Used Audi RS Q8 for sale in Europe

About the Audi RS Q8

The Audi RS Q8 is the high-performance version of the Q8, a large SUV with a coupé-style roofline. It uses a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine, an eight-speed automatic gearbox and quattro four-wheel drive. It is sold as a five-seat car with a large boot and a wide range of wheel sizes.

It suits buyers who want SUV space and everyday usability with very strong performance. It is a heavy, large car, so tyres, brakes and parking all deserve thought. Our listings cover model years 2019 to 2026. Some are labelled petrol and some hybrid. The hybrid label normally refers to the car's mild-hybrid electrical system, not a plug-in.

What to check when buying a used Audi RS Q8

Ask for the full service history and look over the car in daylight. A test drive on varied roads helps you judge suspension, brakes and gearbox behaviour.

• Wheels, tyres and brakes

  Check all four wheels for kerb damage and look at tyre wear. This car is heavy and often wears large, costly tyres unevenly. Look at the discs too. If the car has the optional ceramic brakes, ask for evidence of their condition.

• Air suspension behaviour

  Air suspension is fitted. Check that the car sits level after standing, that it rises and lowers on every setting, and that there are no warning messages. Listen for knocks or clunks over bumps and check for uneven ride height.

• Engine service history · 4.0 TFSI V8

  The twin-turbo V8 works hard, so regular oil changes and a documented service record matter. Look for oil leaks, listen for unusual noises on a cold start and check for stored fault codes if you can have a diagnostic scan done.

• 48-volt system and warnings · Mild-hybrid system

  The car has a 48-volt mild-hybrid system with its own battery. Check that no hybrid, start-stop or electrical warnings show on the dashboard. Ask whether any software updates or related repairs have been done.

• Gearbox and drivetrain feel

  On the test drive, check that the automatic gearbox shifts smoothly in town and under hard acceleration. Look for hesitation, jerks or harsh changes. Listen for drivetrain noise when turning slowly. Ask for records of any gearbox or differential work.

• Electronics and recall status

  Test the touchscreens, digital cluster, cameras, parking sensors, driver assistance features and all seat functions. Confirm with an Audi dealer, using the VIN, that any open recalls or service actions have been completed.

• Imports and documents

  If the car comes from another country, check that the paperwork, registration documents and service records match the VIN. Confirm the mileage is consistent across inspection reports and be cautious where records are missing.
