Pros & Cons
What we love
✓At $139,700 the RS Q8 performance is Audi's flagship SUV and one of the most capable performance SUVs available — 631hp, 3.4s 0-60, and a 190mph top speed from a 5-seat, 5,368-lb body with a panoramic roof and massaging ventilated seats
✓440mm 10-piston ceramic front brakes are standard (not an option) — the largest and most capable brakes on any Audi in this 2027 Q8 family. The summer-tyre standard fitment (295/40 ZR22 XL) and rear-axle steering standard combine to give the RS Q8 a tighter 39.0 ft turning circle than the SQ8 or Q8 (both 43.6 ft)
✓RS-tuned adaptive air suspension with active roll stabilization is the most advanced suspension system in the Q8 lineup, above the SQ8's sport adaptive air. Dual-pane acoustic side glass, full leather trim, RS sport seats, ventilated + massaging front seats, and heated front & rear seats all standard
Considerations
✕EPA fuel-economy rating not yet published — expected in the 12–15 mpg combined range for a 631hp SUV; update when EPA sheet is released
✕HD Matrix LED + laser headlights and OLED taillights are expected standard but carry a ✓ ⚠ confirm flag in the spec — verify on the Audi USA configurator at launch
✕Remote start carries the standard ✓ ⚠ confirm flag — verify on configurator
✕At $139,700 (before the $1,295 destination charge) the RS Q8 performance is among the most expensive vehicles in this entire database batch; the optional 23" forged wheel package will push final price higher
