From sophisticated design, to more performance and endurance, to a state-of-the-art interior made with sustainable materials – Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron Full of details.

The Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron is an eye-catcher among all-electric cars. The gently sloping roofline gives the SUV an almost coupe-like appearance, thus representing progress. The striking bumpers at the front, the wide wheel arches and the diffuser extension, which extends almost the entire width of the rear part in the rear bumper, emphasize the S-sportiness of the Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron.

The new design of the well-known four rings has a two-dimensional appearance and is a future-oriented technology. The license plate is attached directly to the distinctive radiator grille. Well-thought-out details such as the laser engraving of the model designation on the B-pillar and the e-tron lettering underscore the further development of the design language.

Modern design with modern technology

The interior values ​​of the Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron are also more than impressive: three electric motors – one on the front axle and two on the rear axle – give the all-electric vehicle a good portion of the liveliness and dynamism, which so much driving pleasure brings. In order for the Sportback to put nearly 370 kW of silent power (a performance boost in S gear)—more than 500 hp—safely onto the road, the all-wheel drive system also maximizes traction and stability.

Electric torque distribution (torque vectoring) contributes to sporty handling and at the same time better handling. Sensors monitor the vehicle’s condition and take driving behavior into account when distributing drive force between the two rear wheels. The sport adaptive air suspension comes as standard and allows you to easily select a variety of driving modes (eg Efficiency Sport) via Audi Select. At the same time, the steering and cornering behavior of the Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron has been improved by the developed lateral dynamics characteristics.

Top performance and range

Despite its power, the Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron can cover up to 513 kilometers on a single battery charge (according to WLTP). The power pack can be recharged at public charging stations, at home, with industrial electricity and now also at high power charging stations with up to 170 kW. With maximum DC charging power, the battery charges from 10% to 80% in just 31 minutes. The fully electric vehicle also generates its own electricity thanks to a recuperation system: energy is recovered when braking and when starting off. The recovery score takes place in three stages, either automatically or manually via paddles on the steering wheel.

In order for the Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron to fully exploit its electric potential, the e-tron route plan 1 integrates the necessary charging stops along the way and thus efficiently increases the charging performance. The Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron has a second AC charging port on the passenger side so that you can easily recharge your batteries wherever you are – this gives you added flexibility. Plug & Charge provides added convenience, as authentication and payment take place automatically at all compatible charging stations, without a card or app. The e-tron charging service provides access to more than 420,000 charging points in 26 European countries.

Lots of space and entertainment in the passenger compartment

Despite its sporty character, the Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron’s spacious interior has not been neglected, offering enough space for three people in the rear – including ample headroom and legroom. When 528 liters is enough in the trunk in everyday life, it increases to 1,567 liters with the seats folded down. Another practical detail is the small 62-liter storage space under the front hood.

To make sure every trip is also an entertaining experience, there are over 100 million songs available to stream via built-in Apple Music, with the MMI control in the center console making operation even easier. Many Audi Connect services also open the doors to a wide range of digital information, such as online traffic information and on-demand job booking.
