2022 Audi Q8 vs. 2022 Land Rover Range Rover
The 2022 Audi Q8 is an upscale SUV with incredible performance, a regal interior, and the latest safety and luxury tech. But can it beat the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover, a British masterpiece with a formidable engine, superb off-road handling and impeccable elegance?
Design & Style
The Land Rover Range Rover seats up to five passengers, and the cabin is rich in upmarket materials. It also has console coolers which are refrigerated, extra legroom and seats which can be adjusted twenty different ways covered in perforated leather, which makes it perfect for long, cross country journeys. Buyers also get the option of a wide range of colors.
The Audi Q8 can carry 5 passengers as well, and sits on fabulous twenty two inch grayish wheels. Those that purchase its Executive package will get cooled seats in front, with adaptive standardized air suspension for those that get Prestige. Ambient light illuminates the interior and the black trim, grayish leather dashboard and silver headliners are a superb combination. The exterior is conservative and classy with prominent wheels that are set within muscular arches.
Technology & Safety
The Audi Q8 has received the Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS, along with a five star rating from the NHTSA. It is equipped with the industry’s best safety technology to ensure passengers are always protected, including emergency automated brakes; lane control, blind area monitoring, multiple air bags, and a camera with surround view. Perks within its cabin include the panoramic sunroof, ten inch touch display, navigational systems and assistance with traffic jams, which is excellent for dense urban areas that frequently have congested traffic conditions.
While the Land Rover Range Rover has many of the same safety functions found in the Audi Q8, it hasn’t been crash tested either by the IIHS or NHTSA, nor has it won the same awards as the Audi. Be that as it may, it still has features such as lane control that is active, blind area monitoring, a camera with surround view and automated emergency brakes. Perks within its cabin include a Meridian audio system, panoramic roof, Windsor leather as well as parking sensors.
Performance
The Land Rover Range Rover offers full time all-wheel drive. Its off-road capabilities are considered by many to be some of the industry’s most sophisticated, which makes it perfect for hunters and adventurers that operate in remote areas. Those that get the V8, 5 liter variant with SVAutobiography trim will get 557 horsepower. Those that purchase the Audi Q8 V8 can get up to 591 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
While the Land Rover Range Rover has superb off-road abilities, the Q8 has superior horsepower, and this combined with the Audi’s more established safety credentials makes it the winner.
