The Audi Q8 is the company's strategy to have a crossover counterpart to their flagship A8 sedan just in case the market suddenly shifts to everything crossover.

I enjoy all of the TFL guys, but when it comes to reviews, Nathan has got to be my favorite. Great looking SUV, and great content as usual. Nice work

Anyone who buys the Q7 will not take them off-road for rock crawling or something similar. The 22's work. It gives this vehicle a proper stance. People will buy lesser vehicles if they want to do any off-roading. But yeah, fake exhaust ports? C'mon Audi!

If I had an extra $90k laying around, that'd be my daily driver

Is it just me, or are these, "SUVs" slowing creeping back towards looking like station wagons? Bring back the reverse facing 3rd row!!!!

Absolutely breathtaking. I saw one of these on the freeway last week and had to follow it to see what it was and admire it.

I truly agree I do not know why Audi has fake exhaust tips 🤦🏾‍♂️

Actually the new Q3 looks just like a mini version of this Q8

Let's just say, 2019 Audi Lamborghini urus. Lovely car ,I must confess, I mean look at this beautiful amazing SUV

I agree with the fake exhaust tips but the rest is a bit nonsensical- who'd buy one of these to take off-road?? The Quattro system is mainly for on-road stability control and better traction in snow and icy conditions. This is meant to be a luxury hauler and if Nathan wants to go off-road he could always buy a Jeep or something similar.

Love the Q8. It's not gigantic but it's not super small either. A nice mid-size vehicle with a sporty look to it.

Q8 drivers, including me, are all complaining about the transmission. Sometimes after pushing the accelerator it takes 3 to 4 seconds before the vehicle moves. It's very unpredictable, unsafe and scary when pulling into traffic.

Should have done the roller test on this !

Nathan always giving solid reviews!!!

Excellent review my man. Honest opinion is always a plus.

The 22' are not a problem at all. No one will be doing any offroading in the Q8.

Seems to me like a case of style over function.Can you get that power and as good of an AWD system in a more usable and more offroadable package? I'm not asking for a super hardcore offroader,but something a little rougher than the gravel road I seen here.And also some usable cargo space.

Dont need to hit P for park if leaving the vehicle. Just turn it off and it goes into park automatically

Repairs and long term maintenance could be a problem, this car will need a big wallet.

Are the Q8 and the Urus the same car just with different power plants and branding?

You guys so miss out on the SQ5 SQ7 and soon SQ8. Turbo diesels being the reason. Europe Aus NZ etc love them.

The only off road theses vehicles will see is a camping trip or pulling a jet ski to the lake.

How many miles can this last? Is it reliable?

Only TFL would try to offroad this Audi. The most a normal person would do is a dirt/ gravel road.

Hey, where is the slip test. I know you are on location somewhere, but if you traveled with a car it will not be so troubling. At least it would be decent replacement for the off road test and be a really real world test for this vehicle.

Just bought one. I went shopping for a Q7 but the Q8 was sitting next to it. My reaction was like seeing a beautiful woman at a party and thinking ‘you have to come home with me tonight’. Unlike the other times this thought has crossed my mind, this one did.

The way every one makes a big deal about the fake exhaust. The average person doesn't care! I certainly don't.

Great looking with the painted grill. Question: Is it this or a Cayenne Coupe? They are both very close in performance and price with similar equipment.

Damn, we havent seen Nathan or His son in a while.

Good thing NOBODY is going off roading in their brand new Audi Q8.. 😂😂

Great review. However, I'm not sure how many people will be buying this audi to go off road so I feel the discount on the offroad capability of the car was not necessary.

Is there any other brand that makes fake exhaust ports?

Hey Nathan! Fun video. You are clearly excited by this vehicle and it is nice seeing that! Very cool! The first moment before I recognized the vehicle in the thumbnail, the first thought I had was Toyota Venza,,,,,, In my case, that isn’t a bad thing, I actually like the Venza, especially when it was first released. If I want to go off-roading, I have a truck, might get a 4Runner instead because I am not going to need a truck in the future. This is the vehicle I would go on vacation in, go to the city in and feel totally pampered and safe. I live in snow country and often go out regardless of the weather, because I am comfortable in bad weather. The winter tire set up would be much different, of course. Many of you are right! I would never go off-roading in this. It would not be why I bought it, at all! I wouldn’t buy it, or a Venza because they don’t otherwise suit me. I will admire these every time I se one though. Thanks again Nathan. No need to go off-road, we know almost no one would and Audi is just giving in to the pressure to offer everything to every one. I’m cool with that. You did a really good job identifying the pros and cons. Please stay safe, you and the team, Eh.

Roller test?

After 3 months of ownership, I have a couple complaints. 1) The shifter is stupid. It doesn't stay in the physical position that you put it in, so it's size is pointless. It's forward for reverse and backwards for drive, also dumb. 2) The owners manual only has fuel tank size on the capacities page. That's it. It doesn't tell u anything about engine (firing order, bore, stroke, power), oil (weight or capacity), transmission (fluid type or gear ratios), tires (size or pressure). It seriously pisses me off. The only way I know what kind of oil to put in the car is from a sticker under the hood. 3) Seat memory doesn't work 100%. It's supposed to move the side mirrors, the steering wheel, and all the seat positions. It moves the mirror and wheel a little, but not all the way, and it misses some of the seat settings like lumbar (which just doesn't change at all). 4) Adaptive cruise control is pretty cool, but the road attention warning doesn't make sense. If you are driving and on the correct path or on a straight, you won't need to move the wheel at all. The car thinks you're not paying attention if you don't make an input in like a 5 second duration, so on a straight, you will actually have to turn the wheel to let the car know to keep you in the lane. It makes you a worse driver... Unless you have violent hand shakes. 5) maintenance seems a bit of a challenge, but not a deal breaker. Audi seems to try to make it hard for me to work on it from home, but they also know most of the "mechanics" working on cars these days are dingbats. So they just make things look difficult to work on. All in, it's a great car. I know it's safe. Power figures feel under-stated. It's plenty fast. Handling feels like a small sedan, not a large SUV. I think it'll last a long time.

