2024 BMW X5 M60i VS Audi SQ8! What’s The Better V8 Luxury SUV?

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

BMW X5 M60i, Because it is my dream SUV.

[@scottappleyard9117]

You won’t be disappointed when you get it. It’s my wife’s and my dream SUV also. We got one five months ago and it is amazing. It’s perfect for us in every way. We upgraded from a 2019 X3 M40i that we loved and don’t regret it. Best of luck to you.

I have a 22 M50. Love it but can’t wait to upgrade next year

Q8 The best SUV ever

[@your_royal_highness]

I will consider the BMW but am leaning to the SQ8

[@Jwdude123]

Audi all day

[@kevin1492]

I've had my '21 SQ8 for a couple of years now (it does have rear steering and the active suspension) - which replaced my '19 Q8 because I wanted a bit more poke (this offers quite a lot more than "a bit"). It's mostly been a good experience aside from some minor electronic gremlins here and there. X5 is a great car, I just see too many of them on the road where I live.

[@GlizzysGalore]

Did you ever have to replace the alternator and at how many miles if so?

[@jeffreyfrazier4873]

The BMX looks all the same but the sq8 has a better look . The BMx 4,5,6looks kore the same but audi 5,7, and SQ8 is a beast also I have a 23 SQ8 and it has 4 wheel steer and parking assist..

If you like the SQ8 grunt, you get the same in the "sleeper" SQ7...but with better cargo capacity to match the X5😊 Both makers V8s are true gems.

Q8 has more luggage capacity than X5.. and X6 for that matter.

[@universeu7289]

SQ8 it's a different league. Having THE EXACT SAME ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION like the RSQ8, URUS, etc.. tunning potential it's a WHOLE DIFFRENT LEVEL. Stage 2 it's 765hp and tq. That's better than even x6m (which have issues tolerating higher tq so tune needs to be kept more mild unless engine reinforcements are done). I had stage2 x6m, stage2 x6 , GLC63S Coupe and now SQ8. Performance wise the SQ8 it's the best choice. Handling wise, X6M it's the best choice (as a bigger SUV) , SMALLER SIZE, glc63S Coupe takes the win.

[@dinu6692]

I have a GLC63 and am looking for an SQ8 for its B&O, more comfortable ride, and tuning options. Whats your feedback since you own both?

[@universeu7289]

@@dinu6692 I ended up selling the sq8 and I got the GLE63S Coupe. That beeing said, sq8 it's such a great car! Even withouth the tune, feels very strong once turbos kicks in! There is a pretty big lag, but once tq hits it's huge! Driving experience it's way different than the GLC63. SQ8 feels A LOT heavier and really there is no comparison in terms oh handling. GLC63 doesn't handle like a sport car, it is a sport car. SQ8 doesn't handle like a sport car and it's not a sport car :) It's a straight line rocket! Great brakes. Interior comfort and options 10 times better than the GLC. Exhaust sound it's VERY NICE on the sq8, really opens up after 3000RPM but when it dose sounds REALLY GOOD! It's crazy but I like it even more than the GLC63! OEM crackles are as good as well. Regular B&O Sounds amazing! No need to look for the 3d B&O but if you find one that comes with it even better! Tunning options right now Unironic it's one of the few that offers stage2 but no TCU tune while others only offers stage1 but also TCU tune. Kind of weird. Best 0-100km/h for stage2 GLC = 3.0s while for the SQ8 around 3.2~3.3sec. As a comparison, the GLE63S Coupe handles very similar with the GLC63S Coupe! Pretty scarry :) GLE63S Coupe it's a whole different league!

