Audi Q4 e-tron 2025: Electric SUV with innovative design and MEB platform
The interior in particular looks good. According to the German manufacturer, the use of VW’s MEB platform should improve the affordability of the electric Audi.
DRIVETRAIN
Two electric motors mobilize 225 kW of system power in the Audi Q4 e-tron concept. As is typical for Audi, the concept vehicle’s driving power is transferred to the road using the quattro all-wheel drive. Thanks to excellent traction, it accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds. It reaches its top speed at an electronically limited 180 km/h.
A large battery with an output of 82 kilowatt hours takes up almost all the space in the underbody area between the axles. The range of over 450 kilometers – in line with the WLTP standard – sets standards in its class. The technology of the Audi Q4 e-tron concept controls the modular electrification platform (MEB), which will be integrated into numerous electric vehicles of the Volkswagen Group in the future, from the compact class to the superior mid-range class.
DIMENSIONS AND INTERIOR
4.59 meters long, 1.90 meters wide, 1.61 meters high: With its dimensions, the Audi Q4 e-tron concept is positioned in the upper third of the compact class. Due to its space requirements on the road, the electric SUV is an agile all-rounder that is also suitable for driving in the city. In the interior, however, with a wheelbase of 2.77 meters, it is at least one class higher. Since there is no transmission tunnel to restrict the space, the Q4 e-tron concept offers unimagined spaciousness and comfort, especially in terms of legroom in the front and rear.
The feeling of spaciousness is underlined by the color scheme. While bright, warm colors dominate the upper part of the cabin, the dark carpet in the floor area provides a contrast. The virtual cockpit display with the most important display elements for speed, charge level and navigation is located behind the steering wheel. A new feature is the large-format head-up display with augmented reality function. It can display important graphic information such as direction arrows for turning directly on the road.
Frequently used functions can be selected via control panels designed as touch elements on the steering wheel spokes. In the middle above the center console there is a 12.3-inch touchscreen that displays and operates the infotainment and vehicle functions. It is angled towards the driver to make it easier to use. Below it is a strip of buttons for controlling the air conditioning. Since the center console does not have to accommodate functional elements such as a gear lever or handbrake controls, it is designed as a spacious storage compartment with a charging station for mobile phones.
LOOK
The Audi Q4 e-tron concept is immediately recognizable as an Audi by the single frame with the brand logo, the four rings. And it won’t take more than two glances to realize that it is an electric Audi e-tron: Like the first series-produced Audi with electric drive, the new concept vehicle also has a structured closed surface in a wide, almost upright octagonal frame of a traditional radiator grille. Air is supplied via large inlets that extend from below the two matrix LED headlights to the front apron.
The prominently sculpted fenders of all four wheels are another classic Audi design feature that sets the brand apart. The extended features of the Q4 e-tron concept are very organic and flowing, giving the side view a characteristic touch. The highlighting of the rocker area between the axles, where the battery and thus the power pack of this SUV is located, is a typical feature of the e-tron. Large 22-inch wheels leave no doubt about the potential of the Audi e-tron concept. The roofline is slightly inclined backwards, giving the silhouette a particularly dynamic styling.
