Why Buy An Urus When The Audi RSQ8 Is Just As Good And Cheaper!

In today's video, I dive into the Audi RSQ8-a powerhouse SUV that's turning heads, especially when you consider its price. What's crazy is that the RSQ8 delivers nearly the same performance and luxury as the Lamborghini Urus, but for half the price in the used car market!
We'll break down the specs, performance, and features of the RSQ8 and discuss why it might be the ultimate bargain for anyone looking for a high-performance SUV. If you're considering a Urus but want to save a serious amount of cash, you won't want to miss this review. Make sure to like, subscribe, and let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Well it doesn’t cost less does it. Urus actually appreciates if you can get one from a dealer, so you can buy one, run it and sell it for more. You’re looking at cost in the wrong way.

And to take value for money a little further on the topic, this is precisely why I bought a 2024 SQ8. The spec's are a hair apart and the sport exhaust on my SQ8 sounds way better.

[@liberte1700]

i see rich people with rsq8 one of my neighbours i asked him why he don't drive a urus to match his huracan he told me the rsq8 is the same engine about same power and its a suv like the urus for 140k brand new canada but i already know its the same car but he also told me its not because you can buy it you should buy it

It's a good value for what it is, but for me, a RS6, E63S estate or M3 Touring is much more appealing. I am not a SUV-fan at all. But if I would go SUV, since my family wants that, I would go for the Porsche Cayenne instead. Audi Service Centers is not a good experience.

The Urus holds its money far better than the rsq8, so really it’s not great value.

That info about the boot is incorrect. Audi state the A6/S6/RS6 has a 565 litre boot so actually the Q8/SQ8/RSQ8 is more. When people compare the RS6 to the E63S estate and talk about practicality I dont underatand, as rhere isnt a comparison. Audi RS6 565 litres, E63S Estate 640 litres!

[@DrivenPlus]

We can confirm the Q8 has a smaller sized boot than the A6/RS6. Look it up, surprised me too 👍

[@lesfernandez888]
