Driving the 2024 Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron calls to mind a scene from the Walt Disney animated feature, \u201cFantasia.\u201d In particular, it\u2019s the one where hippopotamuses dance<\/a> to Ponchielli’s Dance of the Hours from La Gioconda. Who would believe that hippos could do pirouettes?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

OK, it\u2019s fantasy.<\/p>\n

But a similar suspension of belief is needed when considering driving the 2024 Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron. Once behind the wheel, you will believe a hippo can dance \u2013\u00a0all 6,118 pounds of it. While Audi already makes a Q8 e-tron<\/a>, as well as a Q8 e-tron S-Line, which gets the look of a speedier stallion, but without the extra electrons to make it happen. That\u2019s where the 2024 Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron differs.<\/p>\n

[See image gallery at www.thetorquereport.com<\/a>] <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the sportiest rendition of Audi\u2019s largest battery-electric SUV, with one electric motor on the front axle and two on the rear, delivering all-wheel drive. Altogether, the three motors generate 496 horsepower and 718 pound-feet of torque from its 106-kWh battery. Compared to the base Q8 e-tron and its 86.5-kWh battery, there\u2019s an extra 94 horses and 228 pound-feet of torque on tap. That\u2019s enough muscle to bring up 60 mph in 4.2 seconds on the way to a top speed of 130 mph. And it can tow 4,000 pounds with up to a 400-pound tongue weight.<\/p>\n

Sounds sweet; but how sweet? To find out, we ventured to the twisting roads in the hills above Malibu, California to put this puppy through its paces.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Is it fast? You bet; effortlessly so. But straight-line speed isn\u2019t difficult to produce. The real trick comes when it\u2019s time to tackle the twisties, and that\u2019s when this rig gets really, really good.<\/p>\n

This Audi\u2019s quattro all-wheel-drive system is rear biased. And since there\u2019s no physical connection between the two rear wheels, the two electric motors can vary the torque they deliver to either wheel. So, the outside rear motor provides 162 lb-ft more torque than the one on the inside while cornering, providing torque vectoring. Throw this puppy into a corner a bit too hot, and you\u2019ll whip that tail around, tires squealing. It thrills and enchants, capturing the heart. <\/p>\n

Yet it\u2019s all very controllable thanks to the SQ8 Sportback e-tron\u2019s taut suspension and crisp, precise steering. The SQ8 Sportback e-tron\u2019s steering is never ponderously, artificially heavy. Instead, it proves to be just right, especially when dialed into its Dynamic driving mode. Aiding and abetting all of this are the optional 22-inch wheels, replacing the standard 20s. Their handling prowess comes at some expense in ride comfort, but that\u2019s to be expected. Then there\u2019s the range trade-off. The 22s reduce range to 218 miles, down from the 20s\u2019 253 miles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

That said, for those who like one-pedal driving, you\u2019ll find it surprisingly lacking. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re part of the $3,500 Black Optic Package, which shrouds this vehicle\u2019s exterior trim in black. Our vehicle also had the $1,895 AC Charging Package, which adds a second charging port on the passenger\u2019s side of the vehicle. And despite a base price of $98,600, Audi charged an extra $595 for its metallic paint. All told, our fun electric bauble cost $105,740. But fun has its price.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

And you\u2019ll find that despite the high-speed athleticism, the cabin proves to be library quiet. Its ambience is typical of modern-day Audis, with a mix of leather, suede and aluminum trim. But being an S model, you\u2019ll find the seating finished quilted leather, emblazoned with S logos, in case you forgot which trim level you chose. <\/p>\n

Infotainment comes courtesy of a 10.8-inch touchscreen mounted above an 8.6-inch screen that controls the climate and other comfort functions. It works flawlessly, as you might expect. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

But you don\u2019t need outside entertainment when driving the 2024 Audi SQ8 Sportback e-tron. This vehicle is all the entertainment you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n

It might seem improbable that you get a three-ton battery electric SUV to dance, but somehow Audi has pulled off the impossible. <\/p>\n
