0:00 -Intro
0:56 - Price
Starts 126k
X5M starts 122k
GLE63 starts 127k
1:33 - Power (technically)
591 hp
X5M 617 hp
GLE63 603 hp
Also listed as the slowest 0-60 with 3.8 (3.7 BMW, 3.4 AMG)
But in real-world testing the Audi was actually the fastest for C&D
2:23 - Trunk space
30.5 cu ft
34 cu ft for X5M
33 cuft for GLE
Air suspension raise and lower
3:04 - Tech
Normal Audi UI actually not that advanced anymore
It’s still great and all you need
But relative to the other 2 it’s not as flashy or gimmicky
But your RS monitor is really cool - telemetry & temps
Wireless ACP & AA
But what about all the great things about this RSQ8?
GOOD:
3:49 - The engine
Company like the Panamera and Cayenne Turbos, the Lamborghini Urus, the Bentley Bentayga, and Audi’s own legendary RS6 & RS7
Performance is blistering getting to 60 in a conservative 3.8 sec according to Audi
591 hp
590 lbft
And now with a 48V mild hybrid system
But it’s the Sound & drama for me
Exhaust and shift sound
4:40 - The looks
Looks great and mean
Split trunk/grille thing from R8
Headlights do dances
So do taillights
Black optics & carbon optics
6:14 - The duality
Best balance of Audi and RS
Air suspension
Rear steer
Fast & fun
Dynamics package gets special sway bars and differential
7:17 - Rear seats
Great size, surprisingly
Power shades is new
Window controls for each side
Heated seats
4 zone climate
7:57 - Luxuries
Interior design & materials & accents
Black of course
Red stitched honeycomb
For RS
S usually get diamond stitched
RS embossed
Heated & cooled & Massage
But that’s enough talk let’s grab the keys and go for a spin
8:48 - POV Drive
Duality of sport and comfort SOOO well
Good front end
Faaasssstttttt
0-60 in 3.8 allegedly
Car and driver got closer to 3 flat
vs X5M Comp
vs GLE63 AMG
Vs RR Sport
Vs Cayenne Turbo

I drove all three and purchased the GLE 63s. All terrific vehicles and real world performance is negligible. I preferred the esthetics, seat comfort and infotainment system of the Mercedes. Can’t go wrong with any of these mind blowing SUV’s.
This car is so underrated, it deserves to be more valued for everything it offers and the price compared to the competition.

As soon as I Pay off my GT-R I’m picking one of these up for the family . Great review
Loved this actual review!! Helped me out alot
Superb Review !!!!👍 To the point no beating around the bush brilliantly done Keep up the good work just subscribed to your channel .
Completely agree on the duality. Had a GLE53 AMG and it rode so stiff it was hard to steer over the slightest bump. This thing goes from soft to fast like a Porsche.

@@DragomirasreviewsI hate the transmission on my wife’s Q8. Not even turbo lag just unresponsive in general, then in sport the back shifts when slowing down are harsh. Might tune
#1 in its class by Car and Driver. Of course the crap about 0-60 times is downright silly. How often are you going to get away with flooring it? Take it to the track? I’m thinking the Q8 or maybe SQ8 just so i get the engine. Buy a car for the track if you want to fly
Audi always lies about power and 0to60 of my 2004 Audi TT 3.2 v6 was 4 seconds and today's s4 s7 s6 and all rs are exactly %20 faster than they say . The learning artificial DSG also keeps getting faster with a part driver who is dramatic
