Detailed analysis of the Audi SQ8 TDI quattro tiptronic 320 kW (435 CV) · 435 CV (2019-2020)
General description
The Audi SQ8 TDI is the ultimate expression of power and presence in a coupé SUV format. It's not just a car; it's a rolling statement of intent that combines breathtaking luxury with the brute force of a 435-horsepower V8 diesel engine, an engineering gem that defies expectations and redefines what a vehicle of its size can be.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of the SQ8 is to feel absolute dominance over the asphalt. The acceleration is a wave of torque that pins you to the seat, catapulting its nearly 2.5 tons from 0 to 100 km/h in an incredible 4.8 seconds. The sound of the V8 is a deep, powerful murmur that turns into an addictive roar. Thanks to the quattro all-wheel drive and an air suspension that works wonders, it feels surprisingly agile and planted in corners, conveying a confidence and security that invite you to devour kilometers relentlessly.
Design and aesthetics
Its aesthetic is a perfect fusion of muscle and elegance. The Q8's coupé silhouette is enhanced by specific 'S' details, such as the imposing grille, huge 21-inch wheels, and a rear end finished with four exhaust tips that leave no doubt about its potential. Inside, a technological and luxurious sanctuary awaits you. The Audi Virtual Cockpit and the dual touchscreen system create a futuristic atmosphere, while the quality of the materials and the space for five occupants remind you that you are traveling in a luxury sedan with panoramic views.
Technology and features
The heart of the SQ8 is a technological masterpiece. Its V8 TDI engine not only uses two turbochargers but also adds an electric compressor powered by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This solution almost completely eliminates turbo lag, offering instant response at any speed. Added to this is a chassis full of innovations, with adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering that give it a dual personality: a comfortable highway cruiser and an agile predator on mountain roads.
Competition
In the exclusive Olympus of high-performance SUVs, the Audi SQ8 TDI measured up against titans like the BMW X6 M50d, another diesel colossus with a similar focus on sportiness and style. It also faced the Porsche Cayenne Coupé, with which it shares a platform and a superior dynamic focus, and the Mercedes-AMG GLE Coupé, which opted for gasoline engines to offer equally explosive sensations. Each with its own character, but all competing for the throne of the most desired SUV.
Conclusion
The Audi SQ8 TDI is much more than a fast SUV; it is the culmination of an era. It represents the zenith of high-performance diesel technology, uniting in a single vehicle the versatility of a family car, the luxury of a limousine, and the heart of a sports car. It is a machine of contrasts, as capable of taking the family on vacation in exquisite comfort as it is of putting smiles on faces on a mountain pass. A total, opulent, and viscerally satisfying driving experience.
