Segment
Mid SUV
Audi's volume electric SUV. MEB platform — same bones as VW ID.4, Skoda Enyaq, Cupra Tavascan — wearing premium Audi tailoring. Two body styles: regular Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron (coupé roof). Single-motor RWD on 35 / 40 / 45 e-tron (170 / 204 / 282 bhp), twin-motor AWD on 50 e-tron quattro (296 bhp) and SQ4 e-tron (335 bhp). 2024 facelift bumped DC charging to 175 kW and brought a new front face. Cabin is the best of the MEB cars — augmented reality head-up display optional, proper buttons (mostly) on the wheel.
