Audi SQ7 Performance Overview

Audi’s SQ7 performance profile in this dataset is defined by the 4M generation and a short but tightly grouped run of 4 verified tests spanning 2020 to 2025. Across those model years, every independently tested example uses the gasoline EA825 twin-turbocharged V8, rated at 500 hp, with no hybrid or electric variants represented here. The earliest result also remains the benchmark: the 2020 Prestige set the model’s quickest figures at 3.5 seconds to 60 mph and 12.0 seconds in the quarter-mile at 113 mph.

Later 4M tests show the SQ7 maintaining that same basic performance envelope rather than moving through distinct output eras. A 2020 Premium Plus reached 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, while a 2021 Premium Plus did it in 3.7 seconds as well, indicating near-identical acceleration with the same 500-hp twin-turbo V8 configuration. By 2025, the Prestige Quattro with Black Optic Plus and S Sport recorded 3.8 seconds to 60 mph, keeping the spread across all tests to just three tenths.

That leaves the SQ7 today as a consistently quick, V8-powered 4M SUV, averaging 3.68 seconds to 60 mph and 12.23 seconds at 111.7 mph in the quarter-mile across the available production tests.

How we verify Audi SQ7 performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Audi SQ7 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
