Вставка
  • Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
  • The Audi SQ7 and SQ8 are very similar. Both are big, fast, practical SUVs. But the SQ8 is more expensive and more sporty looking, while the SQ7 is more practical and traditionally styled. But which should you go for? Rory Reid reviews both and breaks it all down to help you make the best decision.

    Great flip a coin - can't go wrong Review and recommendation! Would'n't have considered the 7 over the 8 but now I'm convinced either is fine. I hadn't subscribed yet but after watching a few of your reviews... I'M IN!

      Ken Tembe my Q8 will be the 3 litre turbo petrol Vorsprung...with added extras such as front and rear dash cams, cobra track, black roof bars and black rings. It’s the Dragon Yellow finish. That’s why I have been waiting since April...the EU decided the petrol engines polluted too much and Audi has been tweaking them. An exotic oil burner (SQ8 and RSQ8) sound a wonderful proposition, but in UK many cities are allegedly going to ban Diesels and lets be honest, where is anyone going to be able to legally exercise an S or an RS? I shall be extremely content with my 0-60mph in 6 secs. HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

    Great comparison. I was in Audi the other day looking at both. When the salesman told me the price difference and that the cheaper of the 2 has potentially 7 seats and a bigger boot, with 2 kids it was a no brainer for me! SQ8 looks great, but cant warrant the extra money for less space.

    So to make things clear: the SQ8
    - weighs 45 Kg more
    - has 200 litres less cargo space
    - actually has worse fuel efficiency
    - less practical overall (rear view, head space...)
    So in conclusion Audi charges you 5.000£ more for the worse car. I bet this car will beat the sq7 in total sales 🤦🏼‍♂️

      Q7 is the most dull, drab and boring looking suv in the segment, looks like a fat jacked up station wagon/ minivan

    Did anyone notice that when rory was talking about the SQ7 he was actually still in the SQ8? For anyone looking into it look at the mirror caps....
