You’d be forgiven for thinking the Audi Q8 should be a bigger SUV than the Audi Q7. The Q7 seats 7, but the Q8 does not; it seats 5 and does not have a 3rd row, like the Q7. 

Think of them this way: They both share many interior details, media functions and package and engine options. The Q8 is sportier and has more premium features. With seating for 7, the Q7 is the better option for families. 

Or is it? We took a good look at both, priced from $60,500 to $97,600, to find out, an discovered some new details for 2025 along the way.
