Rank #7 in Best Kids Ride On Cars 2026: 10 Ranked, 6V vs 12V
COSTWAY Licensed Audi 12V Ride On Car, Black
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The COSTWAY 12V Electric Kids Ride on Car sits at number seven in this guide: a remote-controlled 12V ride-on with LED headlights, music playback, an openable door and a safety belt, priced at £139.95 and rated 4.3 out of 5 across 48 customer ratings.
Two things in this particular listing are worth a second look. The product title calls it a "Licensed Audi Toy Vehicle" and never says which Audi; it is the fourth bullet that names it as the Audi SQ8, and the model field gives only COSTWAY's own code, HZB-088. Meanwhile the run time has no figure attached to it at all — the listing promises "hours of play on a single charge" and stops there, where other cars in this guide quote one hour or eight hours. The 4.3 rating itself is genuine, but the breakdown behind it puts 10% of ratings at one star and another 10% at three. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the COSTWAY HZB-088 and from the buyer ratings shown there; none of it comes from a test we carried out.

Questions people ask
What battery does the COSTWAY HZB-088 use?
The title and the fourth bullet both say 12V, and the bullet describes a 12V battery with dual motors. The listing does not state a charging time.
Which Audi model is it?
The title says only "Licensed Audi Toy Vehicle". The fourth bullet names it as the Licensed Audi SQ8, while the specification fields give COSTWAY's own model number, HZB-088, and no Audi model name.
How long does the battery last per charge?
No run time is quoted. The fourth bullet says "hours of play on a single charge" without a number, so there is nothing to set against the one-hour or eight-hour figures other listings in this guide publish.
What do you get in the box?
The Included Components field lists 1 x Charger, 1 x Kids Ride on Car and 1 x Remote Control.
What age and weight is it rated for?
Manufacturer recommended age is 3 years and up, and the maximum weight capacity is 30 Kilograms. The COSTWAY bullet describes it as attractive to kids over 3 years old.
How does its price compare with the rest of the guide?
At £139.95 the COSTWAY HZB-088 costs more than the 12V car listed at £113.98 and less than the £216.99 car, which is the only one in the ten running a 6V battery.
