Considering the Urus costs almost 2x as much, this Audi is the deal
Make some for an F30 BMW! Was surprised there wasn't any available for such a common model.
One of the most underrated cars on the market by far. It’s one of the few savage performance SUVs that nails the brief: be insanely fast and capable, but still be a comfy and practical vehicle. I’d love to own one
Agreed.
What does underrated mean, by the way??
@@duffydon1741 It means that you’ve got other options that most people seem to lean on like the gle63 or x5M. What Most people think when they thought of middle clas performance SUV they tend to lean to those cars, yet there’s the RSQ8 which just a handful of people that actually chooses it.
@@dwhuangg That being said, the people that chose the optional cars know the RSQ8 very well and can equally afford it, it just doesn’t meet their requirements and that doesn’t mean its underrated..Again, what does being underrated mean????
@@duffydon1741 it means it’s not chosen by the people who have the money as often as it should. It’s undersold compared to the competition when it probability should be more popular among buyers.
This is the “American Psycho” of SUVs; a killer in a handsome, well tailored suit.
Paul Allen’s dream car
@@Lukas-rw7ok He'd never be seen in an SUV, maybe an E63S haha
@@james9905 an e63s is better suited for murders and executions 🙃
Talk about a John Wick of a car
German psycho
As an RSQ8 owner I can totally agree with this review. It’s a really solid all rounder, the ride and comfort is unparalleled in the class. It’s not the sportiest but still a lot of fun, plus it looks amazing.
what about the cayenne turbo-gt?
@@hughlevantjames905 it’s in a completely different price bracket, almost double the price of a RSQ8. Plus it’s way more of a track SUV (sounds funny to say “Track SUV”)
I love my BMW X5 M50i - it's the perfect balance of quickness, handling, and smooth luxury when you want it Audi seating has always a little too firm for my tastes.
@@mbrown9060 yea the x5 m50i was on my list, since I found the x5m to be too firm to be a daily. Both vehicles excellent choices
RSQ8 is awesome but lacked in luxury imo, which is why I got a GLE63s. More smooth of a ride and overall better quality (imo) since benz is objecctively the best when it comes to luxury.
Audi SUV > BMW SUV
I thought Audi > BMW 😂
Understeer joined the chat
The design part I agree. BMWs are designing their cars horribly recently, the newly launched 5 series today is an example of that. But as far as driving dynamics go bmw is still far ahead than Audi and merc
@@kunalmore5212 I doubt it still gonna get crushed in track with a mazda, no need for porsche to launch. Power doesn't make a great car.
$100k is the new $50k when it comes to cars
Name one SUV back in the day that was comparable to this? Nothing. Why? Because they couldn’t even build this for that years ago. This drivetrain costs 50k.
@@ryanb8736 who cares, my household income is >450k and I’m never spending 100k+ on a car. If there was an autobahn in the US maybe I’d consider, but you can’t use the performance of these cars in any consistent manner.
@@CPAJayhawk You can. Just need radar jammers.
@@CPAJayhawk My household income is >1B and I buy supercars to drive once and then sell.
Another fast SUV that will only see dangerous local street pedal to metal accelerations, highway racing. This cars/SUVs and their inconsiderate owners are obnoxious.
This is so stealthy but good looking, sounds amazing too, showing BMW how design should be done as well. I’d need a lottery win, but would make the perfect family car for me.
Yeah, and i really dont like audis but BMW r Just too ugly
i cant see any change from the previous one tbh
@@erjonrrapi9963 there r not changes for me but still better than that ugly XM
Me too.
Sounds good?
One of those SUVs we’re gonna look back at, so underrated
Why do you like SUVs? I'd rather have the RS6 wagon.
It's the most momish car I now 😂
@@lifeatitsbest410 rs6 wagon is for my dads midlife crisis miss me with that
In 10 years, finding one of these that has been *really* well maintained for a third of the MSRP is going to be the ultimate smart buy.
@@DaFatmike15 is it a bad thing to be a 50 year old dad? Lol
Glossy interior parts should be felony. Sunlight reflections and fingerprints. No bueno.
