AUDI SQ8 E-TRON - SHAME ON YOU AUDI

EV Channels Review

The Audi SQ8 e-tron, while retaining Audi's signature build quality and a handsome design, ultimately disappoints as a performance SUV in the current EV market. The reviewer highlights that despite the SQ8 badging and a powerful output in Sport mode, the car's performance gains over its predecessor are minimal, largely due to its significant weight. Efficiency and real-world range are major concerns, with the 106 kWh battery only yielding approximately 240 miles, falling short of competitors. The interior, though well-built, feels dated, lacking modern touches and a focus on sustainability, with many desirable features relegated to expensive optional packages. The high price point, coupled with severe depreciation and a lack of significant updates from the previous model, makes the SQ8 e-tron a questionable value proposition, especially when compared to more modern and efficient rivals.
