NEW AUDI SQ8 REVIEW: BETTER THAN EVER?!

EV Channels Review

The Audi Q8 e-tron, previously known as the e-tron, receives a rebranding and minor updates. While the exterior and interior design remain largely unchanged from the original, Audi has introduced a new grille and alloy wheel designs. Inside, the cabin boasts high-quality materials and comfortable sport seats, though the reliance on touchscreen controls for functions like climate is a drawback. The reviewer highlights the SQ8's performance, powered by three electric motors delivering 503hp and a 106kWh battery. However, the real-world range is noted at just over 240 miles (averaging 2.3 miles/kWh), which is 88% of the claimed range but less than competitors like the Tesla Model X. The reviewer finds the SQ8's stiffer suspension, while improving handling on twisty roads, makes it a bit too firm for town driving, and ultimately concludes that the standard Q8 e-tron models are a better value proposition, recommending buyers shortlist the non-SQ8 variants for their blend of comfort and efficiency.
