Verdict
Grand SUV coupé 5 étoiles Euro NCAP (2019), coffre de 605 litres, 5 places. Les retours publiés sur sa fiabilité manquent : un seul avis Caradisiac détaille des pannes d'électronique (sur une version hybride rechargeable), les autres avis sont positifs (17,1/20 sur 5 avis). Le budget d'entretien et d'assurance reste élevé : exigez un historique Audi complet.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 157 to 193 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Inspection checklist
Audi Q8 I (4MN) — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier au numéro de série, chez Audi, les campagnes de rappel en cours.
- Tester le MMI, les vitres, le hayon, l'attelage électrique et la trappe de charge sur l'hybride rechargeable.
- Contrôler l'état de la suspension et des pneus (voiture lourde et grandes jantes).
- Demander les factures d'entretien Audi et le détail des options.
- Prévoir le budget d'assurance et de carburant : la consommation mixte annoncée va de 6,8 à 9,1 l/100 km.
Questions to ask the seller
- Des campagnes de rappel ont-elles été effectuées sur cette voiture ?
- L'électronique (MMI, vitres, hayon) a-t-elle déjà été réparée ?
- L'entretien a-t-il toujours été fait dans le réseau Audi ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
