Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron

The Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 370 kW (496 hp) of power and 718 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 4.2 seconds (ranked №109 out of 586 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 130 mph.

Real-world range of Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron

The real-world range of the Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron is 222–272 miles (ranked №247 out of 586 electric vehicles) — depending on several factors, including:

  • Speed: Higher speeds deplete the battery faster.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold and hot weather impacts range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous terrain reduces range.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Use of features: Features like climate control and media system also affect range.

It's important to remember that these are just estimates, and your actual range may vary. It's always best to factor in these various factors when planning your trip and be prepared for potential charging stops.
