About the 2024 Audi RS Q8
1st generation RS Q8 (2020-2024), final year before the 2025 refresh.
Audi positions the RS Q8 as its do-everything high-performance SUV: a five-seat luxury utility vehicle with near-supercar acceleration, standard all-wheel drive, and serious chassis hardware underneath. It is meant for shoppers who want the sharpest, fastest version of the Q8 without giving up daily comfort, cargo room, and long-distance usability. Its appeal versus rivals is the mix of V8 power, rich cabin materials, strong in-car tech, and genuine everyday practicality.
Audi positions the 2024 RS Q8 as a high-performance SUV that still works for everyday driving. Its single, well-equipped trim pairs a 591-hp twin-turbo V8 and AWD with an adaptive air suspension, touchscreen navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system.
