2026 Audi Q8 review

Audi Q8: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review

9.2/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Audi Q8 sits near the top of its class. Easy to see out of and park; ride stays composed on rough pavement. Engine gets loud under hard acceleration and touch-only climate controls on some trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $76,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Great daily driver

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.

★★★★☆Grace D. · Nashville, TN · 15 months owned
Exactly what we needed

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