The most practical purchase. Like personally I wouldn't even consider an Urus for what it offers at that crazy money. Like I can buy a used Carrera or even gtrs'es and rsq8 for that money. Hence the main competition would be the cayenne turbo GT, that car or this are the ultimate SUVs which cater to two different styles pretty much. An urus doesn't do itself justice when two cheaper alternatives from same family literally smoke it off in various different scenarios.
Also why does the XM even exist man. The design team on BMW is pathetic.
The Urus is my pipe-dream but in real life where a Lambo isn't realistic, this is an absolutely fantastic alternative.
Believe in yourself bro anything is possible. Even that urus. Aim high as fuck too reach high goals
Its the same car as the urus just looks better and has a slightly less aggressive tune
If you’re a car guy, the Audi is good enough. They both have the same engine
It’s been my daily for nearly 2yrs and I love every minute of driving it. The carbon ceramics might be the best option…if you wash your own car and hate brake dust as much as I do!
I hate brake dust too but $10k is a lifetime supply of Sonax 😄
Congrats on a badass ride. 👍
How many miles on yours? I currently have 63k on mine and loving every second of it.
The direction BMW is going makes the market for a lean, mean sports SUV kinda open. Audi remains in the field as a prime choice with only Range Rovers and Porsches to sorta match. RSQ8 still feels like a gross overabundance of power for an SUV but if someone's gonna make it, I'm glad it's Audi. I've seen some in person and they are huge, especially the wheels but so sleek.
the bmw, x3,x4,x5,x6 are still on the market, the bmw x5 is still the bench mark suv ( price to performance)
I think you forgot about the X5m competition ,needs to compete with that first then think about XM 😅
X6m is easily better then this. Way faster looks better too
XM looks terrible but in 2 yrs BMW will change the front lights but this RSQ8 looks amazing. I can’t afford it but love to see you guys in it sharing your experience.
I see this more comparable to the X6M Competition or the GLE 63S not the XM
I don’t like the exterior in black because it hides all of the outside features. I do like the interior including those seats. It does look like it’s fun to drive.
That's why he repeatedly made the stealth comment. The good news is choice of colors is easily fixed.
What I love most about watching you guys’ videos is that once I remind myself that I drive a 2020 Camry, that “laggy gear change” means nothing. I’ll take two, please.
Always loved Audi design over BMW/Merc. Definitely my dream car, I’m currently driving a 2022 Q5, the RSQ8 is insanely priced in Singapore.
X6m looks way better then this. Faster and handles better
@@G82Watts dunno about the performance and handling, but from a looks perspective I prefer the RSQ8.
@@jmgtan124 u don't know? Watch the carwow drag race. It get destroyed. The x6m is faster then a urus performante. It def isn't losing too it's less powerful litte brother

Lambo urus for 1/2 the cost
Even if the cost would be the same, I would choose the RSQ8. Audi till we die.
The great thing about Audi, is after owning one you tend to go back to BMW and realize the Audi was a pos
Love the RSQ8, wish they did an RSQ7 as well that’ll be cool. Although would still want an RS6 more.
The cheaper better looking urus
VW Touareg RSQ8 Urus. These names are getting out of control now!
Bentayga too
Honestly you'd be crazy to not get the RSQ8 and save $100k over the Urus, but if money was no object, I'd still get the Urus for the looks and badge. Great video and the XM should be disqualified on looks alone.
The Audi Q8 and the S & RS variants are literally the best mid-size luxury crossover SUVs you can get compared to the BMW X5, BMW X6, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Lexus RX and Lamborghini Urus, just to name a few.
😂😂😂 mid sized. Americans perspectives are so funny.
@@rensoalink4101 lol he said "best" with a straight face
Another mid-size luxury crossover SUV of Audi is the Q7, although the Q8 is an SUV coupe while the Q7 is just an SUV. BMW differentiate the X5 as an SUV and X6 as an SUV coupe because X-odd# is SUV while X-even# is SUV coupe.
