Audi’s latest sporty coupe-SUV model is now available.
Audi seems to have kept their word by bringing more exciting models into American showrooms. The eagerly awaited, handsome and powerful Audi RS6 avantstation wagon is now available. This vehicle will satisfy the needs of husbands who are looking for a great excuse for a performance car. While the husband snickers in background, the wife appreciates the additional versatility and space for the children. America loves SUVs and the sleek, yet stylish Q8 fulfills that need. However, it could use more power. The 2020 Audi SQ8 has arrived and costs $89,000, excluding destination, taxes, title and optional extras.
Although the announcement about the SQ7 and SQ8 arriving to the United States was made in January 2019, it is not too late. Audi has generously increased the power of its already-available SQ8/SQ7 models, even more than its Euro-spec. The engine is powered by a 4.0-liter TFSI twin turbo V8 engine that can generate up to 500 horsepower and 568 Lb-ft torque. It can sprint from 0-60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. The eight-speed Tiptronic automated transmission is mated with Audi’s quattro All-W-Drive system. It has all-wheel steering, a 60% split torque to the rear and 40% front. The exterior of the coupe-like SUV is designed to be driver-focused. It features a panoramic sunroof and four-zone climate control. Heated and cooling front seats are heated and cooled with massage function. Ambient lighting is standard. The Prestige model costs $94,500 and includes a full-color head-up screen and Bang & Olufsen 3D Advanced sound system.
There are many standard and optional equipment available with both trims of Audi. The Audi SQ8 is a substantial $20,800 more expensive than the Audi Q8. Does it appeal to you? Or is the $4.200 less expensive SQ7 more appealing?
