The 2024 Audi SQ8 e-tron and SQ8 Sportback e-tron are powered by three electric motors, providing 94 more horsepower and 228 more lb.-ft. of torque than the 2024 Q8 e-tron. The three-motor drivetrain offers superior straight-line performance, improved dynamics, and traction capabilities thanks to standard electric torque vectoring. The SQ8 e-tron can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 4.2 seconds, and its boost mode can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 4.6 seconds. The SQ8 e-tron also features standard 12-way adjustable power S-logo embossed front sport seats and a performance-themed Carbon square structure interior trim finish.

The SQ8 e-tron offers standard four-zone automatic climate control with a heat pump and comfort pre-conditioning. It also incorporates the Audi MMI touch response operating system, with two large high-resolution displays and natural voice control. The three-motor drivetrain also improves traction on acceleration, allowing for better traction on low friction surfaces.

The SQ8 e-tron features a mixed steel/aluminum hybrid construction, with a 40% aluminum content and a strengthened hybrid structure. The EPA estimated range for the 2024 SQ8 e-tron and SQ8 Sportback e-tron is 253 miles with standard 20-inch wheels and 218 miles with optional 22-inch wheels. The 2024 Audi SQ8 e-tron is expected to arrive in U.S. showrooms in the fourth quarter of 2023.
