Comfort and Dynamic Driving Modes

Switching between Comfort and Dynamic modes allows drivers to tailor their driving experience to their preferences. In Comfort mode, the SQ8 delivers a luxurious and cushioned ride, while Dynamic mode offers a firmer feel for a more spirited driving experience.

The Electronic Chassis Platform (ECP) serves as the core controller linking the majority of controlled chassis systems. This interconnected setup results in maximum handling precision, which drivers directly experience. Within the Audi drive select system, drivers have the option to select from seven different driver profiles: comfort, auto, dynamic, efficiency, allroad, offroad and individual. Hence, Audi driving dynamics system offers a range of setup options tailored to the driving style and road conditions, further enhancing both comfort and agility.

 

Enhanced Handling and Safety Features

The advanced suspension package includes all-wheel steering and electromechanical active roll stabilization (eAWS), the SQ8 prioritizes both handling and safety. The eAWS system is operates the stabilizers through electric motors, ensures a smooth ride when driving in a straight line and it also minimizes roiling motion when taking sharp corners at high speeds. Next, the optional all-wheel steering (which comes as standard on the SQ8 TFSI) provides a higher level of safety and comfort. Hence these features reduce body roll during cornering, enhancing agility and stability on the road.

 

Optional Sport Differential for Precision Handling

For drivers seeking even greater handling precision, the SQ8 offers an optional Sport Differential, which shifts torque between the rear wheels as needed during fast cornering. This feature employs torque vectoring to distribute power to each wheel individually, improving cornering capabilities and overall driving dynamics. Hence, handling is even more agile and precise as a result.

 

Cutting-Edge Suspension and Steering Systems

The SQ8’s Adaptive Air Suspension Plus system, combined with all-wheel steering, showcases Audi’s commitment to innovation in automotive technology.

When driving at low speeds, the rear wheels turn up to five degrees in the opposite direction of the front wheels, reducing the turning radius by up to one meter (3.3ft) and enhancing maneuverability. Conversely, at higher speeds, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels, improving stability and driver comfort.

This optimization of the steering system also enhances the car’s handling in everyday situations such as parking maneuvers in various settings like parking lots, garages and home garages. Hence, these advanced systems enhance both performance and safety, providing a dynamic driving experience on any road.

 

 

The 2024 Audi SQ8 with its adaptive air suspension represents a pinnacle of versatility and capability in the SUV segment. With its advanced technology and dynamic driving features, the SQ8 offers drivers an unmatched combination of comfort, performance, and safety, making it the ideal choice for conquering any terrain with confidence.
