The 2025 Audi SQ8 is a fast, stylish, and comfortable midsize luxury SUV with all of the tech and conveniences needed to make it an engaging daily driver.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Not-so-great fuel economy</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride and Handling

Driving Impressions

Where the non-S model is focused on comfort while retaining rapidity, the SQ8 takes sportiness up several notches, with 500 horsepower and more precise handling. That big power figure enables 4-second sprints from zero to 60 mph, along with a top speed of 155 mph. That, in turn, means wide smiles for everyone in the cabin.
Of course, the SQ8 isn’t just about straight-line speed. The SQ8’s performance upgrades include a sport-tuned adaptive air suspension, along with all-wheel steering for better low-speed maneuverability and greater high-speed stability.
Fuel Economy
The SQ8 nets 17 mpg combined (15 city, 21 highway), which is a bit lower than most of its competitive set, which averages 19.5 mpg combined. That said, all of these high-performance SUVs are a bit thirstier than their regular counterparts — that&#8217;s the tradeoff for the extra performance.

Restrained Exterior

Exterior

It’s hard to call a 6-figure, 500-hp luxury SUV understated, but the Audi SQ8’s exterior does its best to demonstrate restraint. Rather than telegraphing its ability with brightly colored trim and giant aerodynamic surfaces, the SQ8 adopts a subtler look that still clues in the cognoscenti.
For 2025, two new appearance packages offer a chance to undo some of that subtlety, however, adding either carbon fiber visual accents to the exterior (Carbon package) or red-themed contrast stitching, red seat belts, and other interior details (Audi Sport package).

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Virtual Cockpit Plus 
Audi was one of the first to move away from traditional gauges, and its Virtual Cockpit Plus is still one of the best. It’s sharp, easy to use, and allows the driver to display exactly what&#8217;s required — whether that’s navigation, media, or classic dials.
Matrix-design LED headlights 
These intelligent headlights adjust automatically to avoid blinding other drivers while still providing great illumination. When parked, they can even project animated patterns onto nearby walls — a clever feature with a bit of flair.
Remote Park Assist Plus 
This standard feature can handle parallel and perpendicular parking. It’s especially helpful when space is tight and/or outward vision is limited.
Adaptive air suspension 
Another standard SQ8 feature, this high-performance adaptive air suspension absorbs bumps, improves handling in corners, and even lowers the vehicle at higher speeds to optimize aerodynamic efficiency.
Bang &amp; Olufsen audio 
The SQ8’s quiet cabin is the perfect setting for this optional 23-speaker/1,920-watt Bang &amp; Olufsen audio system. It delivers rich, detailed sound that makes every drive more enjoyable.
360-degree camera system 
Parking and tight spaces are much easier to navigate with this 360-degree camera setup. It provides a full view of the SQ8’s surroundings, helping the driver avoid obstacles and blind spots. This feature comes standard in Premium Plus and Prestige trims.

Clean, Comfortable Interior

Interior

Audi’s reputation for clean design, excellent materials, and user-focused ergonomics shines through in the SQ8’s cabin. Clean and modern without gimmicks, the SQ8’s interior is at once business-like and welcoming.
Front and rear passengers have generous legroom (more than 40 inches in all positions), which is considerably more than some rivals, including the BMW X6 M60i.
Being an SUV, the SQ8 does have decent cargo space, but its coupe-ish styling brings a few compromises for the sake of looks. Still, the SQ8 offers nearly 34 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, or more than 60 cubic feet behind the first. That’s more than the X6 M60i, and on the larger end of this midsize luxury coupe-SUV sector.

KBB Editors' Overview

Sportier, even more stylish, and even more luxurious than the model on which it’s based, the Audi SQ8 is everything the Q8 (<a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/q8/">reviewed separately</a>) is, but turned up a couple of notches. Two comfortable rows of seating, a rip-snorting turbocharged V8, plus all the safety, tech, and all-wheel-drive (AWD) surefootedness we expect of an <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/">Audi</a> are onboard the SQ8.
Anyone in the market for a sporty, luxurious midsize coupe-like SUV must consider and test-drive the SQ8.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-luxury-mid-size-suvs/">midsize luxury SUVs</a>, including the Audi SQ8.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

Starting just shy of $100,000 in base form, the 2025 Audi SQ8 isn’t exactly affordable, but it’s competitive with its main alternatives, like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/x6/2025/">BMW X6 M60i</a>, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-amg-gle-coupe/">Mercedes-AMG GLE 53</a>, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/cayenne-coupe/2025/">Porsche Cayenne Coupe</a>.
Before buying a new midsize luxury performance SUV, be sure to check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see what you should be paying. The Audi SQ8 enjoys typical resale values for its class. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Under the Hood

The 2025 Audi SQ8 generates 500 hp from a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. All-wheel drive is standard, along with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Despite being a luxury/performance SUV, the SQ8 is capable of towing up to 7,700 pounds, thanks to that brawny engine.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Audi offers standard warranty coverage for its new vehicles of four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. That’s a typical warranty period among European luxury car manufacturers.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The Audi SQ8 hasn’t been separately crash-tested, but the regular Q8 scored a maximum 5-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). That base model also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) Top Safety Pick rating, the institute&#8217;s second-highest accolade.

What's new for

The 2025 Audi SQ8 receives a range of minor appearance and feature adjustments, including standard LED interior lighting on all trim levels and standard road sign recognition. The SQ8 also offers two new appearance packages, one with carbon fiber accents and the other with red accents.

The Toyota Mirai fuel cell electric vehicle is an interesting piece of engineering, but it&#8217;s less practical than a typical EV for most people.

