What do you think about SUV Coupes? Huge Thanks to Audi Shrewsbury and of course for my Patreon Supporters, no matter how big or small, for making this content possible.

Really no need to spend the extra money on an RSQ8 with these offering 90% of what the RS does

Pls do more night videos like u did with the M3, when u were trying to get back home on that snowy night! It was really cool and kinda cozy too! If u could integrate daily life situations like that in ur videos, would be awesome!

The thing I love about hot crossovers and SUVs is that they’re faster in the real world than any supercar. If you come up to an unexpected traffic jam in your 911 Turbo S on a divided highway with a curbed median, you have to just sit there and wait. In this, you simply drive over the curb and turn around, problem solved. Plus, you can see over other cars, which is VERY helpful in traffic because you can plan your moves ahead of time, and you also feel more comfortable driving when you know what’s going on around you.

I have an SQ7 and love it! Your observations and comments were spot on and I’m happy you were so pleased with this vehicle since so many journalists treat them like they are second rate to BMW And Mercedes. Also glad you mentioned the far quicker observed 0-60 times out there compared to claimed time. A+ job

imo the Q8 is currently one of the best looking SUVs on the market

Ahh yes, the Audi Squate. The little brother to the Risquate!

The rs q 8 is faster but if you give the sq8 a stage 1 tune it’s faster it cost only 1k you can save 30k

The tach needle "sweep" was kinda funny due to that styling on the tach.

That silverish trim piece around the grille at 4:45 is what does it for me. Apart from that it’s very nice

In my opinion this is almost one of the best looking coupe SUVs ever the interior is very clean looking too I still wonder wether it’s better than the x6 or not?

Killin it man!

Another Great video Tedward!!!! Bravo Senor!!!

im like so confused...... ive been subscribed to teddy 2 toes for years and years and to be quite frank, i always come out learning something when im done watching one of his videos. why doesnt he have 1 mill subscribers yet?

Solid video, great work.

Nice video .Keep up the good work.

See if you can get your hands on the new f pace SVR. Loved the review, you make some great points!

Dear God the sound of it, ahhhhhhh lovely!! Aweesome video, cheers mate!

love your vids bro

I drive on those roads everyday it’s so cool to see your in the same area as me!!

As a temporary leave of car guy (1 toddler and 1 infant now) past e90 m3 6mt, e46 m3 6mt, gt3 6mt owner, i have a SQ7 and my brother has a SQ8 and the Audi brand has really brought these cars to life. My brother is a past two time cayenne turbo owner and I am still a cayenne turbo S owner and I love your comment about how authentic the drive feels. The new SQ's offer such un-boosted drive unlike the PTV+ paired with RWS that Porsche puts in their vehicles and it is far more of an honest "drivers car" (can I even say that?) than any SUV or even performance sedans out there today. Audi's been on the back burner for me since the B7 S4/RS4, gen 1 R8 days, but now they are really on this incredible path of building quality drivers vehicles while providing incredible value.

My favourite part about this car is that VW Group 4.0L twin turbo V8 ~~ The sound that thing makes is really nice~ If you want an Urus or RS Q8, but can't pay for an actual Urus or an RS Q8, this is a good substitute and it's still crazy with its 500 HP and 770 Nm of torque. The fact that the SQ8 is a huge SUV and it drives like a sports car is amazing. Audi did some wizardry with this car for sure.

Love the 2021 Audi SQ8.......... Just ordered one in Matador Red, Black with Gray Stitching, Carbon Vector inlay, Luxury Package, Titanium Black Optic Package, Black Rings & Model Badge Kit, S Beams 4 doors, Sports Resonator Kit! Only problem it won't be in until July/Aug this summer... They told me it would more that likely be a 2022 model so I'm waiting patiently and hoping it comes in sooner! I guess it gives me time to save up for it! Just kidding :) By the way AUDI is offering 1.49% financing or Feb 2021 for those who qualify and are interested in purchasing a SQ8. Love your videos Ted and I expect I'll be driving with a heavy foot also. Big smile my friend!

An excellent review !

Audi is definitely underrating these things. I did see a video of a shop that tuned an RSQ8 and despite the claimed 591 hp/590 lb-ft versus the big brother, the Urus with 641 hp/627 lb-ft, they were getting bigger numbers compared with the Urus using the same tune. I think Audi isn't stupid, they got some tricks up their sleeves. Same thing with the S8 (my favorite of the current lineup). They claim 563 hp, but the torque remains the same as the RSQ8 @ 590 lb-ft, so my guess is that the engine is very likely using the exact same calibration and Audi just claimed a lower power rating because the A8 doesn't have an RS model. I'd go for an SQ7 over the SQ8, but definitely would be well-served and happy with either of them. :D

Nice review!

Oh man that startup music is so beautiful

3.6 seconds is more reasonable for this thing, it's insane, I drove one and was blown away.

