Both the Range Rover Velar and the Audi Q8 offer a lot of power. Whether you’re looking for speed or towing capability, both models have what you need. However, there’s a clear winner when you put them side by side.
The Range Rover Velar offers an exciting drive. It gives you multiple performance-inspired engines to choose from. For instance, the 3.0L engine gets up to 395 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque.
With the Audi Q8, there’s only one option under the hood. It comes with a standard 3.0L V6 engine, but it can’t provide quite as much power. It can only produce up to 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.
No matter which engine you’re interested in, the Velar offers a dependable drive with standard All Wheel Drive. It keeps you in control and helps you adjust to tough driving conditions with Terrain Response®. This system offers selectable driving modes, like Sand, Mud and Ruts, and Grass/Gravel/Snow.
While the Q8 also comes with All Wheel Drive, it’s not as versatile on tough terrain. Rather than offering specific driving modes, it groups all driving conditions into Offroad mode.
SUVs like the Range Rover Velar and the Audi Q8 have spacious interiors fit for all your family adventures. Whether you’re bringing along cargo, driving the kids to school, or transporting a new couch, you’ll have all the space you need.
When you have precious cargo in your hands, you don’t want to set it on the ground while trying to open your trunk. The Range Rover Velar is easy to pack when you’ve got your hands full, too, thanks to an available powered gesture tailgate.
The Audi Q8 also offers easy access with a hands-free tailgate, but there’s not as much room inside.
From running to the mall to packing for a family vacation, the Range Rover Velar provides lots of space for your things. The trunk features 34.4 cubic feet of cargo room. Plus, if you need to load more, you can fold down the second-row seats and get up to 61.1 cubic feet of cargo room.
In comparison, the trunk of the Audi Q8 features only 30.5 cubic feet of space. While the second-row seats also fold down, there’s slightly less space than in the Velar with 60.7 cubic feet of cargo room.
Whether you’re driving across town or heading to a new destination for the first time, safety is always the top priority. The Range Rover Velar and the Audi Q8 both understand this. That’s why you’ll find comprehensive safety suites with either model.
On top of offering reliable traction with All Wheel Drive, the Range Rover Velar helps keep you safe with six airbags and lots of driver-assistance features. To help prevent accidents, Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Blind Spot Assist all come standard. You’ll even have more awareness while you’re backing up with a standard Rear Camera.
The Audi Q8 also has six airbags and offers some similar driver-assistance features.
While the above features monitor what’s around your SUV, the Driver Condition Monitor in the Velar is focused on you. It analyzes your driving patterns and reminds you to keep your eyes on the road if it detects any signs that you’re drowsy or distracted.
While the Audi Q8 can also help you avoid getting into an accident, it doesn’t offer anything like a Driver Condition Monitor.
