      Gents, your reviews would be better if you could be more detailed when it comes to the keyless and auto-dimming feature. Not all luxury brands offer auto-dimming on the driver and passenger side or keyless on all four doors. BMW is an example where $80K trims don't even have comfort access on the rear doors!

    I’d argue to say it’s heavily refreshed. I’d say it’s a mild refresh, coming from an Audi Q7 owner and enthusiast. Great review though!

    I have the 2023 Q8. Amazing car. Drives like a dream, very powerful, and super comfortable seats (several seven hour trips last month and my back is thanking me). Love the entertainment system. Absolutely HATE the tiny center console/storage options. Only negative thing I can think of.

    • @AboutThings_byTarif

      While we're at it: handling is immaculate fir a car this size. There's a bit of a lag when you Floor it but the acceleration makes you forget that quickly.
      Transmission is super smooth and very responsive (except when you Floor it)
      Ride is very comfortable. I have 22s and would've preferred 21s maybe for slightly more comfort but that's not to say it's stiff at all. Just a personal preference.
      Sound isolation is very good (mine has a single pane window I can't imagine what the double is like)
      The annoying start stop isn't at all annoying here. Can hardly feel it so almost never turn it off.
      Headlights are great.
      Trunk space is very good.
      Back seat space is huge. Don't have kids so haven't used them that much. But friends loved the experience.
      What else?

      ⁠@@AboutThings_byTarifI have a 2020 q8 prestige with almost all the packages, luxury, s line, black optic, air suspension, towing etc.
      it’s been an absolutely phenomenal car, recently got the alternator replaced but it’s under warranty so no big deal. My only real complaints are the cheap plastic and the build quality which is just okay, for what I originally paid (97k) it’s pretty unacceptable.
      I’ve been trying to find a program that would permanently disable start stop because it does bother me but i can live with it.
      Absolutely love the massaging seats and premium leather and the sound system is really good already, I can’t even fathom what the advanced b&o sounds like.

    Hard to qualify this as a heavy refresh(especially with the maddening and frustrating U.I. screens), but to Audi's credit, it is one of those "pretty girls" that will always look good. I'm actually glad that at long last, a manufacturer didn't mess with success(looking at you BMW). Outside of the awful storage solutions, Audi did make good use of packaging for a "coupe" SUV. It still has a great rear seating environment.
    What is a tough sale: Price! $92K?? And there are still two variants above this? Hard sale over a Porsche Cayenne Coupe, which may be a bit more expensive BUT will retain much greater value.

  • @alexandercura1523
    @alexandercura1523 7 месяцев назад +7

    As an Audi driver the Q8 and Q7 have the worst center consul storage and the worst cup holders EVER not to mention all the gloss black that gets scratched and finger prints and dust it’s pointless to clean . If the center consuls where better though out and the gloss black was non existent I’d get antique Audi but it’s hard to get past . Audis do handle turns and weather very well which is the main thing I like about them.

I really appreciate how well the q8 has aged. There is practically no cosmetic difference between the 2019 and 2023 q8 and even this 2024 is a subtle upgrade❤

      @@hurryupndie-ym7te so I think if you’re gaining more technology like the luxury package with the massage seats or the adaptive air suspension or the upgraded bang all some Soundsystem or you have extremely high miles then maybe go ahead and upgrade to a newer vehicle really depends on your budget. I chose 2019 with 33,000 miles on it because it was fully loadedand for the money I’m spending on it. I could’ve had maybe a 2021 or 2022 with the same miles or a little under but it would’ve only been a premium plus and not the prestige fully loaded so it really comes down to what you want and what you can justify.

      Where does VW come into play here? Yes, Audi, Porsche, etc are in the VW (Family) but they conduct their own operations. This is just common sense.. Audi is the oldest production brand from Germany that’s been making cars for itself for generations. You’re thinking in terms of Asian cars where Lexus is the “lux division” of its parent, Toyota, who made this brand only a few decades ago. Audi came before the VW family was even a thing, same with Porscej

      It’s like the Richmont group with watches. They are always doing something shady to cut cost and maximize profits at the expense of the brand. You DONT want cars or watches built by a “parent company”. I like bmw because it is an independent brand(owns other brands like rolls Royce). Unless you buy a top teir Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini models, you are getting vw junk. I’ve test drove the cayenne, macan, q8 and they are okay… just not worth 10-50k more than an x3/x5. X3m and X5m are faster than a sq5/macan gts(which is more expensive by 10-20k)Lamborghini urus/rsq8(which is more expensive by 10-150k. Bmw can offer 3yr/36k miles of free maintenance, why can’t Audi and Porsche when they are more expensive? Why are they slower than bmw when they cost more? What are you getting extra with Porsche and Audi for the extra$$? Why is the q8 transmission so slow to shift gears, why does the tires of an Audi q3 only last 10-15k miles on their 21 inch wheels? It’s because they cut corners to make more $$ to feed the VW group.. bmw/Mercedes doesn’t have any mouths to feed but their own. All this sums up why Porsche and Audi collect dust in their dealerships until some no knowing sucker comes and buys one. I will say I’m a fan of Audi RS5 and up and Porsche 911 models. But their main sellers macan, cayenne, q3,q5,q8 are not the best bang for buck.

      @@TruthProphet2045 There is no parent company involvement.. Are you also saying RR is less than because they are in the same family as BMW? It’s completely irrelevant. It’s not like Lexus and Toyota, Acura and Honda, etc. that’s where I agree with you and where I consider those to be less than. there’s literally no cost cutting at Audi or Porsche. As a BMW fan, even on their top tier models, you don’t have the electronics like steering wheel controls and headrest functions. You can’t even have standard luxuries like seat warmers, active driving assistance, navigation, etc, without a “subscription” They’ve cut out rear door ambient lighting, footwell lights, front center console cubby, standard M brakes are no longer on M sport variants, and don’t even get me started on the lack of door panel inlays.
