What differentiates the 2022 Audi Q8 from the 2022 Q7 in Canada — is the price premium justified?
The 2022 Q8 is a four-door fastback SUV with a sportier character and no third row of seats. It sits on the same MLB evo platform as the Q7 but features a sloping roofline, slightly lower ground clearance, and a more expressive design. The 3.0L V6 TFSI producing 335 hp is identical. Starting price: approximately $89,500 CAD for the Progressiv — roughly $16,000 more than a comparable Q7 Progressiv. The Q8 justifies this premium through its distinctive exterior design, a more exclusive interior with dual MMI touchscreens, and stronger brand presence. If you have no need for a third row and value style, the Q8 is the logical choice within the lineup.
