Audi's SQ8 e-tron sets the standard for handling when it comes to large EVs. Jonathan Crouch takes a look.
Ten Second Review
For ultimate EV performance, it's no longer sufficient for a brand to merely give its electric vehicle a drive motor on the front axle to add to the one at the back. As Audi's two SQ8 e-tron models show, ideally you'd want three motors. The result is more power, more grip and better handling: it's all good.
Background
You probably won't have heard of Audi's e-tron S, a large luxury high performance version of the brand's e-tron electric model. The S version arrived in 2020 with a bit of tech the EV sector hadn't previously seen. Offered in SUV and sleeker Sportback firms, the e-tron S was the market's first EVs to use three electric drive motors, one on the front axle and two at the rear. The result, predictably, was explosive performance.
Even more significantly, having two motors on the rear axle allowed Audi to further reinvent the EV version of its quattro four wheel drive system, drive at speed able to switch not only from front to rear but between each of the back wheels. So grip and traction were never in doubt. Audi reckoned this system set a fresh standard for the way a big EV could handle and they weren't wrong. But customer take-up was slow. So the Ingolstadt brand has revitalised this model and given it a new name, the SQ8 e-tron.

Hmm, strange how we get 6 years (or 90,000km) free servicing, _and_ a 5 year (unlimited km) warranty as standard in Australia! Seems like UK customers are getting a raw deal.

I’m aware of this car. I may not particularly like it, but I know it’s a good car, comfortable and capable of showing up some of the so called lesser cars a good run for its money!!

[@bondjamesbond9041]

Buying ANY VW group car may be OKish when new or on a money wasting PCP. However after a few years/miles they are a big gamble/ticking time bomb when it comes to reliability. Long term Lexus is the better bet.

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Would I have one? Well it’s just not got what I want from a car!! I enjoy motoring and want to be able to camp in the back of my car!! There is ONLY ONE car that provides exactly that!!

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Quite a pretty car, but how PRACTICAL is it?

[@Madonsteamrailways]

And, of course, NO CATALYTIC CONVERTER for thieves to nick!!

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Sorry!! It’s oversized, over priced and over here!! Now that’s how I see this rather large Audi!!
