2024 Audi SQ8 e-tron SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Audi SQ8 e-tron is available in just two trims: Premium Plus and Prestige. Mechanically, the two trims are identical. They have a three-motor setup (one electric motor powering the front wheels and an individual motor for each rear wheel), giving it standard all-wheel drive. Total system output is 496 horsepower. The 106-kWh battery is good for an EPA-estimated range of up to 253 miles on a single charge. Keep reading for a complete rundown of the SQ8 e-tron's standard and optional features.

Premium Plus
The Premium Plus comes well equipped from the start with:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • 9.6-kW AC onboard charger
  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Sport-tuned air suspension
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated front sport seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Four-zone automatic climate control

Standard tech features include:

  • 10.1-inch infotainment screen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)
  • Navigation system
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • Bang & Olufsen audio system
  • Carbon-fiber interior trim

The SQ8 e-tron also comes with:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the SQ8 e-tron and its surroundings in tight parking situations)

Prestige
The top-level Prestige trim builds off the Premium Plus model, adding:

  • Upgraded LED headlights
  • Soft-closing doors
  • Sunshades for rear side windows
  • Front cross-traffic warning
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

There are a handful of options available for both trim levels, including:

  • Individual Contour Seat package
    • Massaging, heated and ventilated front seats
  • AC Charging package
    • Upgraded 19.2-kW onboard charger for improved Level 2 charging speeds
    • A second Level 2 charging port on the passenger side for added convenience
  • Black Optic package
    • 22-inch gloss-black wheels
    • Gloss-black mirror caps, roof rails, grille and window trim
  • Trail hitch (3,300-pound capacity)

Which SQ8 e-tron trim does Edmunds recommend?

As there's only two trims to choose from, we suggest going with the standard Premium Plus trim. The higher-spec Prestige mode includes a few extra niceties like a head-up display, but you're not getting any more performance, range or overall comfort than the Premium Plus.
