This service and repair manual is written for the 2026 Audi SQ8 e-tron, the S version of Audi's large battery-electric SUV. With no combustion engine in the car, the manual concentrates where the work is: high-voltage safety and de-energising procedure, battery pack service and thermal management, the drive units and their gearing, charging hardware and control logic, and braking with regeneration blending. Air suspension and ride-height control, steering, body, climate and interior electrics are documented to the same depth, each with the torque specifications and wiring diagrams the job requires.

Known issues on the 2026 Audi SQ8 e-tron. No recalls are on federal record for this model year, and no complaints are logged with NHTSA against it. That is a young-fleet, low-volume record rather than a verdict — there has been neither the mileage nor the vehicle count for an owner-reported pattern to form. The working consequence is that you diagnose from the vehicle rather than from a known-faults list: read the stored data, isolate high voltage before touching orange cabling, and follow the manual's fault-finding sequence to a measurement.
The trims above are carried forward from 2024, the most recent model year confirmed in detail, and erWin lists this chassis continuing into 2026 — so exact trim naming is subject to confirmation against your own build data. No power or battery figures are quoted anywhere in this listing because none are confirmed for the year; what the manual gives you instead is the complete procedure and specification set for the 2026 SQ8 e-tron, from high-voltage isolation through to final assembly torques.