Only Americans would call this whale "mid size🎉
To be fair, if the suburban and Tahoe and grand wagoneer didn’t exist, this car would be considered full size.
All the 2-year-old examples of these for sale in my country, have lost ~US$60,000 since new
I drive SQ8 regularly and it is just perfect. Although I would love to own an RSQ8, 500 and 600 Horse powers doesn't mean much difference to me in day to day driving. I can still smoke 99% of people trying to race me on the lights and the car eats distances either way. My favorite SUV ever!
It limited to 130 MPH here in the states. Which sucks.
@@mastersilence3446 130 MPH thats it? my 4 banger bimmer goes all the way upto 162mph
All you need is a 93 tune
@@shkhehsaan yeah it sucks 😂. Audi put a limiter on it. If you get a ECU tune to remove it than it can probably go to around 200 MPH same as urus.
Comfort between the two?

Gents, how about the 2024 x5? Their highway assist is just like supercruise and no one has reviewed it yet! Right up your alley! Keep up the great work 👍
Soon
I'll take this over the competition all day, everyday
Undoubtedly the best SUV in the segment 🔥 Faster than GLE 63, better looking than BMW XM and affordable compared to URUS!
I've watched this review a half dozen times. Love it!
Have you guys considered doing comparison videos? I'm on the fence between a RR Sport, RSQ8 and the Cayenne Turbo. I'm finding it difficult to find direct comparisons of specific models.
Don't get me wrong, you guys do an outstanding job mentioning the other cars in slight comparisons. It's just difficult to sort through different reviews for specific details.
Keep up the great content! I have a modified 2006 Pontiac GTO if you want to do a ridiculous throw back review :)
It’s so weird to me that people keep comparing the BMW XM to other vehicles. The XM doesn’t have any competition. The RSQ8 competes directly against the X6M, which it’s slower than.
When you’re the GOAT, people will always compare things to you. And we all know BMW is killing the market right now in sales.
Because BMW claims it to be the most powerful SUV ever made by them! So it's obvious for journalist to compare it against the other fast flagship SUVs like RSQ8, Urus and Cayenne! IMHO they could have positioned the XM to compete against Maybach SUV or Bentayga!
BMW is shitting on everyone right now. They are producing cars that are faster, have better fuel efficiency, and now believe it or not, they are the 3rd most reliable brand in the US after only Lexus and Toyota.
@@ajlee6933bmw is not the goat rn😭
@BezmenovDisciple bmws are not reliable bruh, u are delusional to belive that they are 3rd over brands like Honda, RAM, Chevy, Ford, Kia, and so on is ludicrous. They are a premium German luxury brand, some models can be somewhat reliable but overall they are nowhere near other offerings from mostly non premium brands like the ones I mentioned. Bmw is now but don't be a meat rider
So I wonder... What would you guys rather have? Rs6,7,RSQ8 or BMW X5M/X6M?
RS6 because wagon
I appreciate that the RSQ, and for that matter many modern Audis, are still just cars. They're not trying to be some funky design statement like BMW is doing, or making the R8 into an electric SUV. They're keeping things traditional to a sense, and not trying to make their cars alien.
Interior is very dated by today’s standard
Its time to review 2023 Audi RS5 sp competition
The intro music started playing and I thought I accidentally opened a Adam LZ video
Did you do anything to the audio?. Your voice is not as loud as usual. Can’t hear it properly.
Unbiased opinion, it’s better than the Urus 🤷🏾♂️
Amazing vehicle. Except those touchscreens and piano black everywhere. Stop it, Audi! Touchscreen for main screen is fine but not for basic climate functions.
apart from the cayenne, i think the q8 range is the best big size suv cause its sporty enough to be enjoyble and looks good, while still doing the suv part very good. Its comfy and quite to travel, its more than decent offroad thanks to audis quattro and its practical and safe with a lot of tech(usable tech). def in the top 3 suvs along with the ranger rover sport and the cayenne. If you wnt somethink better offroad you need adefender wrangler or bronco. If yu need something more sporty the a caynne turbo gt or urus is what you want. But for a good allrounder that wont shout, look at me, the rsq8 is the thing.
