Audi has updated the RS Q8 model for 2025, introducing a higher-performance version that is closely related to the Lamborghini Urus. The new RS Q8 features a refreshed design with a more prominent grille and Matrix LED headlights. Additionally, the vehicle now offers high-beam laser lights as an optional feature.
One of the key upgrades to the RS Q8 is its increased power output, which now includes an impressive 627 pound-feet of torque. This boost in performance is attributed to a lighter and louder exhaust system that also helps reduce back pressure. Audi claims that the RS Q8 Performance model can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, making it a truly fast and powerful SUV.
Visually, the RS Q8 Performance can be distinguished by its matte grille surround and the option to equip 23-inch forged wheels that reduce unsprung weight by a total of 44 pounds. While the interior of the RS Q8 remains largely unchanged, the Performance model now features a digital gauge cluster with a shift-light indicator. Additionally, customers can opt for the RS design package plus, which includes colored sections visible through the perforated seats for a more personalized touch.
As of now, Audi has not released pricing information for the 2025 RS Q8 in the U.S., but it is expected to be announced in the upcoming months.
