- Q6 is only 0.2 cm wider than the Q8.
- Q8 is 14 cm longer than the Q6.
- Q6 is almost 6 cm higher than the Q8, though this does not account for air suspension options.
- Q6 has a more modern and carefully thought about design.
- The Q8 is a good improvement, being a facelifted model of the e-tron.
- Looks are subjective, but Q6 is the more modern car.
- SQ6 e-tron has a gloss black look and a front fascia that is very similar to Porsche Macan's. The lower parts in the front move according to cooling needs and aerodynamics.
- Both the Q6 and Q8 have a new logo on the front.
- Q8 gives a more conventional look with headlights in one unit, has gloss black grill and accents, is the "Black Edition," and is smart-looking.
- There are minor differences between both vehicles inside.
- The reviewer likes the larger 14.6-inch central display that comes standard on the Q6. The passenger display is better than gloss black plastic, but is only there in some models.
- Sound and Vision Pack in Q6 includes Bang and Olufsen 3D speakers with headrest integration, ambient lighting, augmented reality head-up display, and increased charging output for USB ports.
- Interior features include full leather sport seats that are comfortable in both the cars, but better in the SQ6 E-tron.
- The wheels are smaller on the SQ6 as well.
- B mode for regenerative braking exists on both cars.
- AC charging with 22 kWh is possible only on the SQ6, but takes about 4 hours to charge.
- Range is 349-340 miles for the SQ6 and 330 miles for the Q8. The reviewer reports that the real range of the Q8 is between 250 and 280 miles.
- Boot space is bigger in the Q8 (569 L) than in the Q6 (526 L).
- The Q6's charge ports are in a more convenient rear placement, though they open slowly.
- The electric rear handle will only work if pulled gently, or will fail to operate and open the car.
- The reviewer finds the Q6 to be more ergonomic.
- For back passengers, both cars provide excellent knee and head room, but back amenities are less desirable on the Q8, with just 12 V. Cupholders are an extra expense as well, and there are detachable isofix mounts, all of which are inferior to the Q6 model.
- The reviewer concludes that if costs are similar between the two, it is preferable to choose the new Q6 since it’s modern, has more range and modern technology, and has a smoother drive.
