Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 SQ8 e-tron.
The 2024 Audi SQ8 e-tron marks the high-performance evolution of the brand’s electric SUV lineup, built on the same MLB Evo platform as its Q8 e-tron sibling but distinguished by its dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain and standard air suspension. With an automatic S8 transmission and a refined electric drivetrain, this model delivers a blend of precision and capability, though its limited production numbers mean real-world reliability data remains sparse. Just two owner complaints—both tied to electrical systems—and two recalls suggest early teething issues rather than systemic flaws, positioning this model year as a cautiously promising entry in the SQ8 e-tron’s development rather than a proven long-term workhorse.

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 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.
