Good review but not for me! It’s f90 M5 competition pack money if you look around and falls short in every measurable way. I know what I’d rather have on my driveway anyways!
@@307skylake7 yea exactly, from the quad exhausts to the overall look Take nothing away from the RS though it looks good but personally I'll always go for the S, looks better imo
Zain K I have done that before................once, in a Evo VI Tommi Mak. It moved about 6ft before brrrrrrrrrr. Hang on that’s not right. Got it flushed.........but it was never the same again tbh.....
this is not a review channel, name a single bad thing he said about any cars he reviewed, yeah, this is PR butt licking channel so he keeps getting cars, :)
So little insider tip for you guys on german Autobahn ;-) --> Do your speed tests on sunday mornings ...at 6 or 7 o clock! No trucks on the road and nearly no cars...you're welcome :D either way: very nice video as always! Cinematics, car features, everything top notch (Y)
I'm not generally an Audi lover but this car is awesome. I drive three cars a bentley a ford kuga 2.5 turbo which is awesome for what it is and my wifes car which is a ford titanium x bit on it's way out time to get rid of the Bentley and have a look at this Audi but will wait for depreciation. Thanks Rory I do prefer petrol as supposed to diesel
Great in-depth review with great accent and details. Also, that little bit of fun in between is surely kept me hooked. You've got a new fan. Subscribed!
2018 - look at these huge 21 inch wheels 2019 - look at these huge 22 inch wheels 2020 - look at these huge 23 inch wheels 2025 - look at these small 26 inch wheels
Speedometers overexaggerate your speed slightly for safety, so I think the SQ8 may have actually been doing the limited 155mph, just the speedo indicates you're going faster....
Yeah, I would like to see that compared to a gps speed. A speedometer is not allowed to indicate a lower speed legally I believe, and they need to account for slight differences in tire circumference so they usually are a certain percentage higher. Being a percentage the actual difference becomes bigger when speeds become higher. On that other hand, German cars are generally electronically limited to 250kph (which is 155), this one just might have the limiter disabled. Then again, it should have horsepower to go even further without something limiting it (300bhp cars reach those speeds too).
Rory, you need to do the same review of the BMW X6 M50i. I'm looking to by one of the two, SQ8 or BMW X6 M50i. They'll be 2021s. So far, the only plus for the SQ8, that I can see is the inside technology. Both look good and the looks are purely subjective to each individual. Loved the video and I miss the autobahn. I enjoyed it better before they started restricting some areas.
As a bm m driver I think the most important question to ask yourself is what kind of driver are you? Are you a spirited driver who enjoys twisty stuff and sending it sometimes or someone who prefers to be as comfortable as you can be at any moment on the road? The BM takes the pants off Audi when you're driving it to enjoy it around the twisty stuff and it's usually more loud. And the Audi usually has a better built interior and softer in suspension
@@supaahflyy what year and middle M you have. BMWs have come a long way with their interior quality and Audi S and RS line has vastly improved their suspension. My dilemma is I can find an SQ7 but not an SQ8 to drive. I can find BMW X6 M40i but not an M50i. I would like to see a direct comparison of the 2. Since I can't get both vehicles in the proper trim level.
More that they can't. Audi is a part of the VW Group and well.... dieselgate is still a thing for them. They are still dealing with that fallout. So here we are.
I am a bit confused. Did he just accidentally started filling diesel in a petrol tank thinking it as a TDI Diesel? Anyways Superb review mate. Loved it.👍
Wow! That red with black accent color combination looks so damn good to look at, Feel like keep looking at it the whole time.. Good Job Audi ! The Q7 is no longer the benchmark SUV in their line up, but considering the price its still the best pick i feel.
@@AbdulSalam-xe4md limiters are factotems of ECU programming, when the ECU thinks the car is traveling at the speed to which it is limited it cuts spark and/or fuel to halt acceleration. The speed the ECU is reading will be absolutely identical to what is displayed on the speedo because that is how modern speedos work, they dont use a cable like the good 'ol days. There is no "155 real mph" as OP put it, what you measure from a radar is completely irrelevant to the ECU (and thus the speedo), all it knows is its RPM, gear ratios, and oem tire diameter. If the car is going 165 MPH on the speedo and it is stock it means that the car is not limited to 155 MPH from the factory, it means its programmed speed limiter is at least 165 mph.
You have mentioned for RSQ8 video that the car has some under steer but for the SQ8 you mentioned the car does not suffer from this issue. Does this entail the SQ8 is the one to get?
