2021 Audi SQ8

In a market flush with go-fast SUVs, the 5-door Audi SQ8 stands out as one of the better ones this year. For starters, it's one of the best-looking SUVs out there thanks to its sleek coupe styling, and there are just enough aggressive design features to make you know that this machine means business. On the inside, it's all typically Audi: the build quality and material choices are excellent, and the tech is up to date. Under the hood, that twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 delivers enough power to sucker-punch most sports cars from the lights but is also very refined when need be. As a family vehicle, the SQ8 works brilliantly and offers a generous amount of trunk space for all your family-focused needs. Sure the Porsche handles better, and the BMW is slightly quicker to 60 mph, but this is still an excellent choice. In review, the Audi SQ5 is a great family car, and it has the reliability and safety rating to back that up, even if it does seem more like a reckless speedster at times.

The top-tier Prestige model of the 2021 Audi SQ8 SUV has a price of $95,000, which we think is a fair deal for everything you get. This includes a few nice-to-haves such as heated rear seats, an upgraded interior, and a head-up display. In terms of optional extras, we'd go for the $5,900 Sport Package, which adds a Quattro sport rear differential, active roll stabilization, and red brake calipers (which adds 10 hp per caliper). If you can't dish out the extra bucks for the Prestige, the Premium Plus still feels decidedly premium. You can't go wrong here.
