Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback

New presence for the Q family: the exterior design

With the imposing Singleframe in octagonal design, the Audi Q8 is the new face of the Q family. The brawny radiator grille stands upright and, together with the spoiler that has been drawn toward the front and the large, highly contoured air inlets, emphasizes the self-confident look. The elegantly sloping roofline terminates in gently inclined D-pillars and rests against the quattro blisters above the wheel arches, which house up to 22-inch wheels. A light strip connects the units at the rear.

Clarity is the new premium: the interior

Easy-to-understand symbols stand for the digital precision from Audi and for the high level of integration of architecture and operation. The central element is the top MMI touch response display. With its black - panel look, it almost dissolves into a large, black surface when switched off. All elements refer logically to one another, from the flat air vent strip to the wide console on the center tunnel bearing the tiptronic selector lever. Options including customized contour seats with massage function and ventilation, four-zone automatic air conditioning and the air quality package further enhance the elegant ambiance.

Sporty driving experience: driving dynamics and motor

The purely mechanical center differential transfers the forces to the front axle and rear axle at a ratio of 40:60 as standard. When required, it transfers the majority to the axle with the better traction. Besides the standard progressive steering, whose steering ratio becomes increasingly direct the further the steering wheel is turned, Audi also offers all-wheel steering as standard. It can turn the rear wheels as much as 5 degrees – counter to the direction of the turn at low speeds to increase agility and at higher speeds in the direction of the turn for better stability. All drive systems are particularly efficient thanks to the new mild hybrid technology (MHEV).

Sporty design

With numerous S-specific elements, the Audi SQ8 TDI proves its sporty appearance. Its powerful front is characterised by the standard fully painted S-bumper. The octagon single-frame grille features vertical twin blades, while the progressively shaped side air intake grilles are matt titanium black. The dynamic, coupé-like outline really stands out, especially in the side view. S-specific side skirts and standard 21-inch wheels further highlight the sporty character of the Audi SQ8 TDI. Optionally, you can also opt for 22-inch wheels and callipers painted in red. A horizontal design language dominates at the rear with the continuous light strip, the S-specific diffuser and the four permeated tailpipes.

Experience digitisation

A pioneering operating concept, including a large range of standard infotainment and Audi connect** - this is what is waiting for you in the Audi SQ8 TDI. In the high-resolution 12.3-inch display of the standard Audi virtual cockpit in front of you, you will find all the important indicators such as the tachometer, speedometer, clock, fuel level and remaining range. The standard top infotainment system MMI navigation plus with MMI touch response with its two displays in the centre console area is your gateway to the digital world.

Powerful drive

The Audi SQ8 TDI is powered by a 4.0 litre TDI engine. The twin-turbo V8 engine produces 320 kW (435 hp) and generates a maximum torque of 900 Newton metres. A standard electrically-driven compressor supports the turbocharger, therefore ensuring a particularly good starting performance and homogeneous power development over the entire engine speed range. The acceleration time of the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h is 4.8 seconds, and the maximum speed is regulated at 250 km/h. The likewise standard 48-volt mild-hybrid system reduces fuel consumption through energy recovery and a situation-dependent shutdown of the engine while driving - the "sailing mode".

Sleek details

This high performance SUV coupé comes with a singleframe mask in black and matt grey decorative inserts. The RS front bumper and RS rear diffuser elements are also matt grey.
