Sustainable premium mobility takes a significant step forwards as the all-new Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron come to the UK.
Conveying the progressive design of the concept cars into series production with minimal alteration, the versatile battery-electric SUV will be offered in the UK in Sport, S line, Edition 1 and Vorsprung trim options The cars come with a choice of two battery variants and three drive configurations capable of WLTP-certified driving ranges of up to 316 miles (Q4 40 e-tron Sport).
Quick charging
Quick and easy charging ensures daily use of the Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron is undemanding. Depending on version, they feature a 52 kWh or 77 kWh battery which can be charged at HPC (high-power charging) stations at a charging capacity of up to 100 or up to 125kW respectively. At 125kW, and in ideal conditions, the battery can achieve an 80 per cent state of charge from a five per cent starting point in 38 minutes. WLTP testing has confirmed that the Q4 40 e-tron, which uses the larger battery, can recharge enough electricity – in ideal conditions – to cover a distance of about 80 miles (WLTP) in around 10 minutes, and can achieve a range of up to 316 miles.
Using the myAudi app, owners can activate charging remotely using a smartphone.
Electric motors and electric all-wheel-drive
At the entry-level, the Q4 35 e-tron and the Q4 Sportback 35 e-tron use the compact battery with its net energy content of 52kWh (55kWh gross), and combine this with an electric motor offering an output of 125kW (170 PS) and torque of 310Nm. In both body variants, this is sufficient for 9.0-second 0-62mph acceleration, a governed 99mph top speed and a WLTP-certified range of up to 208 miles on a full charge in the SUV (Sportback range data to be confirmed).
Range of up to 316 miles: the Q4 40 e-tron
The Audi Q4 40 e-tron is equipped with the larger battery, which stores a net 77kWh of energy (82 kWh gross). The electric motor generates 150kW (204 PS) and 310Nm here, reducing the 0-62mph sprint time to 8.5 seconds in the run-up to a top speed that is also governed at 99mph. One charge is enough for up to 316 miles of range in the SUV (Sportback range data to be confirmed).
