2025 Audi Q8

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Q8.

The 2025 Audi Q8 enters the model’s eighth year with just three owner complaints recorded, the fewest of any year since the nameplate launched in 2019 when 107 complaints were logged. Across the 2019‑2026 span the engine remains the leading complaint category, and the current model year carries two active recalls. This sharp drop in reported issues suggests the latest iteration is trending toward a notably cleaner reliability profile compared with its early‑generation counterparts.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The Audi Q8 has shown a consistent downward trend in federal complaints, dropping from 107 in 2019 to just 3 in 2025. Technical Service Bulletins have similarly declined over the generation, falling from a high of 1,328 in 2019 to 522 for the 2025 model year. For 2025, the record shows 2 recalls and 3 complaints, split between the engine, air bags/forward collision avoidance, and an "unknown or other" category where the data does not specify the cause. With one reported crash complaint and zero fire complaints, the 2025 model sits near the bottom of the generation's complaint arc. Given the minimal volume of reported issues compared to earlier years, this is a good year to buy.
