Pros & Cons
What we love
✓The SQ8 Premium Plus opens at $100,600 with a feature set that surpasses the Q8 Prestige: sport adaptive air suspension, Dynamic steering (variable-ratio), B&O 3D audio, ventilated front seats, and surround-view 360° camera are all standard on this base SQ8 trim — none of those are standard on even the top Q8 Prestige in some cases
✓The 4.0 biturbo V8 delivers 500hp and 568 lb-ft; 0-60 in 4.0s from a 5,247-lb SUV coupe. EPA 14/20/16 mpg confirmed — the 48V MHEV system assists at low loads. 400mm front brakes with 6-piston calipers give this one of the strongest braking setups in the 2027 Q8 family
✓Heated steering standard without the ⚠ flag — clean confirmation across both trims
Considerations
✕Head-up display is Prestige-only — not available on Premium Plus
✕HD Matrix LED + laser headlights and OLED taillights are Prestige-only
✕Massaging front seats are Prestige-only; Premium Plus has ventilated but not massaging
✕At $100,600 the SQ8 Premium Plus is significantly more than even the Q8 Prestige (~$86,200 VERIFY); buyers pay a large premium for the V8, sport air suspension, and performance upgrades
