experience, which we have benefited from, of course. I own the same car, model 2023, and I would like to ask you about the brakes, and I hope you will answer in all honesty. Do you hear the sound of the brakes during a complete stop, especially at traffic lights? Thank you very much.
San Carlos guy nice! I’m looking at the SQ8 rather any thoughts on upgrading?
Should I buy the extended maintenance?
Whats the cost of ownership? I'm looking into getting one
What's your thoughts 5 years later? Still have it? Have any issues?
Awesome car
Hello there is this a premium, premium plus or prestige?
It’s 2024 do you think the car is out dated? Comparable to the vehicles that are available right now
Hey! Great video! One thing you mentioned that nobody else mentioned in their video was the gas saving ... the way the car turns off while fully stopped and then turns back on when you accelerate, is that an option we can decline and just have it the "regular" way without the car turning off at a complete stop? I don't think its safe.. it makes me feel like its so bad for the engine to keep on turning on and off.. im looking for a new vehicle coming from a jeep wrangler. I am in love with this vehicle but after you mentioning the turn on and off feature... I got sad. Lol. Thank you for the video again!
it has a button to turn that feature off if you don’t want it
all cars come with this feature now, do you live in the mountains, without internet?
Got the 2020 Q8 Sline.Premium plus.. 😍
3yrs later what's the verdict was it amazing ..Im looking at a used 1 in 2024
Nice car! Now driving an A6 but I ordered a Q8 60 TFSIe and looking forward to it! Just a remark: you say you can push the gear selector handle to the right to put it in sport mode, but that seems wrong. Pushing it to the right puts it in manual mode.
Pulling it down puts it in Sport mode, alternating with Drive mode if you pull it down again.
You are correct my friend
what is the maintenance cost like?
Try put transmission into S when you're going to accelerate fast. It works on Golf, will probably work on Q8 as well lol
Great video...I love my 2019 Q8 in December 2019 too.......don’t see as many in my city as well.
Same have been driving mine since October 2019 love it!
Hi. How is your Audi Q8 now?
I just bought 1 yesterday
Is it Premium Plus or Prestige?
Hi Cody, whats your feedback after 3 years of having it? Im planning to buy one and I want to know what to expect... engine, electronics, suspension, brake and tyre consumption?
Thank you!
Any Audi RS or performance model I’ve been told by many in some cases by experienced engineers at Audi is that you shouldn’t drive it in start stop mode.
базар жок керемет машина
Would you please share some experience.
😍
Approaching 2 years now, how has it been? How has the maintenance cost been? Sexy Car!!!!
Ihave q7 2018. For me personally. The interior aint bad of q7
Hey ..I have a question, how do you turn on the doors ambient lighting? I have tried almost everything but the door lights does not turn on but rest works fine. Wondering if you know I have the same model
Dude, didn’t you watch the video? Lighting: @1:48
@Ronny Y I did..but the door lights never illuminates..not sure if this is a part of some package that includes the door lights illumination as mine doesn't..it only illuminates when there is someone in the blind spot and I turn indicator on..I want it to be on all the time like in this video at 1.48
@@deepindermann ah ok understood 🤷🏻♂️
How is the reliability/maintenance like so far?
Not as cheap as Japanese models. Can save some if you buy AudiCare, or have an independent mechanic. At 30k, had to replace front brakes, pads and rotors. $1,500. Ouch! But it is a fast 5k pound vehicle, so physics matter. Rear brakes fine. All that said, I love it, drives great.
1) Reliability: Subpar on our 2019 for the 3 years we had it. Electronic gremlins galore in the 3rd year.
Biggest repair was the alternator. Mild-hybrid system acts as the alternator, and as indicated by its poor calibration on throttle tip-in: mild-hybrid system is far from refined. Alternator went, Audi had parts shortage, wound up being stuck in service center. Under warranty so no cost to us, but had it been out of warranty, firmly a day (week, month) ruiner.
