Darren was easy to deal with, explained everything, always helpful on each occasion we spoke. Darren was my main contact but others I spoke with were equally good to deal with. If I wanted to lease in the future I would come back to this company.
Audi Q8 SUV
50 TDI Quattro Black Edition 5dr Tiptronic [2025]
Audi Q8 SUV
Refined, well-poised and with effortless performance - the Audi Q8 is a car that perfectly epitomises the entire luxury SUV class. The Q8 was launched in 2018 as a rival to the likes of the BMW X6, Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, Range Rover Sport, and the Porsche Cayenne. It rubs shoulders with some of the very best lease vehicles on the market. And a subtle refresh for 2024 saw the Q8 being given new bumpers and HD lights at the front and rear, making it even more appealing.

Things move quickly in the car industry, and what was a class-leading car three years ago can feel like an also-ran today. That’s why Audi felt the need to update its range-topping Q8, which faces the onslaught of new models from Porsche, Land Rover, BMW and others. It wasn’t that there was anything particularly wrong with the old car, but the game has moved on since it was launched.
The changes Audi has made are minor, with new headlights, a new grille and a tweaked front bumper representing the most significant modifications. It’s hardly a total overhaul - and it falls to us to find out whether the refreshed, facelifted Q8 will be left behind by the brilliant cars with which it now competes, or whether subtle tweaks were enough to keep it competitive.
