2025 Audi RSQ8 drops price by $25,000

Audi Australia has confirmed a more affordable RSQ8 super SUV, arriving later this year for substantially less money.

The 2025 Audi RSQ8 (or potentially model year 2026) will slot below the RSQ8 performance that’s landing in Australia now, bringing a $25,000 price cut for slightly less ‘performance’ and some choice equipment.

Arriving in the latter stages of 2025, the Audi RSQ8 retains the pre-facelift model’s 441kW/800Nm 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 (versus the RSQ8 performance’s 471kW/850Nm tune), and loses the expensive RS ceramic brakes, as well as the forged alloy wheels and stickier Pirelli P Zero tyres.

Pricing for the lower-grade super SUV will start from $230,900 before on-road costs, $24,900 less than the RSQ8 performance’s $255,800 sticker. It quotes a 3.8-second dash from 0 to 100km/h, 0.2s less than the RSQ8 performance.

It’s the first time Audi Australia has offered both a ‘standard’ RS alongside a more potent ‘RS performance’ model in its combustion-powered range.

The RS4, RS5, RS6 and RS7 were all solely offered in performance guise at the tail end of their respective lifecycles, despite the standard versions being available overseas.

However, the newly-updated e-tron GT range was the first in Australia to offer S, RS and RS performance variations.

Equipment highlights include:

  • 441kW/800Nm 4.0 TFSI V8
  • 0-100 in 3.8 seconds
  • 23-inch alloy wheels in 6-Y-twin-spoke design
  • HD Matrix LED headlights with Audi laser light
  • Rear OLED lights
  • Dynamic all-wheel steering
  • RS adaptive air suspension sport
  • Electromechanical active roll stabilisation
  • Quattro sport differential
  • RS sport exhaust system
  • Metallic paint
  • RS sport front seats – heated, ventilated
  • Fine Nappa leather upholstery with honeycomb stitch
  • Inlays in matte aluminium race, anthracite
  • 4-zone climate control
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Power-assisted door closure
  • Power tailgate
  • Air quality package incl. ioniser
  • 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit
  • Bang & Olufsen 3D sound
    • 17 speakers
    • 730 watts
  • 10.1-inch MMI navigation plus with MMI touch response
  • Audi smartphone interface
    • Wireless Apple CarPlay
    • Wireless Android Auto
  • Audi phone box light – wireless phone charger
  • Audi connect plus – online navigation, info services
  • 4 x USB ports – 2 x front, 2 x rear

RSQ8 performance adds:

  • 471kW/850Nm 4.0 TFSI V8
  • 0-100 in 3.6 seconds
  • RS ceramic brakes
  • 23-inch forged lightweight alloy wheels
  • Pirelli P Zero tyres
  • Audi virtual cockpit incl. additional RS layout
  • Inlays in aluminium brushed diagonal black

While Australians will have to wait a little longer for the standard RSQ8, the more potent and track-capable RSQ8 performance has just started landing in Australia.

Pumping out a monstrous 471kW and 850Nm from its up-tuned 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, the RSQ8 performance is the most powerful combustion-powered Audi model ever, and also is the fastest SUV around the famed Nurburgring Nordshleife.

Audi’s super SUV stole back the title from the related Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT with a 7 minute 36.698 second lap time late last year – bettering the Porsche’s 7 minute 38.925 second time by more than 2.0 seconds!

In addition to its boosted performance, the RSQ8 features “reduced sound damping material” compared to the standard RSQ8 to allow more of the RS sport exhaust’s V8 soundtrack to permeate the cabin.

The 2025 Audi RSQ8 range is available to order now.
