SQ8 e-tron specs

Range

Horsepower

496 hp

Acceleration

0-60 mph in 4.2 sec

Top speed

130 mph

Three motors and 496 hp of electric thrust

The SQ8 e-tron's headline act is its power. Three electric motors — one up front, two in the rear — deliver 496 hp and 718 lb-ft of torque in boost mode. Tap into boost for a 0–60 mph run in 4.2 sec, while electric torque vectoring manages how the motors send power to the wheels.

Sculpted S design with a wider stance

The SQ8 e-tron looks fast before you touch the accelerator. Up front, flat two-dimensional rings sit above a closed Singleframe grille with a light strip — a clean, confident face for an electric SUV. S-specific sculpted bumpers and silver accents mark it as a performance model from every angle.

Wheel-arch flares widen the body by 1.5 in, giving the SUV a broader, more planted look at the curb. Pull up to a hotel entrance or a dinner reservation, and you'll notice heads turn. It's a design that signals what the three motors underneath can do, without shouting about it.

A cabin wired for sound and comfort

Inside, the SQ8 e-tron centers on two touchscreens. The MMI touch response system pairs a 10.1-in upper display with an 8.6-in lower display, and both use haptic feedback. You feel each tap register, which helps when you're adjusting settings on the move.

Bang & Olufsen 3D sound comes standard, so your road-trip playlist gets the treatment it deserves. Four-zone automatic climate control with a heat pump lets the driver and passengers dial in their own comfort. It's a cabin that keeps the whole crew happy, whether you're crossing town or crossing state lines.

Stand out with a SQ8 e-tron

The SQ8 e-tron suits guests who want a five-seat luxury EV with sports-car pace. It's a strong pick for a city weekend, a special occasion, or a test run of EV life before you buy one. If it wins you over, compare more electric vehicle rentals on Turo for your next trip.

Top SQ8 e-tron features

Three standouts define the SQ8 e-tron: fast-charging road-trip range, a composed ride on air, and room for five and their gear.

A composed ride on air

The SQ8 e-tron rides on adaptive air suspension with electronic damper control. The dampers adjust electronically, so the SUV can stay comfortable on the highway and controlled when you pick up the pace. For a vehicle this size, that balance makes long drives feel easier.

Underneath, quattro all-wheel drive keeps the SUV planted by sending power to both axles. Add three motors and electric torque vectoring to the mix, and you get a big SUV that feels confident through curves. It's the kind of ride that lets you enjoy the power without bracing for it.

Room for five and their gear

The SQ8 e-tron seats five, so the whole crew rides together. Behind the second row, you get 28.5 cu ft of cargo space for suitcases, strollers, or a weekend's worth of bags. Fold the rear seats, and that space grows to 56.4 cu ft.

That mix of space and pace makes it an easy pick when you're comparing SUV rental options for a family trip or a group getaway. You can pack for the whole trip and still drive something thrilling. Load up the luggage, settle everyone in, and save the excitement for the on-ramp.

Top tips and things to know before renting a SQ8 e-tron

A little prep goes a long way with the SQ8 e-tron: check the listing details, plan your charging, and know how pricing works.

Get to know your SQ8 e-tron

Start with the listing's year, trim, and wheel size, since wheel size changes range. The SQ8 e-tron is rated for 253 miles on 20-in wheels and 218 miles on 22-in wheels.

To find one near you, browse Audi rentals in Los Angeles, Audi rentals in Miami, and Audi rentals in Las Vegas. Then look for the SQ8 e-tron in the results.

SQ8 e-tron driving tips

Treat the SQ8 e-tron like the quick, heavy EV it is, and you'll enjoy every mile.

Plan charging stops. DC fast charging runs up to 170 kW, so map fast chargers along your route.

Return at the same charge level. Recharging fees apply for any shortfall, plus a $20 fee if the battery is below 20%.

Ease into boost. Boost mode unlocks the 4.2-sec 0–60 mph sprint, so get comfortable before you use it.

Adjust to the size. At about 6,118 lbs, it's a heavy SUV, so practice in a quiet lot first.

How much does it cost to rent a SQ8 e-tron?

Each local vehicle owner sets the daily price for their SQ8 e-tron, and it varies by year, trip length, location, and extras. Every price shows mandatory fees up front, so you know what you'll pay before you book.

You can save with trip-duration discounts and a 10% non-refundable discount on trips booked four or more days ahead. Trips of 30 days or more skip the trip fee, with limited exceptions in parts of Los Angeles and New York. See long-term car rental on Turo to plan a longer stay.

  1. * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

  2. For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
