These dealerships should be paying you for making their cars look unbelievable. Best quality videos on KZbin.

[@jeffgilham1]

....they do pay

[@jpch8814]

The way you film Luke is breathtaking ! and that Audi is probably one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen !!!

[@craigj3956]

Was never a Audi fan but once again you have waved your magic wand and made me want this car .

[@SupercarsinGreece]

Bright colors make it so nice!!!

[@johnmurray6094]

Luke, you have opened my eyes to Audi, which I had never before considered.

[@AutomotiveMike]

That color is just so stunning!

[@carswithluke]

Cool isn’t it, especially in the snow

[@sickjohnson]

Very cool Luke, finally a review of the SQ8! I was waiting till the end to see if you put up an out take video of your being startled by the Audi safety system yelling at you.

[@lancoston]

Your videos are always the best. Love the image

[@iainf6]

Welcome back to this side of the pond..... Great to have you back Luke 👍🏻another epic video with such a fantastic car. Audi is killing it a the mo..... 😍

[@carswithluke]

Cheers mate! And yeah many amazing new cars from Audi right now and of course perfect for winter driving.

[@Akhon5]

I like the intro Luke, a lot ! The snow flakes going up Excellent job! Not a big Audi fan tough, however this one seems all right.

[@carswithluke]

Cheers! To drive it was incredible, but now driven the RS Q8 ;-)

[@patrikmarko9079]

Yes , and we are making this beast in our town Bratislava,SVK!!

[@carswithluke]

Patrik Marko Nice! Such a great SUV, dream to drive

[@boostbyslinky]

The window can only open as far as the door below it will allow. Looks like the wheel arch shape encroaches into the door, stopping how far down the glass can go.

[@carswithluke]

True, didn’t think of that, only thought for safety reasons for kids.

[@bennettmanley943]

so calming

[@erjatizineddine7585]

RS Q8: ‘wait ‘till you getta a load a me!’

[@carswithluke]

Exactly 😂👌🏻

[@Miv51miv51]

Wondering how it compares to the biggest Cayenne. I've seen other motor journalists say the Cayenne is probably of the best performance SUV - but there are other aspects they seem to forget, like overall usability. (Edit): I need to watch the video before commenting...sheesh.

[@SCDC-Channel]

Amazing video as always and the best SUV ever

[@carswithluke]

Cheers! Only thing that is going to beat this is the RS Q8

The pick of the range, perfect daily 👨‍⚖️

[@rich495]

Another great review

[@carswithluke]

Thanks! RS Q8 next ;)

[@cardudespty8514]

¡Love this review!

[@GeorgeGrigalashvili]

Welcome to Snowy Switzerland SQ8 😍

[@jasonpeerless9717]

Rear door windows are limited to the size of the window itself, and it’s position relative to the rear wheel well. Hence why you can’t put the window down further.

[@paulkazzer]

The rear door design prevents the rear windows dropping further inside the panel. Great video. Beautiful. But. RS Q8 hold my beer.

[@brimstone5931]

just to add, the wheel arch in the rear door prevents the door glass going lower

[@Fextreme93]

The hands off detection is not detecting how hard you grip the steeringwheel, it feels if you apply tourqe to it.

[@preeeby]

I watched 100 videos for SQ8, no one showed that windows don't go all the way down. Thanks for showing details!

[@carswithluke]

Pleasure!

[@Zondaa]

What camera and lens setup do you use for those beauty shots? amazing!

[@thechickenman2289]

Audi design things so futuristic and their interiors are forever lasting where a lot of other manufacturers interiors outdate quick

[@georgesodom]

first you like...then you watch

[@arulg4762]

Omg I love Switzerland after watching tis video.

[@Vollgasmus7]

That colour really supports safety on the streets, visible from anywhere! :D

[@RidgewayInMedia]

I've got my Q8 in the Dragon Orange. Easy to find in car parks.

[@mateupalomarperez3411]

Basically, the rsq8, the cayene turbo, and the urus are the same car with a different case

[@rosstuck3927]

Luke, I have always been a Range Rover Autobiography man, but will go take a serious look at the SQ8 with all the toys. The 4 wheel steer is what I am looking for. Audi has always had very hard seats, and if they come up to snuff the RR could go.

[@carswithluke]

Ross Tuck very nice, I drove one a year ago, this is for sure easier to drive, like you said with the 4 wheel steer, it’s a game changer on a SUV.

[@jonckheeremaite5171]

Impressive car , you put the sq8 above a cayenne coupe and the new g wagon... it must be a blast to drive!

[@carswithluke]

Yeah, it's not that's it's a blast to drive like a sports car it's just so pleasurable and as it's a SUV I don't really look for it to be like a sports car.

[@victoradelow851]

I feel like you have to share us a spotify list with the music that you use in your videos!

[@carswithluke]

Yep will make one!

[@victoradelow851]

@@carswithluke Appreciate it! Thank you

[@zarakkhan7549]

Does the gearbox still lags when you put your foot down like in the q8?

[@herrera7906]

Can I ask what camera do you use for such amazing caption???

