Audi electric line-up includes Q4 e-tron and eTron Sportback compact SUVs as well as the e-tron GT sedan. Each model offers smooth electric mobility, high-end cabin quality and cutting-edge safety technology for urban commutes as well as autumn adventure.
Under the Hood
The Q4 e-tron offers all-wheel drive stability and is powered by two electric motors. Maximum output is 355 hp and 414 Ib-ft of torque. It has an EPA-estimated driving range of 222 miles. Sportback offers a range of 218 miles.
The GT e-tron models feature two electric motors mated to a two-speed automatic transmission. The standard e-tron GT model powertrain produces 469 hp while the RS e-tron generates 590 hp. The numbers can increase to 522 and 637 hp, respectively, with a launch control boost.
The e-tron GT offers optional rear wheel steering to enhance responsiveness and precision handling at all speeds. This unique system allows the rear wheels to turn in the opposite direction from the front wheels at speeds up to about 30 mph, a maximum of 2.8 degrees, while above 30 mph they turn in the same direction.

The dual-screen setup features a 10.1-inch upper touch screen that provides access to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto apps and an optional Bang & Olufsen audio system. In contrast, the 8.6-inch bottom screen regulates climate settings in the cabin.
