Audi SQ8 TFSI quattro tiptronic

The 2026 Audi SQ8 TFSI quattro tiptronic brings a distinctly performance-focused character to the large luxury SUV format. Its V8 petrol engine uses direct fuel injection, twin turbocharging and Cylinder on Demand technology, producing 373 kW and 770 Nm. That output is matched with an eight-speed tiptronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, giving the SQ8 a powertrain designed to deliver strong, composed progress across a wide range of driving conditions.

A claimed 0–100 kph time of 4.1 seconds places the SQ8 firmly in high-performance territory, while the standard adaptive air suspension sport and all-wheel steering are intended to give its substantial body a more controlled and agile feel. The self-locking centre differential forms part of the quattro system, and electromechanical power steering supports the vehicle dynamics package. With Euro 6e emissions compliance and a fuel tank with increased capacity, the SQ8 combines its performance hardware with the practicality expected of a large SUV.

The cabin is configured around comfort and long-distance usability as well as sporting intent. Valcona leather upholstery with an embossed S logo and diamond stitching gives the interior a tailored appearance, complemented by front sports seats, electrically adjustable front seats with memory function and four-way lumbar support. A heated multifunction leather steering wheel with shift paddles keeps key controls close at hand, while four-zone climate control allows separate temperature settings throughout the cabin. The panoramic glass sunroof, privacy glass and heat-insulating windscreen add to the sense of space and everyday comfort.

Practical details are thoughtfully addressed. The luggage compartment lid opens and closes electrically, with an electric luggage compartment cover helping to keep the load area organised. Power-assisted door closing adds a refined touch, while the available ball mount trailer hitch extends the vehicle’s utility. A space-saving temporary spare wheel and tyre pressure monitoring system are also included.

Technology is integrated throughout the SQ8. Audi connect navigation and infotainment, Audi connect emergency call and service with remote control, a head-up display and the Audi phone box light support connected, informed driving. Surround-view cameras, park assist plus, cruise control with speed limiter and Audi pre sense rear provide useful assistance in tight spaces and on the road. Matrix LED headlights, LED rear lights plus, daytime running lights and a headlight cleaning system complete the lighting and visibility package.

The vehicle is specified with a selection of visual and tactile enhancements, including 22-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels in a black metallic 10-Y-spoke design, a high-gloss black exterior package and high-gloss black mirror housings. Grey Oak inlays, a black Dinamica headliner and a sensory package further distinguish the specification. Taken together, the SQ8 offers a combination of V8 performance, sophisticated all-wheel-drive technology, premium cabin appointments and SUV versatility.