[@aaronchoi1987]

Nice video buddy, I got facelift cayenne s, also v8, got comfort 14-way seats. Man, I am telling you, my back start hurting so bad with cayenne, just not a confrontable suv. I want to swap it with m60 or sq8. can you tell me which one is more comfortable daily driver?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh really? You'd think the Porsche would be the most comfortable. Both of these seems ultra comfortable. I think the X5 might be a bit more padded feeling. But no complaints on these

[@Shabebb]

ive sat in both, their seats are equally as comfortable but it also depends on how tall you are, both come with massaging seats if needed. However the sq8 is known for their adaptive air suspension being the best balance between sport and comfort. Usually the bmw stays sporty and still very tolerable whereas the sq8 is sporty and stiff in dynamic but once you put it in comfort, it floats on the road thus getting the best of both worlds. If comfortability is a priority, i think the sq8 is the way to go especially since you get more room in the front and back.

[@dmenshikov]

I drove both. M60i has the same suspension as 40i/40d/30d/30i (if pneumo). For sure, on

[@b286guy]

In this case, the BMW for sure

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

[@alex57r]

packaging and wheels tire options better on the Audi. On the X5 can only get air suspension if you forego dynamic handling and the active roll bars. Can only get non run flats in 22s with super low profile tires on the X5. Both excellent cars.

[@rickyc3020]

The X5 have a soft limiter for the first 300 or so miles, you can’t rev past 4000 rpm. I think after the break-in, it will sound MUCH better. We just ordered our x5 m60i last week, we are coming out of a Q7 Prestige, which has been absolutely fantastic. But Audi’s reliability has fell below Range Rovers, that instantly pushed us away.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yea there’s a break in period, doesn’t get much louder, but definitely a fun vehicle! I own a 2012 R8, bullet proof. I’d never buy a RR, when did they become more reliable than Audi? I don’t think that’s right at all.

Love our Q8 Prestige! It’s beautiful and drives very solid, sporting for a big girl. Would prefer the V8 in the SQ8 for extra pull, but that fuel consumption is terrible. The air bags and 4 wheel steer really help composure and handling in any conditions. We now have a second big dog so looking for a bigger 3 row, Q7, X7 or GLS; would be nice if Audi would come out with the Q9 soon.

[@dmenshikov]

Q8 feels more sporty and controllable compared to Q7. Q7 is a big behemoth. So, I think the comparison between Q8 and X5 is the best option here.

[@BenHillFinest]

@@dmenshikov- Q8’s best comp is an X6.

[@dmenshikov]

@@BenHillFinest maybe only because of design

[@giannivega242]

Did you make the switch yet? I own a ‘17 3.0T my wife has the ‘19 Q8. Both are the premium models. The Q8 is a lot quieter than the Q7 and drives really well on the freeway. Like solid fast tank. It drives bigger than my Q7, I think it’s because the door sills are higher up and makes it feel wider. But it does have a cool factor that makes driving it fun compared to the Q7. That being said, the Q7 chassis seems to be more sorted on not perfect payment, and making a U turn is much easier, the Q8 would benefit from rear wheel steering standard, which I believe now only comes on the SQ8 or RSQ8. I love them both. Q8 cool factor is strong tho.

[@frankjacobi7362]

as many pointed out the fair comparison to the SQ8 would have been the X6 M60i but it was not available at that time for testing. Sitting in that SQ8 today and listened to the V8 sound as test driving a car over 100k is not possible where I live without serious buying intention which I don't have right now. I really like the X5 as it's my dream car to have one day but the Audi is and always was on a different level for fit and finish which is just undeniable. Getting into that Audi is like flying business class with Singapore Airlines for the first time - just another level. Driving the normal Q8 is nice super comfortable but it makes zero sound ultra quiet, the same level X5 40i has way more power and more fun to drive for sure. As I am 6'8" I can also testify that there is just a lot or much more space in the Audi compared to BMW although the roof is lower or headroom is just a little less. Space behind the seat is still very big in the Audi compared to pretty much any other car I have ever driven which includes my GMC Sierra 2500HD or my Dodge Durango which has the best driving position of any car including the Audi for me because the headroom is bigger and legroom in the front is just as good as the Audi Q8 or SQ8 for that matter. Audi is way more expensive so they have a lot more money to put into better materials inside. Both suck compared to a Lexus LX570 reliability and a SQ8 with 40.000 miles of the same age will go for the same price as a Lexus LX570 with 140.000 miles while both were the same price when new. Still the Lexus even with 300.000 miles will be much more reliable than both BMW or Audi with 30.000 miles which is just a fact. But driving that Lexus is just driving a boat with no power, huge fuel consumption, hard steering and not much of any room inside. I am old now and need space to fit and looking at Audi SQ8 with super fit and finish and engine sound or fun to drive and cheaper and little more reliable X5 /X6 M60i. In any case I still have my Toyota Landcruiser 200 from 2008 if either SQ8 or X5 M60i will break

