Buying the 2020 Audi Q8

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2020 Audi Q8 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 2020 Audi Q8 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

What to check on the Q8

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

What the figures tell you

Its powertrain is the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Expect about 38 litres for every 300 km, going by its 12.7 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $59.07 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Room inside

As a full-size SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

When the Q8 makes sense

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Rent it for a week first

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Try the Q8 on your commute, then decide.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $196.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.69 in fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

When you know your dates

A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
