I’m very fond of a performance SUV and firmly believe if you are going to choose an SUV over a family wagon, then you might as well go all out. So, the Audi RS Q8 performance was my obvious choice in 2025 and it has the honour of being the most powerful series-produced combustion engine model in Audi Sport’s history. The cabin of the RS Q8 is beautiful, with a lovely aroma from the leather seats, and a fantastic sound system thanks to Bang & Olufsen 3D Advanced Sound System. There is room for four adults and the boot is a good size, and did I mention that it can do 0-100km/h in 3.6 seconds and set the SUV lap record of 7:36.698 minutes at the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit! In addition to the previously mentioned Kia Sorento, I also wanted to give a shout out to the GMC Yukon Denali. This is a full-size American SUV that will fit eight adults in comfort with room to carry their gear in the boot! I also achieve a very impressive fuel figure from the 6.2 litre V8 engine of 11.8L/100km, beating the official figure by one litre per 100km. @audiaustralia @audi - - - #suvoftheyear #COTY #drivenwomenmagazineCOTY #audirsq8performance #Audi
