Compare the Audi Q8 vs Audi Q7
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both of these large SUVs present some challenges in tight spots, as visibility is not amazing in the Audi Q7 and is a bit limited by narrow windows in the Audi Q8. On the move, you will also find digital air conditioning adjustments awkward in both cabins, with the Q7's screen-based controls proving very frustrating on the go and the Q8's touchscreen setup feeling a bit fiddly while driving. Passenger space in the back separates the two, however. The Q7 features a third row of seats, whereas the Q8 does not. Furthermore, the Q7 is wide enough for three grown adults to sit abreast in the middle row, while carrying three people across the rear bench of the Q8 is a squeeze for shoulder space.
