AUDI RSQ8 | 2026

Audi’s RSQ8 is one of those rare SUVs that genuinely surprises you, even if you know cars. The 2026 model keeps its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, putting out a real 600 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. It’s not just the numbers, it’s the way the RSQ8 moves, especially when you push it out of a quiet Jumeirah villa lane onto the wide sweep of Al Khail Road. The throttle response is instant, and despite the size, the body control is sharp. It hints at the Lamborghini Urus underneath, but the RSQ8 is more understated, which suits Dubai drivers who appreciate performance but don’t need to shout about it at every traffic light.

You notice the difference the moment you leave the city grid and head for a weekend up to Hatta. The adaptive air suspension soaks up dips and rough patches on the mountain approach, and the Quattro all-wheel drive keeps things steady even when the tarmac changes or a stray goat decides to cross. Inside, the Valcona leather, four-zone climate, and Bang & Olufsen sound system make long stretches easy, no one is fighting over the temperature, and the rear-seat touchscreens keep everyone entertained. There’s real room for luggage too, whether it’s gear for a desert night or a full set of shopping bags from Dubai Mall.

A lot of renters choose the RSQ8 for family trips or for business clients who don’t want to compromise. It’s quick enough to get through Sheikh Zayed’s flowing traffic, but also quiet and refined pulling up at DIFC or the entrance to Atlantis The Royal. The panoramic roof and Matrix LED headlights come into their own on late-night runs, opening up the view across the Dubai skyline or lighting your way along the quieter desert bypasses.
