The SQ8 e-tron Sportback is slightly shorter and less capacious inside than its (slightly) more upright SQ8 e-tron sibling. Other than that, it's a carbon copy, which means it's got three electric motors that deliver a big punch but also guzzle electrons like they're going out of style. We'd rather maximize the range and live with the base 20-inch wheels.

Add the optional upsized wheels to the SQ8 e-tron Sportback and your EPA range drops by an incredible 35 miles. That's a major price to pay for aesthetics, though the big wheels definitely look better.
