AI generated from our expert reviews

If you are weighing up the Audi Q8 against the Range Rover Sport, both luxury SUVs lack a third row of seats. Inside, each makes adjusting the climate settings trickier on the move because the controls have been shifted to screens. Rear-seat passengers will find a difference across the back bench, however. Carrying three people in the back of the Audi Q8 is a squeeze with limited shoulder space, whereas the Range Rover Sport has plenty of room for three. When it comes to hauling larger loads, folding the back seats down gives you more room in the Q8.
