2024 Audi SUVs: New Tech and More Luxury–Plus the Q8 E-Tron Joins the Range!

Audi's range of SUVs is composed of sumptuous high-riding limousines, raucous performance models, and whisper-quiet EVs. For 2024, the luxury automaker applies minor updates across its entire lineup, adding comfort, convenience, and safety tech to its existing models. Although Audi isn't adding any new SUVs to its lineup, the E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback have been rebadged for 2024 as the Q8 E-Tron and Q8 E-Tron Sportback , which better aligns them with the rest of the brand's nomenclature. Read on to find out what's new for the 2024 model year and what our experts think about each Audi SUV .

2024 Audi Q3: What’s New

The 2024 Audi Q3 is the automaker's entry-level SUV, sized below the Q4 E-Tron and Q5 SUVs. For many, the Q3 will be the first Audi they buy, and as such this subcompact ute needs to make a good impression so owners come back for another. Changes for 2024 are minimal but not insignificant. Adaptive cruise control is now standard across the entire range, fixing one of the concerns we've had about the current-generation Q3 since it arrived. Audi has also tweaked the Q3's Convenience package to include the HomeLink feature, which can open or close a garage door and turn on or off the lights in a house. Finally, Arkona White and Progressive Red join the list of available paint colors while Ibis White, Tango Red, and Turbo Blue have been discontinued.

2024 Audi Q4 E-Tron: What’s New

The most affordable EV in the Audi lineup is the 2024 Q4 E-Tron SUV . New tech includes standard adaptive cruise control with lane follow assistance. Steering wheel paddles now come standard on every Q4 E-Tron, granting the driver more control over regenerative braking intensity. Finally, Audi's HomeLink tech was added to the Convenience package.

2024 Audi Q4 Sportback E-Tron: What’s New

The sleek-looking 2024 Audi Q4 Sportback E-Tron exists for shoppers who want something that looks a little different than a traditional electric SUV. Audi updates this sloped-roof model with the same upgrades as its more conventional sibling: adaptive cruise control with lane following assist, a steering wheel with regeneration selector paddles, and Audi's HomeLink tech.

2024 Audi Q5 and SQ5: What’s New

The 2024 Audi Q5 doesn't just sit at the core of the automaker's lineup—it has been a bestseller for around a decade. Variants include the gasoline-only 40 TFSI and 45 TFSI models, the plug-in hybrid 55 TFSI E Quattro, and the sporty SQ5. To keep this popular range SUV fresh, Audi has made a number of minor changes for the new model year. Active lane assist, a heated steering wheel, and capacitive grip sensors for hands-on detection have been added as a standard feature for all Q5s. Remote engine start for gasoline models is now standard with the myAudi app.

Audi further tweaked the Q5's equipment offerings across the available trims and packages. A Black Optic package, with all-black exterior accents, is now available for the Q5 40 TFSI. That same package gets more blacked-out componentry for the rest of the Q5 range. All Q5 45 TFSI models now receive standard Sport front seats and Gray-Brown Birch wood inlays. Finally, Arkona White replaces Ibis White as an exterior paint color on this Audi SUV.

2024 Audi Q5 and SQ5 Sportback: What’s New

Audi offers the slinky 2024 Q5 Sportback and SQ5 Sportback as alternatives to its more conventionally styled compact SUV range. Changes for the new model year include standard active lane assist, a heated steering wheel, and a capacitive grip sensor for hands-on detection. Remote engine start is now available via the myAudi app. Audi made some cosmetic changes to the lineup as well; the Black Optic package has even more dark exterior accents than before and Arkona White has replaced Ibis White as an exterior paint color.

2024 Audi Q6 E-Tron and Q6 Sportback E-Tron: What’s New

Audi adds the Q6 E-Tron and stylish Q6 Sportback E-Tron models to its range for the 2024 model year. Slotting in between the compact Q4 E-Tron and the flagship Q8 E-Tron, this electric SUV will serve as the automaker's midsize offering. Expect 330-350 miles of range and standard Quattro all-wheel drive. We anticipate combined output from the dual-motor system will be rated somewhere between 470 hp and 603 hp based on what we know about its platform mate, the 2024 Porsche Macan EV . Charging from 10 to 80 percent should occur in 30 minutes, with 186 miles added in 10 minutes. Audi says the Q6 E-Tron duo will be capable of a 270-kW peak charging rate.

2024 Audi Q7 and SQ7: What’s New

The 2024 Audi Q7 and SQ7 are some of our favorite luxury three-row SUVs. Although the Q7's exterior design doesn't stand out, the cabin is decked out in extraordinarily high-quality materials, and ride quality is among the best in its class. For 2024, adaptive cruise control is standard, and remote start is now available through the Audi Connect app. The Q7's various trim packages receive some adjustments, as well. Audi now offers an ambient lighting package on Premium Plus trims and up, the S Line Sport package is now available for the 55 TFSI Prestige trim, and optional HD Matrix-design LED headlamps with laser lights are available for the Prestige trim. Finally, Audi's super soft Dinamica headliner can now be equipped on the Q7 Prestige.

2024 Audi Q8, SQ8, and RS Q8: What’s New

The 2024 Q8 lineup represents the upper reaches of Audi's design, technology, and engineering. Although the base Q8 is effectively a two-row version of the Q7 with far more dramatic styling, the SQ8 and RS Q8 are bonafide performance machines. For 2024, Audi is expected to refresh the Q8 lineup with updated exterior design and tech upgrades in line with the improvements that have been applied to the rest of the automaker's SUV range.

2024 Audi Q8 E-Tron and SQ8 E-Tron: What’s New

Audi reboots its flagship electric SUV for the 2024 model year by rebranding the E-Tron as the Q8 E-Tron . This change is effectively a heavy midcycle refresh, with upgrades including a higher-capacity 114-kWh battery with improved charging capability, a revised exterior with improved aerodynamics, and new lighting designs. The Q8 E-Tron's motors have been updated for improved efficiency, as well. Audi retuned the Q8 E-Tron's progressive steering setup to be more direct with a tighter ratio than before. The front axle has been made to be more rigid, which Audi says should help with on-center feel. Audi also worked over the Q8 E-Tron's suspension to improve handling.
