Audi SQ8 Vorsprung

A 2023 Audi SQ8 in Vorsprung specification — the range-topping trim that leaves nothing on the options list. Finished in black with red-painted brake calipers and carbon exterior mirrors, this example has covered just 15,215 miles, making it a relatively fresh proposition for a car of this calibre. The 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 produces 500 bhp and 770 lb-ft of torque, channelled through all four wheels via an eight-speed Tiptronic gearbox.

Vorsprung trim brings the full suite: panoramic glass sunroof, HD Matrix LED headlights with dynamic indicators, 360-degree camera system, keyless entry, Bang & Olufsen sound system, and the City Assist Pack with blind spot monitoring. Additional factory options include anthracite black door mirrors and black roof rails, giving the exterior a cohesive, blacked-out presence.

As a performance SUV with genuine towing capability (3,500 kg rated), the SQ8 occupies a practical niche that few rivals match at this price point. Low mileage and high specification make this a compelling alternative to the usual BMW X5 M or Mercedes GLE 63 proposition.