Its the best of all worlds.
I thought you guys retired already and moved to Florida!
The Audi Looks way netter than the Urus.its on only the Name lamborghini
This has been my lottery car for years. The invisibility screen it showed off in “The Peripheral” is wicked cool.
the "lottery" one should be the Urus and this is the non lottery version lol
Hahaha fun car, I prefer the XM’s 644 hp and 30 miles of EV only range for round town.
Guys you also recently reviewed the F-Pace SVR yes it's smaller but which would you prefer to drive/own? Thanks.
FOR AN SUV😂 IT'S QUICK😂
So basically an urus. I’d much prefer this rsq8
This SUV is better looking than most. I find the restrained design most appealing.
You and Carwow drop vids a couple minutes from each other. He's reviewing a BMW XM suv and I laughed at your video title.
😂
I'm not a big fan of the console mounted shifter since I prefer an uncluttered clean design. However, I love the black package. Audi did a great job with that including the window trim and blacked out rings. I do, however, prefer a light headliner. As long as you don't have kids. BTW, adaptive cup holders, yes.
The Q8 it’s a Urus on sales 🗿
My dream car
I promise i’ll buy one one day
Listen to the noise that Audi puts out like music to my ears 👏
Hey guys, i love your videos! Could you please review the Mercedes AMG GLE 63🙏🏾
As far as I know the V8 engines are build by Porsche now. In 2016 Porsche build a new engine production facility where now all VAG V8s get build.^^
Please Audi, make an RS Q5 and bring it to the US.
Exactly!
RSQ6 will be released along with Porsche Macan later this year! Obviously electric versions 😶
Interesting to follow the progression of the channel by Jacob’s watch collection. Well done guys!
This things awesome, but an RS6 is awesomer.
Audi does look better than the BMW.
This is a great SUV, but the RS6 exist...that would be my choice
We are only missing an RSQ5 now. Audi, make it happen.
Not sure about RSQ5! But certainly there's a RSQ6 which is due to release later this year!
Not typically as aggressive at that level. Never been sure why. BMW does an M-variant at every level.
The real comparison is not the XM, it is X5M. The X5M is cheaper and has better performance, and is all around better. Not even a mention of the new X5M refresh?
I don’t think we drove the refreshed x5m
@@TheStraightPipes got a set of tuxmats for my X5, btw… so clean! Love your content… best car review channel on RUclips. 🔥
It's actually the X6M Competition because it's a coupe SUV. The X5 is a regular standard midsize SUV
Lamborghini Urus in disguise
Thanks guys for a great video, on a Wednesday morning. Gorgeous car, but the things that a SQ7 does better including but not limited to:
More room, more wagon-like, better sounding (not by much but yes), cheaper and wife more incline to approve, even more sleeper
Love my SQ7. Better looking than the SQ8 in terms of proportions. We actually refer to it as a “Fat Wagon”, which I believe yuri coined in their original RSQ8 video
yeah you get a lot in the sq7 for the price. over $100k for a car is just WAY too much for 96% of the population
@@luciccrew617 Ha! No way the SQ7 looks better than the SQ8! As for space, the SQ8 has more second row leg room, and the hatch is only smaller if you fully stack luggage to the ceiling.
@@shunt8084 personal preference. I think the SQ8 is too bulky and not as sleek. Also don’t like the grille
were there any shot of the back?
Awesome, but I would go for the SQ8 with “only” 500HP and save $30k. Still getting 4.3 seconds 0-60.
Ya know...I'm generally not a fan of wagons, but damned if I didn't see a white RS 6 one morning and man it just looked soooo nice. Not sure it would beat out that RSQ8 though.
Trofeo is my choice all the way from South Africa
This vehicle looks incredible from the side and rear…just an all around stunner.
Not as cool as avant- but very cool
I agree. Well said.
