March 23, 2024 8:30 AMWhen I drove the Audi SQ8 last year, it was quite an experience. After all, the idea of a large SUV with a massive 4.0-litre V8 up front is borderline ludicrous. Just when I thought it couldn't get any wilder, I was told that there's a new SQ8 Sportback e-tron for me to try out.
The silver mirrors are obvious telltale signs for those who know, but there's more to identify the SQ8 e-tron — its huge 22-inch rims with wide 285-section tyres are accentuated by a set of flared arches with functional vents built in, and the front and rear bumpers are also Audi 'S'-specific equipment.
But what's truly impressive and enjoyable to me is how Audi has managed to get all the controls so perfectly tuned. The accelerator is nicely weighted and has an excellent response curve, allowing precise low-speed throttle control for a smooth drive. As expected of a premium luxury car, the interior is well built with leather, soft touch and quality materials. The deep red leather on the seats is plush and lavish, creating an elegant space that will leave you in awe from the moment you lay eye on the interior. However, the most commendable aspect is the amount of thought that Audi designers have put in when curating the cabin.
On the move, the well-insulated ride is devoid of distractions save for some slight tyre and wind noise. This creates the excellent environment to savour the clear tunes from the Bang and Olufsen premium 3D sound system.
