Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 SQ8 e-tron Sportback.
The 2024 Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback represents Audi's application of its electric propulsion strategy to the brand's performance-oriented luxury coupe-SUV segment, built on the manufacturer's dedicated electric vehicle platform. As an all-electric model, it offers the instantaneous torque delivery and zero-emission operation characteristic of modern battery-powered vehicles.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2024 Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback dominate in one area — the electrical system, 1 of 2 reports (50%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 2 recall campaigns target the electrical system, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 0 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the electrical system pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
