2023 Audi SQ8 Black Edition

This 2023 Audi SQ8 in the Black Edition specification pairs the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged TFSI V8 with an eight-speed Tiptronic gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive. Output is rated at 500 bhp and 770 Nm, which Audi pegs at a 4.1-second sprint to 62mph, with the top speed limited to 155 mph. It is the V8 petrol route into the SQ8, rather than the diesel-focused alternatives that preceded it, and the combination of a large SUV body with this much shove makes it a genuine long-distance performance machine.

This example is finished in Mythos Black metallic and has covered 37,213 miles. The Black Edition look is completed by Audi Sport 5-V-spoke star-style alloys in black with diamond-turned faces. Factory options include the Comfort and Sound Package, which brings keyless entry, a premium sound system and a 360-degree camera, and the Parking Assist Pack with front, rear and side sensors plus a rear-view camera.

Equipment also covers the Audi smartphone interface with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers. A 3,500 kg towing rating adds practicality to the performance, which suits owners who want a fast family SUV that can also pull a trailer. The page does not state the number of previous owners.