Rate the SQ8 out of 🔟 ⬇️
8, but Rory is a 10, class review!
8/10, why even bother getting the RSQ8 when you could get this SQ8 and have it tuned by ABT?
Good review but not for me! It’s f90 M5 competition pack money if you look around and falls short in every measurable way. I know what I’d rather have on my driveway anyways!
10
*RIP Earth's climate. And Rory seems happy about it... So incredibly tragic and sad.*
Yo..this dude is the best auto reviewer in the uk right now..he's so entertaining to watch. 👏👏👏👏
Nah Car Wow matt is the best
not even better than the Carwow stick of truth, let alone Matt!! lol
@@ahmadmoon72Matt is very entertaining but if you really want to know as much as possible about a car Alex on Autos gives a more detailed review.
Dalton Palmer yeah Alex might be a good reviewer but Matt is the best entertainer
Two words.
Henry. Catchpole.
But yeah, he and Rory are the top of the top. (And way better than that Carwow guy.)
I like how Audi’s S range are subtle cars but have large amounts of power
Sq8 subtle car ? Okay...
I prefer the S Range over the RS honestly
Methuli Mkhize I love the quad exhausts so much more than the ovals and it’s more comfortable than the RS models.
@@307skylake7 yea exactly, from the quad exhausts to the overall look
Take nothing away from the RS though it looks good but personally I'll always go for the S, looks better imo
Methuli Mkhize Yep, my same opinion dude!
Rory pumps so much life into these reviews, AutoTrader becoming one of my favorites on UA-cam!! Also beautiful red on that SQ8...
My reaction was the exact same as Rory's when he said "it's a petrol?"
I'm just curious if Rory put the wrong fuel in before he found out 😅
Zain K I have done that before................once, in a Evo VI Tommi Mak.
It moved about 6ft before brrrrrrrrrr. Hang on that’s not right.
Got it flushed.........but it was never the same again tbh.....
"In Mexico and all that stuff" LMAO epic epic!
The quality of the videos is literally insane. Also it's so entertaining to watch Rory. Great job guys!
Just looking at Rory enjoying the car tells you how good the car really is!
This man is on whole another level 👍
"Dynamic mode on, traction off, lots of gas lost of brake, try not to die" LMAO😂😂💔
One day, youtube algorithm is gonna pick up this channel and once it does, it will surpass all car review channels easy.
this is not a review channel, name a single bad thing he said about any cars he reviewed, yeah, this is PR butt licking channel so he keeps getting cars, :)
Calm down.
GREAT review, Rory! Keep up the strong efforts!

Great 'style' of reviewing! Keep it up! Also, nice job of giving accurate 0-60mph times!
Anyone watch the mpg dropping when he was on the autobahn 😂, it drops faster than my car accelerates
Oms Val
But it’ll deprecate even quicker. 😆😆
@@stobsie Nobody with the cash to spend on one of these gives an a*se about depreciation..
Timeline??
swaggy tv 2:56
Absolutely loving your work sir. Alway a great viewing experience keep up the amazing work
Way better then carwow!
It looks, sounds and drives amazing. Yes please just another about 80K to save 😣😣
Amazing presentation!! 😄
Rory: "Couldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding" 😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Rza: "You couldn't punch your way out of a wet paper bag...with scissors in your hands"😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Rory reviewing this beast of a car : like, popcorn, enjoy.
Audi SQ8 is for the quietly confident person. Not the loudest in the room but probably the hardest.
Totally agree. Let’s enjoy the V8 while we still can. I’m getting one.
I'm not generally an Audi lover but this car is awesome. I drive three cars a bentley a ford kuga 2.5 turbo which is awesome for what it is and my wifes car which is a ford titanium x bit on it's way out time to get rid of the Bentley and have a look at this Audi but will wait for depreciation. Thanks Rory I do prefer petrol as supposed to diesel
What bentley and what year
"Couldn't pull the skin out of a rice pudding..."
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this Audi SQ8 almost has much as the DBX! Awesome review Rory!
Rory and Mat from carwow are the best car reviewers imo 👍
Eyyy but Rory is such a fun time the reviews need to be longer @Autotrader like he and the camera men best chemistry
Easily the best car reviews on UA-cam
Stella creative productions, well done.
Great in-depth review with great accent and details. Also, that little bit of fun in between is surely kept me hooked. You've got a new fan. Subscribed!