As an SQ7 owner who previously had an X5 M50i I can tell you the Audi is far superior to drive. I also drove the M60i when I was looking and it was essentially the same as the M50 but with quieter exhaust. The X5 has better storage space, better nav and included scheduled maintenance. BMW comes with vinyl seats as standard, which is a joke at this price point. If you are in the market drive both and decide for yourself. BTW my SQ7 has 4 wheel steering, I am surprised the SQ8 does not.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Both are great, I bought the X5 over the Audi and haven’t look back. The Q8 does as well, I misspoke on that.

[@hondaboy2001]

There's an option in the X5 to increase the engine note. When you have the sound on it's loudest setting, it sounds phenomenal.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Where is that located?

[@hondaboy2001]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I own an X5 M50i and the engine sound settings in the car can be found under CAR/Settings/General Settings/Engine Sound. From there, you can choose between modes such as Driving Mode Dependent, Sporty, or Reduced. The same feature is available on the M60i, but it is called IconicSounds Sporty. While I am not entirely sure how to access it on the M60i, I suggest using your voice to navigate the settings.

[@RICKYRUSH]

For what it’s worth, all the exhaust noise you heard from the BMW was pumped in through the speakers. It’s called ‘iconic sounds’. I had an X5 M60i for a few months. Got rid of it because the actual exhaust note is embarrassing. If you’re a car guy that is.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

You can turn the iconic sounds off though, it sounds good from the outside.

Not a bad option! But you are really getting a basic trim when these loaded cars are actually much better for similar money. If you go for a Cayenne, you really want at least a GTS to justify spending the money for the Porsche. Sub $100k Cayenne to me isn't worth it. Your just paying for the brand

Wrong comparison - X5 vs SQ7; X6 vs. SQ8

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The X5 and Q7 are not competitors..the Q7 is a three row suv, it’s larger than the X5..

[@hallmarcusj]

Uhm, you guys need to do your research. These 2 models are not in the same class. The Q8 should be compared to the X6. The X5 is comparable to the Q7. Also, you're wrong on rear wheel steering. Audi Q8 does have rear wheel steering. How the heck do you guys have a platform? 😂

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The Q7 is a 3 row vehicle. And is larger than the Q8. X5 and X6 are the same vehicle just with the 'coupe' look for the X6. Yes the X6 looks more like the exact competitor to the Q8 given the Q8 has somewhat of the 'coupe' look. But fundamentally the X5 is the same thing. Didn't have a X6 to use. Q7 is more of an in between size vehicle compared to the X5 and X7, so it's not a competitor to the X5/6. Yeah didn't know about the rear steering. Sorry I got one thing wrong. Could you please make a comparison of these two so I can see how it's done?

[@hallmarcusj]

The X5 has an optional 3rd row, so yes you can compare it to the Q7. The X6 and Q8 shares the coupe like styling, sacrificing rear storage, which makes it a better comparison. The Q7 is only a few inches longer, not noticeable and the Q8 was wider, so they were similar in size. I compared the two when I was car shopping. After watching your video, maybe I should start doing comparisons. Apparently the bar doesn't need to be high to get views.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@hallmarcusj there’s no third row option for the X5 on bmws website, so where did you get that info from? Previous gens had it available. But its not anymore Also if there was, I’d trade in my X5 for an X7, not enough space for a third row in my X5. Try filming, it’s not as easy as you think..
