Restyled in `2024`, the `RSQ8` keeps the same philosophy but pushes the formula further with revised presentation, sharper calibration and up to `640 hp` in `Performance` form. Against a BMW X6 M Competition, it is still more of an enormous fast GT than a conventional SUV. Because it is still very recent, the used-car reading should focus above all on network history, software follow-up and chassis condition.
The car still combines the mild-hybrid `4.0 TFSI V8`, the `8-speed tiptronic`, quattro and the `12 V` and `48 V` networks, with even more importance placed on updates, `ADAS` calibrations, lighting and the consistency of onboard functions. `Performance` versions and heavily optioned cars add even more pressure on brakes, tyres, suspension and cooling. Even while young, an `RSQ8 facelift` does not forgive a weak battery, vague software history or already marked running gear.
