Husqvarna states the series uses its EPOS satellite positioning with radar odometry to enable wire-free mowing, and that every iQ model can also run with a partial or full boundary wire. Tom’s Guide describes radar odometry as the addition meant to handle weak satellite reception, such as dense tree cover.
- Cutting

The release lists cut heights of 1 to 4 inches on the non-AWD models, pattern mowing such as stripes and checkerboard, and control through the Automower Connect app. It also describes an upgraded bumper and larger wheels for slopes and surface transitions.
