All electric Audi Q4 e-tron & Q4 e-tron Sportback revealed
Audi is continuing their trend of pumping out more electric vehicles (EV) with the latest two compact EVs; the Audi Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback. They were officially revealed on Wednesday 14th April 2021 and aim to offer an affordable price point compared to the flagship Audi e-tron that was released back in 2018. Audi are on a roll lately with their EV loadout with the Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT being announced a few weeks ago too.
The new Q4 range are based on the Volkswagen ID architecture, which VW refers to as the MEB platform. This platform is powering a lot of EV's on the market, including the Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4 and vehicles in the sub-brands like Skoda and SEAT.
What do the Audi Q4 e-tron & Q4 e-tron Sportback offer?
The new Q4's sit between the Audi Q3 and Audi Q5 SUVs. What's interesting is that the Q4 range have a larger interior than both the Q3 and Q5, due to the MEB chassis specific design layout.
The Q4 will launch with three different motors and two battery sizes. The Sportback model will have a slightly better range due to less air resistance when on the move. The two battery sizes available are 52kWh and 77kWh.
52kWh
The 52kWh comes with a single rear-wheel-drive motor that produces 168bhp and 229lb ft of torque. This is the entry-level model and is called the '35', which can do 0-62mph in 9 seconds and has a range of 212 miles (WLTP).
77kWh
The larger 77kWh battery is available with a single rear-wheel-drive motor and an all-wheel-drive option featuring two motors. The single motor named the '40' offers 210bhp and 229lb ft of torque and is capable of getting to 62mph in 8.5 seconds. Thanks to the larger battery size, you get a large 323-mile range (WLTP).
The dual-motor all-wheel-drive option is called the '50' and is the top of the range model. Thanks to the double motors you get 295bhp and a peak torque figure of 339lb ft. This top of the range model offers a 0-62mph sprint of 6.5 seconds.
Both versions of the 77kWh battery will have rapid charging as standard up to 125kW, which Audi have estimated will add up to 80 miles of charge every 10 minutes.
Audi Q4 e-tron & Q4 e-tron Sportback prices
Audi are estimating the prices of the entry-level 52kWh single motor '35' to start at £40,750. The 77kWh single motor '40' will be around £44,990 and the dual-motor '50' will start at £51,730.
