Audi SQ8.
What to Check Before Buying.

The Audi SQ8 is a high-performance luxury SUV that combines a 429bhp diesel V8 with seven-seat practicality and quattro all-wheel drive. Launched in 2019, it appeals to buyers wanting sporting dynamics without sacrificing family utility. Build quality is generally strong, but the complex powertrain and air suspension mean higher running costs and more potential failure points than standard Q8 variants. Buyers should scrutinise service history carefully and budget for premium maintenance costs.