Audi for ever 😍♥️🦎🦎🦎💣💥💪😎
No DC means awkward shifting. FTS
Lol the ad preceding the video was for BMW X5 / X6
Guys make a video about Mitsubishi outlander I want to buy it and need your opinion
The BMW XM looks absolutely stunning!
Saw one of these yeasterday
That intro beats slapping
Gonzalez Matthew Rodriguez Donald Moore Matthew
Out of the German trio this is the most bland looking. All other options have big twin turbo V8s at least look interesting for Christ sake!!!
Interior is so underwhelming too.
The interior looks like a space ship . I like it
It really is. Germans focus all their energy on driving dynamics. Interiors look really drab. But if you think Audi is bad, you should see the Porsche. Those interiors look like compact SUVs replete with hard plastics everywhere.
Audi coming back.. real QUICK!
Thanks guys for a great video
I drove an RSQ3 and it had 400HP. It was already fast as f@ck. Affording these is crazy - but I would settle for the SQ8. Only 100HP difference
XM isn’t a comparison. Now, the BMW X5M competition? RSQ8 LMAO? The X5M comp is far ahead of this Audi, engine, interior by a mile and looks by many miles.
BMW X6M > Audi RSQ8.
I prefer upholstery quality finish for BMW.
Shhhhh: it’s also faster 😉
BMW XM is more of an URUS comparable for price and exclusivity
I've always liked the looks of audi. Would hate to own one thought
Could tell Yuri wasn’t feeling great today. Hope he gets to feeling better soon! Loved the vid! Can’t wait for the next!
Your comment makes no sense.
Is he sick?
What was wrong with him?
@@johnhafner1001 My b, sometimes I don’t read over my comment. I fixed it tho
@@Matthew-vw6gy Hair was a mess and definitely seemed out of it. Seems like just normal young parent stress. Not saying he is dying
Every bro I know says " I got that RSQ8/x5M/Cayanneb Turbo GT for my wife." Really? What's that all about? Trad wives want 600 hp 13 mpg Blacked out SUVs? Modern wives cant buy their own? I hear this so much its confusing. Why don't you want it? Why does she need you buying it for her? I have never seen a woman behind the wheel of one of these.
rs7?
I’d take a x6 Mcomp over this
Depreciation cliff is why I wouldn't touch this. Awesome car, too bad Audi has to refresh their cars so often. Buy a Lexus GX and something a bit sporty like an LC500 for the same amount, and you don't have to watch your money catch fire.
The hold their value but they're also a whole lot less fun. If its and issue, you can always wait a year.
It’s a very nice car, no doubt; but I’d take either the BMW X6 M Competition or the Mercedes AMG GLE 63 S Coupe over the Audi ANY GIVEN DAY 🤷🏻♂️
To be fair, while not taking the XMs side bc it is ugly and not a good example of BMW, the two shouldn’t be compared. The RSQ8 is more compared with an X5M.
Guys can you review the rs5 competition spec. I have one and think the OEM coil over suspension, stiffer sway bars and other mapping tweaks have changed the car dramatically. The bouncy rear suspension is a thing of the past too.
I bet it fixes the only real problem I had with it, which was the suspension bouncing lol
3:22 "The turn-in is amazing, like, it just, it feels like it loads up in the corners."
With all my love: This really doesn't mean anything. I love you guys but please try and use better terminology, or at least describe the context while leaning on the colloquial language. Every car experiences "load up" on every corner, every single time, that is a fact of physics.
You need to tell how the dynamics are during load up. Did you mean there's a direct feedback? Did you mean something about suspension characteristics, you say RS tuned but what's that? Does it translate the "load up" better or stabilize better or prevent understeer better? Did you mean it has weighty steering? Or did you mean something else entirely?
I know this will be buried somewhere in the realm of comments, and that's fine. In the small chance you read it, I sincerely hope you get what I'm trying to mean by staying true to terminology, I believe it will make your reviews that much higher in quality -while keeping all the fun and enthusiasm you have.
Can we buy that Continental shirt Jacob is wearing??
