2024 Audi RS Q8

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 RS Q8.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2024 Audi RS Q8 is a high-performance luxury SUV equipped with an automatic S8 transmission, delivering EPA-estimated fuel economy of 13 mpg city, 19 mpg highway, and 15 mpg combined, placing it among the less fuel-efficient options in its class but reflecting its performance-oriented nature; this model year carries three recalls, with service brakes representing the most frequent owner complaint area across 19 total reported issues, and while its complaint history spanning 2020 through 2026 shows remarkably consistent low volumes at just two complaints per year across the entire range, the 2024 iteration sits within this established pattern of modest but persistent reliability concerns rather than representing any significant departure from the model's historical performance trajectory.

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 2024 Audi RS Q8 sits in the middle of this generation’s federal record: complaints are at zero, matching 2020, 2025, and 2026 and well below the two complaints logged in 2021, while recalls sit at three—down from the generation-high seven in 2021 but above the one-to-two seen in 2025–2026. TSB volume follows the same arc, falling from 1,183 in 2021 to 746 in 2024 and continuing downward to 509 in 2025 and 142 in 2026, which places the 2024 model past the launch-period service bulletin peak but not yet at the late-production low. The listed 2024 complaint categories center on service brakes and the electrical system, with one fire complaint and no crash complaints, though the data does not specify root causes or whether these items relate to the three recalls. Overall, 2024 looks like a relatively settled year, with lower recall exposure than 2021 but slightly more remaining factory attention than the later 2025–2026 models. Verdict: it is a reasonable used buy, provided all open recalls are completed and the service history is clean, though buyers seeking the lowest recall and TSB counts should consider a 2025 or 2026 instead.
