The 2025 Audi RS Q8 and RS Q8 performance both feature an aggressive design that distinguishes them as high-performance vehicles within the Q8 lineup. The front fascia has been reworked with larger air intakes, a reimagined honeycomb grille, and a more pronounced blade element in high-gloss black for the RS Q8 and matte gray for the RS Q8 performance. This sharp, sculpted look enhances the car’s bold presence, signaling its performance pedigree. The wider, more muscular stance is further highlighted by a revised rear diffuser that houses the signature RS oval exhaust outlets. These visual cues not only emphasize the car's power but also aid in aerodynamics.

Additionally, both models come with new, lightweight wheels that sharpen the vehicle’s stance and reduce unsprung weight for better handling. The RS Q8 performance takes it a step further with an exclusive set of forged 23-inch 5-Y spoke alloy wheels, which reduce overall weight by 20 kilograms. New paint options like Sakhir Gold, Ascari Blue, and Chili Red provide more opportunities for personalization, while RS-specific design elements, such as blacked-out accents or matte gray exterior mirrors, underline the sporty character of the car.

Both versions of the RS Q8 come packed with the latest in automotive technology. The Audi MMI infotainment system includes dual touchscreens for seamless control of vehicle settings, navigation, and media. The system is intuitive and features haptic feedback for a more responsive experience. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, ensuring seamless smartphone integration.

The 2025 RS Q8 also boasts cutting-edge driver assistance technologies, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and Audi’s Pre Sense safety suite. For those looking to maximize performance, the Audi Drive Select system allows drivers to switch between multiple driving modes, including Comfort, Dynamic, and RS-specific modes, which tailor the vehicle’s throttle response, suspension, and steering to the chosen setting. For enhanced visibility and safety, Matrix LED headlights with optional laser light technology are available, providing optimal illumination and a striking visual signature.
