E-volutionary drive

Electric torque vectoring enhances every drive. Enjoy sporty handling, greater dynamics and exceptional control. Sensors monitor the driving situation and distribute the drive power between the two rear wheels, taking the driver’s personal driving style into account.

Experience driving dynamics like never before

The Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback stands out for its driving dynamics. The various driving modes of the standard adaptive air suspension can easily be set via Audi drive select. Improved lateral dynamics characteristics also help to improve steering and cornering behaviour.

Electrifying coupé form

The gently sloping roof line gives the electric SUV a coupé-like appearance and reflects the vehicle’s progressive dynamism on the outside. The Audi rings in a new design and further stylish details are accentuated in particular by the ultra blue, metallic paint finish.

Illuminating Pioneering Sportiness Visionary Progressiveness

Illuminating design

The Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback shows the way forward for pioneering electric mobility: with the progressive accents of the new Audi badging strategy such as, for example, with the Audi rings in 2D look, a modified front end design and the optional Singleframe projection light.

Pioneering design

Details such as the model name in laser engraving on the B-pillar, the Audi rings in a new look and the e-tron logos are an expression of the constantly evolving design language.

Sportiness in every detail

With the distinctive front bumper, the wider wheel arches and the diffuser insert in the rear bumper that runs across almost the entire width of the rear. The black painted brake callipers with S logo enhance the sporty impression.

Visionary rear view

The small cameras of the optional virtual exterior mirrors project the images into the interior on 7-inch OLED displays. Despite reflection from the headlights, they recognise approaching vehicles with pin-sharp clarity. They also help to improve aerodynamic drag.

Progressiveness transformed into light

The optional digital matrix LED headlights sharpen the character of your Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback. The adaptive light distribution, the lane light and the orientation light assist with driving. The hazard warning projects a warning symbol onto the road in the event of accidents and hazard spots.

Design that also performs inside.

Sporty accents, innovative features, driver focus: inside, the SQ8 e-tron Sportback delivers all the hallmarks you’d expect of an Audi Sport model – and more.

Ambience Experience Spaciousness

Sporty ambience in premium quality

The interior is rounded off by stainless steel pedals. In addition, the S model is distinguished by floor mats with S logo.

High-end spatial experience

The consistently sporty character is visible in the interior. The sport seats plus, front in Valcona leather, black with rhombus pattern and S embossing define the ambience. The seat upholstery with contrasting stitching in rock grey are a further eye-catcher.

More room for sportiness

Enjoy some extra space. The spacious interior offers space in the rear for up to three people. The luggage compartment offers an impressive capacity of up to 528 litres and can be increased to as much as 1,567 litres with the seats folded down. Use the additional 62 litres of space under the bonnet as a practical storage option.

All the range

The SQ8 e-tron Sportback has a high-voltage battery with a capacity of up to 106 kWh (net) and a maximum range of up to 438 kilometres**. When the battery state of charge is low, you can make use of additional range potential by activating the Range mode in the MMI.

Charging Recuperation View

Faster charging

Fast charging is now possible with up to 170 kW at High Power Charging stations. With the e-tron route planner, charging stops are integrated into the route guidance in such a way that the high charging capacity can be used effectively.

Recover energy. Thanks to recuperation

The recuperation system can be used to recover energy, both when coasting and braking. Recuperation when coasting is activated when you take your foot off the accelerator. The degree of recuperation is selected automatically or manually via the steering wheel paddles – adjustable in three stages.

Note: The illustration is of the Audi Q8 e-tron.

Everything in view

The displays in the Audi virtual cockpit lets you keep an eye on possible recuperation and the remaining range. If you use intelligent MMI route planning, the remaining range is calculated even more precisely, e.g. with information on topography and traffic situation.

Home charging

There are various charging options for the Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback, both at home and on the road. Thanks to its increased battery capacity and the comprehensive charging service, you can also enjoy electric mobility on long journeys.

Charging at home: The e-tron compact charging system gives you maximum flexibility. It comes with an operating unit with a charging capacity of up to 7.2 kW (AC single phase), vehicle connection cable, two mains connection cables (household plug + industrial plug).

Audi x HRV home EV charging

** The Worldwide Harmonized Light-Duty Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) is designed to provide a standardised measurement and enables the consumer to make reliable comparisons between vehicles in terms of energy (fuel and/or electricity) consumption, emissions, and electric vehicle range. However, it should be noted that the results of this test may not accurately reflect the actual fuel consumption, emissions, or range that a driver might experience in the real world. Actual results may vary depending on various factors such as driving style, road conditions, temperature, weather, vehicle load, and maintenance. Therefore, the WLTP results should be considered as an indicator of the vehicle’s performance and not as a guarantee of the actual energy consumption, emissions, or range that a driver will experience in real-world driving conditions, or for making a vehicle-to-vehicle comparison.
