New Audi Q4 e-tron 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.
Audi has big ambitions in the luxury electric vehicle space, and the new Audi Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback SUVs will double the size of the company’s EV-centric e-tron lineup. Smaller than the midsize e-tron SUV, the Q4 siblings sit on a footprint similar to that of the compact gasoline-powered Q5 crossover . While the base powertrain is a single 201-hp electric motor and 77.0-kWh battery pack, a more powerful 295-hp dual-motor setup with all-wheel drive is optional.
New Audi Q4 e-tron
The battery is designed to deliver up to 250 miles of range per charge. The Q4 e-tron models will compete with other compact electric SUVs such as the Tesla Model Y and the Volvo XC40 Recharge when they go on sale. The Q4 e-tron is expected to be seen at Audi dealerships in late .
Engine, transmission and performance
The base powertrain setup is called the 40, and it consists of a single 201-hp electric motor and rear-wheel drive. That’s the same setup found in the mechanically similar Volkswagen ID.4 , which trotted to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds on our test track. The more powerful all-wheel-drive Q4 e-tron 50 and Q4 e-tron Sportback 50 make 295 hp with an electric motor on each axle. The result is a claimed zero-to-60 time of 6.2 seconds. That’s not as quick as the gasoline-powered Audi Q5 SUV, but still brisk compared to other gas-powered compact luxury crossovers. An adaptive suspension should keep the ride smooth. We’ll know for sure when we’ve had a chance to test the Q4 e-tron models.
Range, charging and battery life
The Q4 e-tron’s 77.0 kWh battery is rated to deliver up to 250 miles per charge. The Q4 e-tron supports charging at up to 125 kW and Audi says the charge level can reach 80 percent in about 30 minutes.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
The EPA has not released fuel economy estimates for the Q4 e-tron models, but we expect them to be competitive with other electric SUVs such as the Jaguar I-Pace and Tesla Model X. When we bring the e-tron into our office for testing, we will complete our 200-mile highway fuel economy route and update this story with the results. For more information on the Q4 e-tron’s fuel economy, visit the EPA’s website.
Interior, comfort and cargo
The interior is a technological showcase for Audi’s latest and greatest gadgets. The Q4 e-tron’s cabin is similar to what’s available in other Audis, and also includes some unique features like a squared-off steering wheel with touch-sensitive controls and a toggle switch. Although the Q4 e-tron concept was shown exclusively as a four-seater, the production version will seat five. The interior’s passenger space should be roughly the same as the gas-powered Q5. Cargo space, however, isn’t as generous.
Infotainment and connectivity
The Q4 e-tron will have the latest version of Audi’s MMI system. A 10.3-inch digital display is standard, and a large 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen is angled towards the driver to make it easier to access the various menus and functions. Audi will also offer a head-up display with augmented reality capability that can project information such as navigation instructions or driver assistance alerts into the driver’s eyeline. We expect a Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless charging for compatible smartphones to be offered as well.
Safety and driver assistance functions
The Q4 e-tron models will be equipped with numerous driver assistance technology features such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and automatic emergency braking. For more information on the Q4 e-tron’s crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:
- Standard forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking
- Standard blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert
- Available adaptive cruise control with semi-autonomous driving mode
Warranty and maintenance coverage
The Audi Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback offer the same limited and powertrain warranty as the larger e-tron SUV. Audi ‘s free maintenance is less generous than what BMW , Jaguar and Volvo offer, but the e-tron’s electrical components are covered for a longer period.

The Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback are all-new models . They join the larger e-tron SUVs and the racy e-tron GT sedan in Audi’s fast-growing electric vehicle lineup.
