V8 thrill in a coupe-shaped SUV
Drive a SQ8
The SQ8 is a five-seat luxury SUV with a 500-hp twin-turbo V8, quattro all-wheel drive, and a coupe-like roofline. For an Audi car rental that blends real speed with everyday room, this is your pick — 0-60 mph in 4.0 sec.
On Turo, you book your SQ8 from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Choose your dates, pick the listing that suits your trip, and the driver's seat is yours.

Twin-turbo V8 power on demand
The SQ8's 4.0L twin-turbo V8 makes 500 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque, enough to reach 60 mph in 4.0 sec. An eight-speed Tiptronic automatic sends that power to all four wheels, and a 48V mild-hybrid system works alongside the engine. Merging, passing, and long mountain grades all come easy.
Sport air suspension and rear-wheel steering
Every SQ8 comes standard with sport adaptive air suspension and rear-wheel steering. Together, they help a 5,203-lb SUV feel more nimble than its size suggests (a welcome surprise the first time you take a tight on-ramp).
The adaptive air suspension adjusts to the road, so the ride stays composed whether you're cruising the interstate or tracing curves through the hills. Rear-wheel steering lets the back wheels help with turns, which makes U-turns, parking garages, and crowded lots less of a chore. You'll feel the difference in the first few miles, and you'll keep noticing it every time the road bends.
Cabin comfort in every seat
The SQ8 wraps you and your passengers in comfort from the moment you settle in. A heated steering wheel takes the edge off chilly mornings, and four-zone climate control lets everyone dial in their own temperature. Overhead, a panoramic sunroof fills the cabin with daylight.
Book a Prestige trim and the list grows. You'll get massaging front seats, heated rear seats for your back-row crew, and noise-reducing side glass that keeps the cabin calm at highway speeds. Long drives start to feel shorter — and your passengers won't be counting the miles.
Stand out with a SQ8
The SQ8 gives you V8 performance without giving up five-seat practicality or 33.7 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats. It's a natural fit for weekend getaways, special occasions, or a test drive before you buy a performance SUV. Compare it with other luxury SUV rentals on Turo to find your perfect match.
Top SQ8 features
Sound and tech
Three features shape your time behind the wheel: sound and tech, cargo and everyday ease, and coupe-inspired design.
The SQ8 surrounds you with Bang & Olufsen sound, so your road-trip playlist gets the stage it deserves. Every song, podcast, and call comes through with rich, room-filling clarity.
Up front, a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel keeps key driving info in your line of sight. Two touchscreens, measuring 10.1 inches and 8.6 inches, put the controls within easy reach. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect your phone without a cable, so your maps, music, and messages are ready before you leave the curb.
Cargo and everyday ease
The SQ8 gives you 33.7 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats and up to 60.8 cu ft with the rear seats folded. That's room for luggage, groceries, or a weekend's worth of gear.
A hands-free power liftgate opens the cargo area when your arms are full. Remote start lets you get the SQ8 running before you head out, and a surround-view camera helps you ease into tight parking spots with confidence. These small touches add up, especially on a busy travel day when every minute counts.
Coupe-inspired design
The SQ8 trades a boxy profile for a coupe-like roofline that sweeps toward the rear. S-specific styling and an athletic stance signal its performance before you even turn the key. It's built for five, with no third row, so the design stays sleek instead of stretched.
That makes it a smart match if you'd rather turn heads than haul a crowd. Pull up to a dinner reservation, a wedding, or a hotel entrance, and the SQ8 does the talking. You get luxury SUV comfort wrapped in a shape that looks fast standing still.

Top tips and things to know before renting a SQ8
Get to know your SQ8
Check the trim, plan for premium fuel, and know how pricing works before you book. These tips will help you get the most from your SQ8 trip.
Start by checking the year and trim on the listing. The SQ8 comes in Premium Plus and Prestige trims, and Prestige adds extras like a head-up display and parking assistance.
The SQ8 runs on premium fuel. Because of their market value, SQ8 listings may fall into Turo's Deluxe or Super Deluxe Class, which carry higher age minimums.

SQ8 driving tips
Plan your fuel stops, learn the SQ8's size, and lean on its tech when parking. The SQ8 gets an estimated 16 mpg combined (14 city and 20 highway) on premium fuel, so map your gas station stops on longer drives.
Before you head into traffic, spend a few minutes in a quiet parking lot to get a feel for its footprint. Try the drive modes on an open stretch first, then lean on the surround-view camera when it's time to park.
How much does it cost to rent a SQ8?
Each local vehicle owner sets the daily price for their SQ8, so rates vary by year, trip length, location, and any Extras you add. Longer trips can cost less per day, thanks to trip-duration discounts.
Listings may offer discounts for trips of three days, one week, two weeks, three weeks, or a month. Book four or more days ahead and you can get a 10% non-refundable discount.
Need it for more than 30 days? A long-term car rental on Turo uses Pay as you go.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
