Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro R-tronic V10 DCT (2015) vs Hyundai Palisade 2.5 Turbo HEV Calligraphy (2026): which should you buy?
The Hyundai Palisade (₱3,980,000) is the superior choice for most Filipino buyers. It is significantly cheaper than the discontinued Audi R8 (2015) and offers AWD, a 5-year/200,000km warranty, and a 5-door, 7-seater layout ideal for families. The R8’s 525 PS is impressive for a coupe, but it is limited to 2 seats and has no availability, while the Palisade’s 334 PS is paired with a practical, hybrid powertrain and ample space. The decision hinges on budget, family size, and practicality; the Palisade wins on value and versatility, whereas the R8 is best for niche, performance-focused collectors.