Best review I've seen on this vehicle.
what a well made video, second favorite from auto trader after the ferrari roma
Rory another cracking review
Well done
Rory, you're my favorite auto reviewer. I hope you get a big raise!
What a beauty that Audi SQ8 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What was that car in front of you going faster than 165mph?
Nissan leaf
A other Audi - looks like a A6 Avant.
2018 - look at these huge 21 inch wheels
2019 - look at these huge 22 inch wheels
2020 - look at these huge 23 inch wheels
2025 - look at these small 26 inch wheels
Hi .. from Australia.. I always look forward to watch your videos well done.
Rory’s break up playlist
1.Some nights- Fun
2.Another love- Tom Odell
3.I won’t let you go- James Morrison
Really enjoy your reviews! 💯
“Filmed in Mexico... all that stuff” 🤣 2:17
Nice short rewiew,Rory))keep going))
You know what you are doing watching you from South Africa
Bless you...
I feel another speed awareness course coming on!!
nice review...good pace, interesting details and observations.
Nice review mate!

Gloooorious review!
It looks sounds and drives amazing
Love your work, hands down
Rory is just amazing! His reviews are top quality and entertaining! Is this a German Lamborghini Urus?
Starting with the colour its exquisite and the rest is history.
Thank you ! Great car! Probably the best in its class! Unmatched at this time! I want this !!!
Really like this Audi, beautiful
Audi SQ8 V6 the sound of this baby ! Its best so probably gives you the best drive while driving it ,it goes,165mph !that rims are also sexy
Brilliant Rory..
Yhea !!!! the 10 com si mine 😁
Please do the SVJ! I love your work
Beautiful and powerful Audi SQ8
3:17 when you’re driving down the autobahn at 160mph listening to sad songs 😂
Great Review ... Diamonds Last Forever 💎

Glad Audi haven't gone totally diesel with the S range. This looks good!
More that they can't. Audi is a part of the VW Group and well.... dieselgate is still a thing for them. They are still dealing with that fallout.
So here we are.
This guy is going up!!!
I love this car
Great drive & yes it a definite looker of a car, man it’s quick 8/10 😮
Best dude!
He is UK Will Smith !
I love his reviews....
Great video
oh wow id rate it 15/10🔥
Love this guy!
Diesel may pollute more but it compensates by having higher fuel efficiency. Though that depends on how you drive it...
Nice looking suv inside & out
Wow ....to be honest ...the video was legit!
Awesome intro 👍🏼
Is this model coming Uk
I am a bit confused. Did he just accidentally started filling diesel in a petrol tank thinking it as a TDI Diesel?
Anyways Superb review mate. Loved it.👍
I love your videso
thank you
Love the colour!
I like how this just looks like a huge A3 Sport Back
Wow! That red with black accent color combination looks so damn good to look at,
Feel like keep looking at it the whole time..
Good Job Audi !
The Q7 is no longer the benchmark SUV in their line up, but considering the price its still the best pick i feel.
155 *real* mph is the limit, not "155" mph that speedometer reads.
The speedo in modern cars is computer controlled, if the speedo thinks its going 165 mph it means the ecu thinks its going 165 mph.
@@flacjacket Wow... And? What that has to do with real speed?
flacjacket lol you don’t know much about how these speedos are calibrated.

Modern diesel engines w/ modern emission tech. are cleaner than comparable gasoline engines…
Agreed, but VW and Audi are running away from Diesel due to dieselgate
I have seen you have fun and thats great
You have mentioned for RSQ8 video that the car has some under steer but for the SQ8 you mentioned the car does not suffer from this issue. Does this entail the SQ8 is the one to get?
Rory at Top Gear 😐
Rory at AutoTrader ☺
Roar, roar, roar! That's what you hear when this Audi drives past!
NICE CAR
hi from turkey. im watching you for cars and learning english
Rory!! Here I am again please review bikes too
Rory, Matt leblanc and chris harris best top gear team!
I doubt it has smaller turbos, it probaly has exactly the same engine but with a different ecu software.
The mpg figures. How do they compare when you work out the cost of diesel being substantially more than petrol? The same?
Too Nice 👌
@AutoTrader The 8 speed gearbox in Audi is called Tiptronic not s-tronic & it is not double clutch :)
Perfect daily honestly
So it doesn't have cylinder deactivation? I'd reckon that would help with it being efficient.
Is this the same engine as in the new Porsche Cayenne GTS?
Get it in couple years it’ll be a bargain