[@BLWard-ht3qw]

Lol, that Q8 is much larger in person than what I thought, but it's still very nice and though I think most Audi interiors are nice, they nailed it with the Q8...especially with integrating the navigation system into the dash. They need to do that with all their SUVs and get away from that horrid stuck on screen look. Anyway, nice review, thanks for posting.

[@Mahan.M]

From @0:00 to @0:31 should've been the Audi S Q8 advertisement, Really good quality

[@RK1FX]

Luke have you driven a 958.5 gts? How would you compare to this?

[@majedbineisa]

You haven't mentioned fuel consumption. Also how about active rare steering?

[@Luki_Luki_Luki]

Welcome back to Europe ;) Luke this SQ8 still has a fake exhaust pipes. From existing 4 only 2 are working as far as I know. They should either hide it or leave it....

[@carswithluke]

Thanks! And yeah I get what you mean, so many fake exhausts these days I became so use to it

[@m3petem3]

Hey another top , well filmed video. What hardware and editing software do you use?.

[@carswithluke]

Cheers, I use premier pro to edit

[@Nate-zy5ce]

Good review. Thank you. Maybe you, or other posters here, can answer some questions for me: I am torn between the 2021 Q8 and SQ8, loaded Prestige trims. The better mpg of the Q8 is tempting, but my priority would be the car's ability to handle less than ideal roads and weather conditions, especially hilly mountain highways at speed to less well maintained backroads in ski country during the worst winter snow storms. And though at 59 I'm not much for "off roading" any more, I would like to know that my car can go on dirt roads and such to get me to a favored campsite or fishing spot if I need it to. Would adding the Sport Package (with the Active Roll Stabilization and Sport Rear Differential), will that improve the SQ8's ability to handle the above road and weather conditions, and make it acceptable? Without that added package would the Q8 and SQ8 be roughly the same in said conditions? Also, though I love, love the look of the Black Optics package on either car, that is only cosmetic, and if I forgo that, I can get either with the larger sidewall number 285/45/21 tires instead of the 285/40/22's that come with the Black Optics. Do you think the difference between the 45/21's and 40/22's would be noticeable in the above less than idea road and weather conditions, or so negligible that I should just go for the Black Optics with the 285/40/22's? Please, I would welcome as much input as possible on the above. Thanks again.

[@mikew742]

SQ8 Vorsprong (the top all encompassing trim level) is the way to go

[@Nate-zy5ce]

@@mikew742 Can I even get that here in the US. I think the SQ8 Prestige is the highest trim here, and the Vorsprong is in Europe. Not sure what all the differences are, or if I can even get the Vorsprung here. I do wish I could get the racing steering wheel that is flattened on the bottom. Best I can tell that's only in Europe too. On a side note, I've seen some pre market pics of the anticipated 2023 model, and though similar, it has some exterior changes to the lines of the body that frankly I do not like as much as what comes on the 2021 and 2022.

[@carswithluke]

Coming 17th!

[@Tracertme]

Luke you need to leverage your relationship with Audi and get hold of an early RS6 and do what you do best shoot the opening and end sequences, not with narration. I have just seen the auditography piece and its terrible. It could not be more boring. It's time to take your star and make it shine, get that halo car early and your view no.'s will rocket...I know you did the launch, but it was not an easy location for you and this is different footage, reference the blue auditography R8 piece with driving shot in the snow....it is still a masterpiece, but they have never replicated it in style or anything else. An RS6 should always be launched in the winter mountains....not a dry dusty sandy beach....the reason that was done was because Audi are introducing the RS6 to the american market... check your own first 35 seconds and it sets, emotion, location and car straight away... far better!!.. :-)

[@JoeJacksonGT3]

Not available in the USA yet...I really am curious if it would be worth moving from my GLC 63

[@carswithluke]

JoeyandLindsay After driving both the Audi is my choice but it’s a personal thing I guess, I prefer the Audi interiors to Mercedes for example.

[@Nate-zy5ce]

If you see this all this time later, do you think if you put the SQ8 in its most comfortable, quiet mode, that it would be as comfortable and quiet as the Q8, including the Q8 in its dynamic or most comfortable, quiet mode? If not, could it even get close?

[@closekid2178]

Luke,what model of camera are you using ?

[@trickystitch]

Hi Luke, what were the headline points you prefer over Cayenne Turbo? Cheers.

[@carswithluke]

Ease and comfort of driving, technology wise. I’m not saying it is more fun’ it’s not, just a better all round SUV that also has more space and I really did not like the front or side angle on the Cayenne, only the back looked nice to me so the Q8 just ticked more boxes for me.

[@hitman3507]

[@dlayday5402]

Песня в начале ТОП!

[@bob808]

So it's _kinda_ like a Urus TDi? :D Whatever it is, it's an interesting departure from traditional SUV styling!

[@carswithluke]

Bob808 Haha yeah pretty much! But of course the RS is to come this month ;-)

[@OakLeafs30]

The window doesn’t go down all the way in the back because of room in the door. The cutout for the wheel well shape in that back door doesn’t allow for enough room

[@OakLeafs30]

Someone in the last 4 years and 200 comments has probably answered this though

[@MaxStraesser]

I feel like the Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupé could give it a run for its money. Brilliant car nevertheless.
