Audi Q8 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Q8 is Audi's large coupe-style SUV, and the nameplate covers more than one kind of buyer. The 55 TFSI trims are the core model, the SQ8 is the sportier step, and the RS Q8 performance sits at the top. Prices stretch accordingly.

The trim prices below come from Audi's USA newsroom and exclude the destination charge, which has its own section further down. The lineup range in the answer box comes from TrueCar.

Start with the 55 TFSI. The Premium is $75,600, the Premium Plus is $80,800, and the Prestige is $86,200.

The SQ8 comes in two trims. The SQ8 Premium Plus is $99,700, and the SQ8 Prestige is $107,200.

The RS Q8 performance is the single top model at $138,300.

Audi's trim names follow the same pattern across its models. Premium is the base level, Premium Plus adds more equipment, and Prestige is the most fully equipped. Exactly what each level contains changes by model and year, so ask the dealer for the equipment list of the specific trim, not a general description.

If a feature matters to you, such as a particular audio system, driver-assistance package, or seat type, confirm which trim has it. Sometimes stepping up a trim is cheaper than adding that feature as a stand-alone option.

The three families are priced in clear tiers. The standard Q8 occupies the lower tier, the SQ8 the middle, and the RS Q8 the top. The SQ8 and RS Q8 are the performance versions, so they cost more to buy and, in general, more to run.

Choose by how you drive. If you mostly commute and carry family, the standard Q8 may serve you well. If you want the performance version, test drive it first and look at the tires, brakes, and ride, because those are the parts that change most.

Audi adds a delivery charge to every new Q8.

It is $1,395, per Audi USA Newsroom, and applies on top of the trim prices above. It shows up on the window sticker.

Our figures are starting prices. Audi sells paint, wheels, interior upgrades, and technology packages that can change the final price substantially, and some are tied to trim levels. Use Audi's USA configurator to price the exact vehicle, then ask local dealers for a quote on the same configuration.

Audi dealers set their own prices. Some vehicles sell at sticker, and some carry accessories or protection add-ons. Ask for an itemized out-the-door quote in writing and compare at least two dealers. You can decline add-ons that you do not want.

• Insurance. Rates vary with your location, record, and the vehicle's value. Performance trims usually cost more to insure.
• Fuel. Check the EPA estimates for your trim.
• Tires and brakes. Large wheels and performance parts cost more to replace.
• Maintenance. Ask about the service schedule and warranty.
• Taxes and registration. They depend on your state.

Audi Financial Services and independent lenders offer loans and leases. Terms depend on credit, down payment, term, and for leases the mileage allowance. Compare offers before you sign. A licensed financial professional can advise on which is right for you.

Ask which trim the quote covers and whether destination is in the figure. Ask for an itemized list of installed options and dealer add-ons with their prices. If you trade in a vehicle, settle the purchase price first and the trade-in value afterward, so each number stays clear. Confirm the model year too, since a 2026 and a newer model may differ in equipment.