Audi SQ8 2021 + video 4K = amazing video

Had an sq8 as a temporary company car a month ago for a few days, must say it was a nice change from the 1.4 tfsi a3 i usually have! Not sure the director who now has it for the remaining duration of the lease will swap with me though... Must say that given fuel is around $7 a gallon here im kind of glad im back to my normal car, while i am fully remibursed for fuel used, i still pay initially out of my own account, and that was not pretty while doing around 800 miles a week

This car made me move over from BMW 2019 X5 to Audi 2021 SQ8. I drove BMW since 2005… This car is a nice car with few thing that bother me. 1. Laggy infotainment system and lag on the turbos… sometimes the power is not there. Other than that it’s a solid car. So far I drove it for about 13k miles have it for about 2 years.

absolutely awesome SUV. its a tough choice between this and the M50i BMW SUVs.

You might wanna test drive a Porsche Cayenne S after this, a new one is cool. My dad has a 2011 Cayenns S with an ECU chiptune and it launches REALLY quick for a SUV. He did a test and it went 0-60 mph in 4,3 seconds. Would be cool if you'd check it out.

My Complements Love this channel, this is what I like to see. Driving and regular guy reactions, impressions. Well done. I'm 67, waiting to see you drive my first car. A Gremlin with a 3 speed. Terrible car, but heck, it was my first. Might be good to drive some older eco boxes just show how inexpensivve cars have umproved today.

Looks excellent really is a great car.

Nice the Truck Review, I 💓 Audi🚗

I feel like I just drove it 😂😂😂 I’m sold. Great vid. Ordering now

I really like the 568 foot pounds of torque, that sounds splendid. Might the frameless windows reduce the structural integrity of the car? Or did Audi make up for that elsewhere?

Very nice car. I love it. I wish I could own one some day

I came back to watch your very good video review again, and once again, loved it. Never heard back from you on my last questions, but I now have another question somewhat related to the last that I am hoping you'll answer: In the video you reference a moment on a turn where the SQ8 slipped a little. You seemed to downplay it, which makes me think it may have just been circumstantial and not an issue for the vehicle, but it concerns me. Is that slip something I need to worry about? What do you think caused it? Would that have happened under similar circumstances with a regular 4WD suv like a Yukon Denali? I had to temporarily put off my prior purchase decision of the 2021 model earlier this year, but I am now seriously considering a 2022 SQ8 Prestige with the 4 wheel steering and the optional sport package, and slippage versus solid grip on wintery, snowy roads is my biggest concern with whatever vehicle I get. I am thinking, hoping the Audi AWD system, with the 4 wheel steering, and that rear elsd of the sport package, that it all might make this Audi a top performer in snowy weather, on secondary roads or at highway speeds, but then I heard your slip comment on a road that appeared to be only slightly slippery with either rain or slush, and it got my attention. I hope you'll reply with some comments. All the above said, I very much think yours was an excellent review. Thumbs up. This SQ8 is so tempting! I am trying to decide whether the 22" wheels required with the black options option are acceptable, or if I should forgo the black optics as beautiful as it is, thus keep the 21" wheels. I am thinking every bit of extra rubber could be helpful, and as sporty as this is it is still supposed to be an suv, but I am not sure if the difference between the 22" and 21" wheels will even be noticeable. If you have thoughts on that as well, I'd welcome those too.

Hey Tedward, beautiful car, for sure, and I love getting to see all these fun vehicles that I may never get to drive. On a practical note, however, I'm really wondering about the gear you use to make these videos. Can you make a vid about how you make the vids?

Good review. I enjoyed hearing the excitement in your voice driving this. A couple of questions, though, technical in nature. You mentioned that this would be a beast in the snow with a good set of snow tires. My question relates to that: Is there any difference between the Quattro AWD in the Q8 versus the SQ8 without the optional Sports Package and its rear ltd slip differential? Is the 60/40 rear/front power bias of the awd system fixed, or does it vary, and if vary, to what percentage limits can the power be sent to the front axel and to the rear axel? How does adding the Sport Package with its rear ltd slip diff change this, and will it help not just powering thru fast, dry turns, but on rougher roads and slippery snowstormy roads? Different reviewers have said different things about this issue, so I am struggling to verify such, and I thought I'd ask. Either way, good review.

My mom is costume Ordering a 2021 Audi Sq8 in white and red interior she currently has a 2016 Audi A6 black with brown interior this will be a big upgrade for her!

Yeah I agree with you very beautiful car but that weird thing around the grill in front is soft.

Me and my dad watch your videos !

I just got of these (SQ8 Prestige w/S Sport pkg). People who say they would get an RS6 instead should take a long look at the configurator and realize it’s over $20k more for the same equipment, plus market adjustment since RS6 is in low supply, so more like +$30k. Not really a cross-shop that people do in the real world.

Was looking at the SQ8, RSQ8, and Lambo Uras, went with SQ8 for it offered by far the best value for money for performance, plus had more options on interior colours (the RS is only black just with coloured stiching) omin the video you have the entry level, hence the shitty looking silver edging round the front grill. Get the fully loaded, it’s got black polished carbon, looks as mean as fuck.

hi. nice review. how does this compare to the new Audi S6 and Jeep SRT8 in terms of performance? thanks

Nasty car, absolutely amazing

holy shit an $85k SUV w 500hp? nuts. I like it

Wow Audi’s really gotten their V8 sound game down! This TTV8 was a Porsche-led project and it sure shows lol. The whole SUV coupe thing still makes no sense to me, but hey, if they make VAG $$$ to keep giving us 911s and R8’s, so be it. I think personally, the Cayenne is the closest to my taste of all these VAG SUV’s, but this thing is still pretty wicked.

