The 2024 Audi SQ8 E-Tron is a powerful electric luxury SUV with sub-5-second acceleration times and ranges of 300 miles or more. The E-Tron’s tri-motor system, which makes it corner “like a hunting dog chasing a rabbit,” has been a promise since its first-mover deliveries started in 2019. The 2024 Audi Q8 E-Tron SUV and Sportback catch up with the Joneses with a bigger battery pack, friskier handling, and more attention paid to aerodynamics. The SQ8 E-Tron packages one motor for the front wheels plus two motors together at the rear wheels, making 396 hp and 718 lb-ft of torque. The system can launch from 0-60 mph in just 4.2 seconds, making it feel unbelievably quick and yet, almost disconcertingly, without drama. The SQ8 E-Tron uses the same motor design as the Q8 E-Tron, and its asynchronous (induction) motors are advantageous in this setup too, as when not needed they effectively have no drag.