2) Maintenance: Expected for German cars, it's pricey. Generally warranted, but Audi made some notably consumer-unfriendly engineering choices. Changing oil filter requires taking off air filter, disconnecting intake manifold... for a 3.0L engine lol. Extra work comes with extra labor costs, unless you DIY. Brakes & rotors are $$ and wear fast because of its weight (~30k miles, just like previous commenter). If you get the 22" wheels, non-linear price increase over smaller size tires. Availability lower, price higher. And ofc, larger tires wear faster, especially on heavier vehicles. 21" are the sweet spot in style:sidewall ratio.
MPG also oddly poor. 3.0L engine + mild-hybrid should be more efficient. BMW X5 is a similar weight, yet its 3.0L I6 trim is more efficient (3mpg better in city, 5mpg hwy) even without a mild-hybrid system. In fact, the bi-turbo V8 X5 with 100+hp/tq more than the Q8 gets the same mpg...
Most shopping in the segment prob won't care about a couple mpg, but if nothing else, sign of mechanical/ tuning inefficiencies.
All that being said, loved ours despite its problems. Lease, buy new, used with warranty + diligent maintenance history... I'd say worth the dice roll.
which mode burn less gas, I just got the 2021 q8 and the gas burns crazy fast.
You drive to fast!
Damn not getting that bitch then
Hello Sir, can You please share the reliability after 3 years? Thank You
Still running strong. I'm near the end of my lease. Next up is going to be the new Rivian truck!
@@codysworld6363
Definitely not a good move🤦🏻♂️

I need one of these.
Can you permanently disable Auto Start/Stop?
other Audis it's not possible, so I'll assume it's also not possible in the Q8. Unless, maybe, you get one of those vagcom tool things, whatever it is.
Cody, you have a button on the dash to turn off the auto start stop. It's horrible onnAudis and we all suffer due to their EU regs. Nonethe less turn it off or get a chip that disables it. No more problem. Audi claims to have made this more seemless in 2021models and hybrids.
If you get the chip to disable it or just press the button to disable it does a light come on the dash saying that the feature was disabled or is it as if nothing happened
I see a lot of Q8's. Which package did you go with?
No you don't. You're lying 100%
191 Phone calls 4:42... You must be important, Guv'Na!!!
Does it have wireless CarPlay?
My 2021 Q8 does have wireless CarPlay, but I’m in the UK.
Yes the 2021 Q8's have wireless apple car play
Yes, my 2019 Q8 doe shave wireless apple car play.
Here in Boulder they're EVERYWHERE
Om Sa Ra Va Na Ba Va 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Cody, does your Q8 's transmission felt like it is slipping around 2nd or 3rd gear? I made a video here (ruclips.net/video/JLbUc7QLlu0/видео.html&ab_channel=RuichenWang) and please take a look when it shifted into 3rd gear where the speed is climbing but rpm stayed the same.
Never seen plastic buttons under the second screen and hand brake button .I got them aluminium which look much better and more expensive imo
Yep here it's called "control buttons glass and aluminum look" (or something to that extent).
Also, there is an option to have a lid to close the front cup holders and make it look flush with the rest of the central unit. Looks very nice that way.
My is 2019
Fuck the colors, did you had some problems?
I hate my 2018 Q8 (the actual vehicle but not the model itself). Just annoying little things. I think it was a press car before I got it from my local Audi dealer with 5k miles, 6 months old. However, I love the model, so much so I’ve just splashed £85,000 on a brand new Q8 Vorsprung.
Back seats recline?? Thks. No review!!!
This guy said he has clients what are you a street walker
X5/6 or Gle have much better interior ambient lighting
Much less reliable though.
@@YoungFogerty Audi is more reliable than x6 & gle?
@@biancastephxo 😂😂😂
Each time if you want to Change soimething on the touchpad - you to stop the car. More than stupid!!!!
Q8 is nice if it is full of options and at least s-line or SQ8 or RSQ8 but this one is boring and cheap.
S line wasn't around when i got this :(
You can turn off the start stop feature.
