Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi Q8 offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Land Rover Discovery Sport. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Audi Q8 and the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Audi Q8, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi Q8 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q8 is much wider than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Audi Q8, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Handling
The Audi Q8 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi Q8 greatly out-muscles the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi Q8 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Utility
The Audi Q8 has less seating than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, making the Land Rover Discovery Sport the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Audi Q8 as you will in the Land Rover Discovery Sport.
