Pros Cons of Audi SQ8

Pros

  • The V8 engine delivers immediate power
  • Air suspension filters out bad roads
  • Rear-wheel steering makes city parking easy
  • A clean design that doesn’t look flashy

Cons

  • Screen interface and graphics look dated
  • Fuel efficiency is extremely low
  • Cornering speed is limited due to its weight
  • The price tag reaches dedicated sports cars

Verdict

The Audi SQ8’s formula is simple: it delivers the speed of a sports car, but it does not punish your back on terrible roads. It stays quiet, comfortable, and easy to drive in heavy traffic. While the screens inside could use an update, it’s difficult to find niggles about the mechanical hardware underneath the skin.

If you want a luxurious family SUV that can smoothly cruise through the city and accelerate like a supercar on the highway, the Audi SQ8 is one of the most complete vehicles on sale today.

Bilal summarises,

“It is fast without feeling intimidating, luxurious without feeling detached, and capable enough to deal with Indian roads without any compromises.”

Pros Cons of Audi S5

Pros

  • Based on the MLB platform, the A5 is sturdily built
  • The A5 is only available with the sporty variants
  • The RS5 is quite the looker

Cons

  • Low on connected car features
  • The S5 looks simple and very understated
  • The gearbox could have been more responsive

Verdict

It is a niche model, and also given that it will be a direct import - so that price is more attractive than you think. But with BMW assembling the M340i locally, an over 10 lakh price difference between the two in favour of the Bimmer.  But it is good to see Audi getting us many brand shaping and relevant models. And especially a car like the S5 - which arrives at a time when many premium brands are once again showing some love to the sedan space.
