The SQ8 is a masterclass in combining raw 500 bhp power with everyday usability in an imposing SUV package. It delivers genuinely engaging driving dynamics and cutting-edge tech for those who refuse to compromise on performance or luxury, though the steep ₹177.72 lakh price tag and efficiency expectations demand serious commitment.

Stands out

  • Commanding 500 bhp and 770 Nm torque delivers genuine thrills on demand
  • 8 airbags and ADAS functions provide solid safety net for the segment
  • Ventilated seats and panoramic sunroof elevate daily luxury experience
  • 8 tech features ensure modern connectivity and convenience
  • Imposing presence and 5-seat configuration offer practical family capability

!Gives us pause

  • Premium ₹177.72 lakh positioning limits accessibility to true enthusiasts only
  • Efficiency remains a trade-off against performance-first engineering philosophy
  • ADAS functionality limited to 2 features—minimal autonomous assistance compared to rivals
  • Fuel consumption expectations should be realistic given the powertrain's appetite
