2024 Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron review
Audi's updated performance electric SUV is a beautiful object, but it's also heavy, expensive, and inefficient by EV standards.

The Audi SQ8 e-tron is the performance-focused version of Audi's large electric SUV. It uses a high-output electric drivetrain producing 370kW and 973Nm, with quattro all-wheel drive and a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. The SQ8 e-tron builds on the comfort and refinement of the Q8 e-tron with stronger acceleration, a more assertive look and a sharper performance brief. It is not as low or sporting as the e-tron GT, but it delivers the instant response and quietness of an EV in a more practical SUV body. Its appeal is the combination of luxury, all-weather traction and electric performance without sacrificing the familiar Audi SUV layout.
