The advance sale in Italy of the Audi SQ8 e-tron and Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron sports SUVs begins, making their debut in the price list in the SQ8 e-tron and sport attitude trim levels. They will arrive at dealerships in September with prices starting at €104,550 and €106,850, respectively. The sport attitude variants in the SUV and Sportback configuration, on the other hand, have a price list that starts at 122,000 euros for the first, and from 124,300 euros for the second.
This is the evolution of the e-tron S and e-tron S Sportback, with a range increased by over 90 kilometers and a charging power increased by 20 kW, which reaches 170 kW, for 104 kilometers of autonomy in 10 minutes. The cars in question, capable of delivering 503 HP and 973 Nm of torque, can also count on a new battery with a 20% higher capacity for a range of up to 471 km in the WLTP (Sportback) cycle. In terms of performance, the shot from 0 to 100 km/h takes place in 4.5 seconds, while the maximum speed, self-limited, is 210 km/h.
The dynamics take advantage of the electric quattro all-wheel drive with electric torque vectoring function, the adaptive air suspension with specific calibration, and the progressive steering, in addition to the four-stage ESC.
Also for the other variants in the range, which respond to the names of Audi Q8 and Q8 Sportback 55 e-tron quattro and 50 e-tron quattro, the S versions offer a battery with a nominal 19 kWh more and a maximum recharge power of 170 kW, to recover from 10% to 80% of energy in about 31 minutes.