Psssst, no one is taking that off road if they buy one 😬

Where is the other presenter of TFL the young one not Tommy

I will take that Discovery anyday

This car is phenomenal!

WTF! Stop with the fake exhaust tips!

Road noise is unacceptable in a flagship 88000 dollar SUV.

The rear of that Discovery looks weird and asymmetrical

One question: do the rear window roll all the way down?

Come on Nathan, this is in the basis meant to be a safe and luxurious car for use in the city and on the highway ; it was never intended for off-road adventures other than trips to ski-resorts.....

I don’t even like the super short side walls that come with all these huge rims for winter driving.... I had a Crown Vic with 215/R70 tires. A reasonably heavy car, right? If you pushed that car hard enough in a corner to side shift a tire your passenger would be asking you if you are mentally stable. Those older tires rode better, transmitted less impacts to the bearings, dealt with pot holes better, and were better on ice even for non winter tires. Journalists have wrecked this aspect of cars in favor of race track handling, I drive roads to work not race tracks, and “style” should be a fantastic implementation of functionality for the most common uses. Remember when cars didn’t have AC and you could crack the window in the rain and not get wet? 4x60 AC didn’t blow into the side of your head like a leaf blower.. with one window down the vehicle didn’t turn into a pipe organ and you’re inside it. Granted they do perform a lot better than the 80’s cars especially when the smog equipment was new to the industry. Camrys bragged about 156 HP backing the 90’s, I think. The 87 TBird only had 150-155 (302 & turbo 2.3) so there’s is that and the improvements in rear heat and cooling ABS.. but still with all those really good things how did they screw up tires?

Nobody who buys one of those is going to take it off road.

Well I guess there will bezero problems for me because mine will never see off road, unless its a muddy street. Lol

Great cars until they're out of warranty and they get some miles on them. Just research the timing chain issues...,

*DUDE! you forgot something ??? What??? **3:45*

How can you even compare that Discovery next to the chiseled Q8!

NO EXHAUST TIPS!!! What a joke

The Q7 looks better than the Q8. The Q8 just has the nicer tech up front

This SUV is super nice but I would get the Genesis GV80 over this. I’m waiting for this fall

I'm shocked 😲 that 22" wheels aren't awesome offroad. 😂

People who buy these suv doesn’t take them off road that’s why they offer 22” wheels

as teste price is almost 1 and 1/2 c8 corvettes.

quattro = Motorsport proven XDrive=4Matic= youtube proven

The Uranus is unmistakably Audi

The one problem is that it's not an SUV. Quit making cars and calling them SUVs.

TO ME , THE Q8 IS A BIT " BACKWARDS AS FAR AS THE DIMENSIONS ARE CONCERNED. THE LOOK OF IT IS IN FACT , " VERY BOLD " IN PERSON; BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST AS LONG AS THE Q7 WITH MORE SECOND ROW LEG ROOM , AS TALL AS THE Q7 IF NOT TALLER , AND CERTAINLY AS WIDE AS THE BMW X5 IF NOT A LITTLE WIDER . THE WHEELS TO ME ARE " MEAN " IN APPEARANCE AS SO IS THE LOOK OF THE BODY. AUDI SHOULD HAVE MADE THIS VEHICLE BIGGER THEN THE Q7 SINCE IT IS THE Q8; THEN IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN AUDI'S " FLAGSHIP.

Why does anyone car about how these drive off road?? Who drives these off road?? Freeway and city streets! End of story.

LOL this is a hatchback car so yuppies can go through a little snow and flat gravel road nothing more. Still looks like a very short station wagon.

finger print screen😂

$88690 USD, u pay "best" price for this

$88 for 300+ horsepower? No thanks. Slam a screaming v8 in it for that price or no thanks.

Does look good. Looks way better than that Lexus pos. But for 90k 335 hp v6, I’ll take a trackhawk any day.

More camera time on the car not the old guy

looks like a venza

Q8 is the best suv in the market & this guy is super jealous.

Volkswagen makes Audi and Lamborghinis so what do you expect

😎

Haj

If it looks as hideous as any audis outside R8 and TT i'd absolutely pass.

No ones taking this offroad

I guess I'm crazy because every angle especially rear is disgusting. Ugly ugly ugly

Hj

Freakin ads suck

Something about this ride looks “Volvoish”...and breathed upon by the old VAG crew now working at Hyundai.

I can't believe people are giving this a thumbs up. The real elephant in the room is that this is just a shitty Q7 which itself is a silly vehicle. A A 'sexy' rear end? A Golf would have a more useful hatch area. Say it with me - there is nothing sexy about yet another crossover, no matter how much you extinguish any slim possibility of being actually useful. The damn ass end is what screwed up the e-Tron as well - supposed 'style'for the idiots that made it a non starter for people that need a vehicle for more than impressing their idiot friends.

The interior is the only problem. It's bland and boring and clinical. So cold and uninviting.

Looks like boring Audi
