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.
2. 2024 Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron Quattro (22-inch wheels)
- Base Price: $96,100
- Range: 218 mi
- Battery Capacity: 114.0 kWh
- Peak Charge Rate: 170 kW
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 3 electric motors
- Horsepower: 496
- Torque: N/A
- 0-60: 4.2 sec
- Weight: 6,118 lbs
- Length: 193.5 in
- Towing Capacity: 4,000 lbs
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.