<ul>
<li>California-only</li>
<li>Scarce refueling stations</li>
<li>Small interior</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling 

The 2025 Toyota Mirai is powered by a 181-horsepower electric motor matched with a single-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive. Although it’s a fairly large sedan to be making less than 200 horsepower, we’re content with the moderately quick acceleration courtesy of the instantaneous burst of torque from the electric motor. We appreciate the enthusiastic launches, as well as the smooth power spool when not burying the throttle in the floorboard. However, as more powerful electric vehicles (EVs) with dual-motor options become more common in this price range, the Mirai’s lackluster performance makes its price tag hard to justify.
The Toyota Mirai drives like an electric car because that’s technically what it is, despite its fuel source being hydrogen rather than a big battery pack. Ultimately, the Toyota Mirai is an alternative fuel car that prioritizes plush over performance, excelling in the comfort category. We love the deliberate power delivery and the comfortable, library-quiet ride.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
Why go with an FCEV rather than a BEV? Range and charging are the big benefits of the hydrogen option. The Mirai has an outstanding maximum range rating of up to 402 miles; that 400-mile milestone is rare among BEVs outside of trucks with massive batteries. Also, while BEVs take hours to recharge, the Mirai takes about five minutes, similar to filling a gas tank. The tricky part is actually finding a place to refuel, so make sure you live somewhere with a decent hydrogen refueling infrastructure if you’re considering the Mirai.

The name &#8220;Mirai&#8221; comes from the Japanese word for &#8220;future,&#8221; and that’s sort of the vibe we get from the exterior design of this hydrogen fuel cell sedan. We think the styling walks the line between subtle and futuristic. Furthermore, we love the liftback look and sharp light signature. In terms of size, the Mirai has dimensions almost identical to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/es/">Lexus ES</a>.

Hydrogen fuel cell powertrain 
The Toyota Mirai is one of the few hydrogen fuel cell cars on the market. Its only tailpipe emission is water.
Lexus-like luxury 
If the Mirai seems expensive for a Toyota sedan, getting in the driver’s seat may change your mind. The Mirai is a premium sedan with many standard features and interior quality that are on par with Lexus.
402-mile range 
The Mirai achieves an impressive range of up to 402 miles between fill-ups, which is better than the average EV.
5-minute refuel time 
Unlike a typical EV that takes hours to charge, refueling the Mirai is about as fast as refueling a gas-powered car — no waiting around for hours at charging stations.
Toyota Audio Multimedia 
The standard infotainment system in the Mirai has a 12.3-inch screen, navigation, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a JBL 14-speaker premium audio system.
Complimentary fuel 
Toyota offers complimentary fuel for up to three years or $15,000 when you lease and for six years or $15,000 when you purchase, whichever comes first. The efficient Mirai already has low fuel costs, and this complimentary fuel from Toyota helps even more.

Luxurious Interior

Although it’s a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/">Toyota</a>, a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lexus</a> badge would look right at home on the Mirai’s steering wheel. Because this interior feels like it belongs in a luxury car, it somewhat helps justify the Mirai’s luxury-car price tag. SofTex faux leather seats come standard, and on the tech front, you get an 8-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen.
The front seats have plenty of room, but the Toyota Mirai has a deceptively small interior for its size. This paradox becomes evident in the second row, where legroom is a stingy 33.1 inches. Compare that to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/accord-hybrid/">Honda Accord Hybrid</a> (40.8 inches) or the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/camry/">Toyota Camry</a> (38 inches). That’s because of the hydrogen fuel cell powertrain packaging, which requires big fuel tanks. This space shortage also trickles into the trunk area, where a mere 9.1 cubic feet of space welcomes cargo. Most midsize hybrid sedans offer at least 15 cubic feet.

Toyota is one of the mainstream automakers most committed to offering the general public a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) option. Case in point, the Toyota Mirai FCEV is in the fifth model year of its second generation, while most of its rivals have given up on this particular type of alternative fuel. After a 5-minute refueling at one hydrogen fuel cell station, largely centralized around LA and San Francisco, the Mirai can travel up to 402 miles between fill-ups. It also boasts Lexus-like interior quality and a futuristic aesthetic to match its unconventional engineering. Although we love the idea of a car that emits water as its only tailpipe emission, a more conventional battery electric vehicle (BEV) that you can plug in in your garage and has a 50-state charging infrastructure simply makes more sense for most people.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of FCEVs, including the 2025 Toyota Mirai.

Before buying a Mirai, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. The Mirai is a rarity and is commonly leased, so it’s hard to determine its resale value compared to other alternative fuel vehicles.

<li>Quick refueling</li>
<li>Upscale interior</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Limited trim discontinued</li>
<li>More standard features</li>
</ul>

Battery and Efficiency

The Toyota Mirai is an FCEV that turns compressed hydrogen into energy, which feeds a 1.6 kWh battery. This battery ultimately powers the rear-mounted motor that turns the wheels. This battery is tiny compared to one powering a more conventional BEV because an FCEV relies on hydrogen as its fuel source rather than energy stored in a big battery pack.
The Mirai gets an <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a>-estimated efficiency rating of 76 city/71 highway/74 combined MPGe. This is excellent compared to a conventional hybrid or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), but just OK compared to the most efficient BEVs.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The Toyota Mirai is backed by a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. A 5-year/60,000-mile warranty covers the powertrain. Additionally, it comes with an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty on key fuel cell components and a 10-year/150,000-mile hybrid battery warranty. You also get enhanced ToyotaCare complimentary maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
No third party has safety/crash tested the Toyota Mirai. However, it comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 bundle of advanced safety tech like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control.

What's new for 2025

For the 2025 model year, the Toyota Mirai drops the Limited trim. That leaves just the XLE trim, but now it has more standard features, including a 360-degree parking camera, front and rear parking sensors, heated mirrors, and ambient interior lighting.
