There aren’t too many differences between the Audi SQ7 and Audi SQ8 and this could make your purchase decision a little hard. Performance is almost identical, as both cars are underpinned by the same engine. However, the SQ8 is more pleasing aesthetically, but that comes at a cost. So, which one should you go for? CarSwitch.com, an online marketplace that can help you sell any car in Abu Dhabi, did some research to help you make an informed decision.
Audi SQ7 vs Audi SQ8: Performance
As mentioned before, both cars have the same engine under the hood: a 4.2-litre V8 diesel engine which is mated with 8-Speed Automatic and churns out 435 horsepower. Both vehicles go from a standstill to 62mph in under five seconds. So, understandably, performance is not a metric that should factor in your decision, unless of course, you want a more powerful ride, in which case both of these would be out of the question.
Audi SQ7 vs Audi SQ8: Interior
The cabins of the SQ7 and SQ8 are nearly identical. The steering wheel and finish of the cabin are the same. Both feature the proprietary MMI infotainment system. The system spans three panels, including a 10.1-inches infotainment screen, a digital instrument cluster, and an 8.6-inch display that features the climate control system.
What sets the interior of the two vehicles apart is the SQ8’s roofline which slopes downwards towards the backs, compromising the headroom for rear-seat passengers and boot space in the process.
That’s not to say that the headroom for back seat passengers in the SQ8 is cramped. Rather, we are just pointing out that the SQ7 has 95 liters more luggage space. Additionally, the SQ7’s is a seven-seater, while the SQ8 is a five-seater.
So if spaciousness is high on your wishlist, SQ7 seems like a better option.
Audi SQ7 vs Audi SQ8: Price
The SQ7 starts at £76,360 and the SQ8 costs £81,740 in its entry-level configuration. That’s not a considerable difference, so we will have to nitpick now. The SQ8 is sportier and more stylish, flaunting a lower, wider body. So, if you want a car that’s a looker and don’t mind paying more, SQ8 is worth considering. However, SQ7 arguably offers better value for money. It also makes more sense if you have a large family.
