Q8 vs SQ8
It looks like people are trading up from Q8 to SQ8! Would love to hear some comparisons if anyone’s game? Thx!

Traded 19 Q8 Prestige, Black Optic, Year 1 for 21 SQ8 Prestige, Black Optic, Sport Exhaust.
No turbo lag
Much stronger acceleration
Great sounding exhaust. Sounds like a performance machine.
Quieter......less wind & road noise. Neither had/has Luxury pkg so no dual pane, but the SQ8 is quieter.
Integrated Toll Module is a nice feature. No more ugly toll tags stuck to the windshield.
Everything else seems to be the same. Never had any issues with the Q8 only service performed was annual. Never was in the shop for any other issues.
Extremely pleased with the SQ8 and glad I made the change.

Seems like a nice upgrade but the price point jump seems to be pretty big? See most of you leasing or buying? I’ve never leased and intend to keep for a while. We have our 2014 Q5 TDI with 69,000 miles and I can see it go another 60,000 miles easily etc...
