The 2023 Q4 e-tron combines rugged SUV performance and luxurious comfort, with versatile in-cabin technologies for an electrifying driving experience.
With the release of the Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback, Audi adds to its teeming portfolio of all-electric vehicles for individuals looking to transition from gasoline to EV ownership.
Under the Hood
The base trim offers a rear-wheel drive powered by a single motor that generates 201 hp, while the Q4 e-tron 50 Sportback gets a dual motor all-wheel drive system with a 295 hp punch.
Both models use a 77.0 kWh battery pack, with the Q4 e-tron delivering an estimated 265 miles on a single charge and the Sportback attaining a maximum driving range of 236 miles.
The 2023 Q4 e-tron requires nine hours of charging time from zero to 100 percent capacity on a typical Level 2 home charger, When connected to a 150kW DC fast charger, the entry-level trim requires less than 45 minutes to go from five percent to an 80 percent charge.
Comfort and Convenience
Audi includes a 10.3-inch digital gauge display and 11.6-inch touchscreen angled towards the driver for easy access to alternative menus or features. A multifunction steering wheel comes with soft-touch controls and a unique double-spoke shape that allows drivers to see the digital cluster underneath the wheel.
Audi also offers an augmented reality feature that projects information such as navigation instructions or driver-assistance warnings in a driver's eye line. The heads-up display projects text, images and 3D animations on the windscreen, which allows drivers to use the information and respond quickly in road situations.
Premium standard amenities include three-zone automatic climate control, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, LED interior lighting, roof rails and a panoramic sunroof.
