While most luxury SUVs ask you to choose between practicality and performance, the 2026 Audi SQ8 proves you can have both.
With a sleek design, seating for up to five, and a powerful engine, the SQ8 is a can’t-miss luxury SUV. Audi's latest updates to the SQ8 include cutting-edge lighting technology, thoughtfully curated interior appointments, and expanded package options, proving that this isn't just another SUV.
Let’s take a closer look at this luxurious SUV.
Audi SQ8 Performance Features: Powerful Engine and Smooth Driving
The 2026 Audi SQ8 is powered by a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine that delivers up to 500 horsepower. The engine delivers strong acceleration and responsive power, while the 8-speed automatic transmission ensures smooth, quick shifts in any driving situation.
In addition to straight-line performance, the SQ8 offers serious driving dynamics. The available S Sport Package includes red brake calipers, a sport rear differential for improved cornering, and active roll stabilization.
Additional performance features include:
- Sports Adaptive Air Suspension for a smooth ride and tighter handling
- All-wheel steering for better maneuverability
- A max towing capacity of 7,700 pounds
- An included tow hitch receiver and 7-pin connector
This combination of high performance, advanced handling technology, and genuine capability makes the SQ8 a standout choice for drivers who need an SUV that can do it all.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Driver Assistance
The SQ8 boasts impressive tech features, including Virtual Cockpit Plus with a fully customizable, super-responsive 12.3-inch HD display. This gives you quick and easy access to your favorite apps, including navigation and streaming. With the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System, you’ll enjoy 3D sound from 23 speakers, making every song, audiobook, or podcast sound better than ever.
Additional tech features include:
- Audi Care Connect with Remote Start allows you to start your car from your phone and activate systems like the radio and A/C via the myAudi app.
- Remote Park Assist Plus helps you park.
- Top View Camera System gives you a virtual 360° view around your vehicle.
- Adaptive Cruise Assist with Lane Guidance keeps a set distance from the vehicle in front of you while keeping your SQ8 centered in your lane.
- Night Vision Assist highlights people and animals for better visibility in low light.
- Intersection Assist detects cross traffic through intersections.
Luxurious Interior Comfort and Design
Step inside the 2026 Audi SQ8 and you’ll find a seriously luxurious cabin. Every surface you touch reinforces the quality and attention to detail that separates true luxury vehicles from those that simply carry a premium price tag.
The available Luxury Package takes it to the next level with premium leather across the dashboard, armrests, and upper door sills, while the Dinamica headliner adds a refined touch overhead.
The exterior makes an equally strong statement. Quad exhaust tips and alu-optic mirror housings signal the SQ8's performance capabilities, while the bold single-frame grille turns heads. It comes standard with 22-inch wheels, but you can upgrade to optional 23-inch multispoke S-design bicolor wheels with 285/35 R23 summer tires for an even bolder look. The HD Matrix-Design LED headlights with Audi Laser Light technology provide exceptional visibility with powerful laser light that enhances safety during night driving.
If you’re looking for a more aggressive aesthetic, the Black Optic Package delivers with 22-inch 10-spoke Y-design wheels in metallic black, anthracite gray Audi rings, black exterior trim, and dark chrome exhaust tips.
From the interior materials to the exterior design elements, the SQ8 delivers the complete luxury experience.
