Audi SQ8 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (from 2023) — First Generation Restyling 1
The updated first-generation Audi SQ8 keeps the recipe simple: one large five-door SUV body, serious performance hardware underneath, and a cabin built for long distances. Here is what that means day to day.
The Audi SQ8 engine you will most often meet is the 4.0 TFSI, a turbocharged gasoline V8 paired with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. That powertrain delivers effortless overtaking, while the drivetrain spreads torque across both axles for confident traction in rain or on loose surfaces.
Audi SQ8 trim levels sit on top of the technical version rather than beside it: the 4.0 TFSI AT carries equipment configurations listed simply as SQ8. Because this is already the performance flagship, sport seats, adaptive suspension and premium audio typically arrive through option packages instead of separate lower grades.
