2024 Audi SQ8

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 SQ8.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2024 Audi SQ8 is EPA-rated at 15/21/17 mpg and uses an Automatic (S8) transmission. Across the 2020–2026 complaint history, owner reports remain low overall, with 2021 marking the high point at three complaints and 2024 recording the fewest at two. That places the 2024 model at the quietest end of a narrow complaint range, though the Electrical System is the leading complaint area and two recalls are on file.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Audi SQ8 recorded 2 complaints and 2 recalls, which is higher than the 0 complaints and 1 recall seen in 2020 but lower than the 3 complaints and 6 recalls reported for 2021. Complaints fell to zero in both 2025 and 2026, while recalls declined from the 2021 peak of 6 to 2 in 2024, then to 2 in 2025 and 1 in 2026. Technical Service Bulletins also show a steady decrease, dropping from 980 in 2020 to 715 in 2024 and further to 139 by 2026. This pattern places the 2024 model year on a downward trajectory in both complaint and recall metrics after the 2021 spike. Consequently, the 2024 SQ8 represents a comparatively improved year to consider for purchase, with fewer issues than the prior peak but still above the lowest‑point years that follow.