I toe tap every time I get into my car and I didn't know anyone else did that but me lmao can you make a proper car riding etiquette video next?

The silver grille surround looks a bit silly

Really like your channel but want to see more of you. You have good insight but wouldn’t hurt to see more interaction with the people

Probably the best looking of the luxury SUV coupes (X6 types). Another great video Tedward!

something i'm noticing in these newer vehicles is the dialog for the rpm guage and speedometer why the changing them from the standard guages that just go up by the pin needle never owned a car in my life or ridin that had them

wow i really love the sq8 than the rsq8. SQ8 is amazing =) edit: my literal dream suv

I would honestly love to see some e38 7 series pov content because there ain't many out there and i am kinda curious on what u would have to say!! Also what do think about the lamborghini urus?? I personally find it to be a bit of a overpriced audi q8!

TDI in EU not like this :(

Would love to hear your opinion on some older beamers(e9x, e4x, e3x...)

you live in the same area as me, have driven on half the roads you drive on in this vid lol

How would it compare to the X5 or X6 M50i? Equal to them? I have driven the X5 M50i. It was capable but leaned luxury.

What are your thoughts on the Jeep Grand Cherokee? They have somewhat the same feel as I got from this video but I don’t know for sure because I haven’t driven both😂

I’ll take one in green.

Have you considered any reviews on Mazda products? What is your opinion on their shift upmarket in recent years?

Optics black with the black rings make it looks more aggressive

I'm always surprised by Audi interiors despite knowing I like them because I'm so conditioned to expect *the tablet*.

The best car ever

Needs more displays

Hi! I know it’s been a while since you reviewed this car, but how did you feel about the racer seats in comparison to the luxury seats in the traditional Q8? I know they have more functions for the racer seats now, but is one more comfortable or more spacious than the other? Great review!

Tedward you need to start driving more bmw suvs. Preferably x3 or x4 m40i

Just gonna leave a like for the work (cause you do put in some great videos) and then nope outta here cause this car is just all of my car red flags in one (well , almost all of them). It's a great, well built car, but not for me.

Bro i own a sq8 but can u tell me how to enable that exhaus sound?

Nice

That first brake check hurt my insides lol

I live in Boston too

I’ve been subbed for so long and I swear to everything I can’t find the sq7 vid?

Driving like that in snow is freaking me out

I'd like to see the Etron Sportback S. From what I've heard it's a hard sell at dealers in spite of over 500hp. Tbh I'd go for the normal SUVs since they can't be as slick as the A7.

Would you take this over a Cayenne Coupe?

Great review, I’d love to drive one. I am wondering how it compares to the v6 Q8 which is already pretty expensive. Obviously you get more power and nicer trim level but you also get more weight, worse mileage and higher cost. Is it worth it for an SUV? I recently did a back to back test drive of the X5 40i M sport and M50i (X6 was too ugly to consider) and liked the M50i’s power and sound, but the handling was a little sloppy compared to the 40i (with M sport package). You could definitely feel the extra weight on the front end and the steering feel was worse than the 40i. I came to the conclusion that the 6 cylinder had enough power for an SUV in 90% of situations, so the M50i was not worth the money or the extra weight and accompanying degraded handling and steering feel. I am curious if Q8 vs SQ8 would be similar. If you could arrange an M50i vs SQ and/or a Q8 (or X5) 6 cylinder vs V8 I think it would make a great video.

I prefer that one to the rsq8

I didn’t hear you talk about the ride quality, if you did and I missed it could you touch on that?

Can u pls review the Mercedes amg gt63s?

This thing has some bugatti chiron genetics in it , its got half the chiron engine with 4 liters .

Great review. How was the ride in comfort mode compared to an A8? Looking to get something more practical and not give up the luxury. Thank you.

🚀

Americans: SUV's is sporty also Americans: BurgerKing is healthy You should try a Lada Niva, first unibody SUV ever made, with disc breaks on all 4 corners.

I’m very impressed on how this took an entrance ramp when i did a test drive, i think it performed amazingly more thank expected. I was holding 67mph and it felt super balanced, but has understeer on initial turn in. We love tedward

Don't get other than light gray, light tan or black (or at least dark) interior, cars with brown interiors are almost impossible to get rid of..

first love the vids 🥳

What snow tires would you recommend putting on?

5:44 is that a speaker making some noises? or is it because you braked on snow?

Wasssup

Did it lose the navigation feature on the center stack?

was that km/h or mp/h? Even the sq8 is too much for us roads

Don't you always JUMP on the entrance ramps?

BMW 530e review?

I hate most German cars but can't lie Audi does a very good job of their interiors

8:43 Did he just said TRASH CONTROL????
