Audi has equipped the basic Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron models with a larger battery, and starting in February, the compact SUV will be available with a 63 kWh battery (59 kWh net).
The Q4 40 e-tron1 can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 8.1 seconds and has a top speed of 160 kmph.
Charging times are also shorter for the Q4 40 e-tron. This is true even if customers do not use the intelligent route planner and its automatic battery conditioning function.
Drivers who want to plan charging stations themselves now have the option of manually enabling battery preconditioning. The so-called manual preconditioning is carried out via the MMI, which shows how many kilowatts are currently available for fast charging of the HV battery and how much additional charging power is available thanks to the pre-prepared battery.
Via the myAudi app, customers can see the exact condition of their vehicle and its components at any time. When the customer activates the predictive maintenance reminder in the myAudi app, the pre-selected dealer will contact them to arrange an appointment.
The Azure OpenAI Service provides ChatGPT and includes various options beyond the previous voice control. With the updated voice operating system, infotainment, navigation, and climate settings can be controlled, and everyday questions can be asked. Since the information can be requested in normal, ordinary language, driving is safer because the driver can always keep their eyes on the road.
The extensive standard equipment includes Audi MMI navigation plus, Audi connect navigation & infotainment, and the fully digital 10.25-inch Audi virtual cockpit instrument cluster. The luggage compartment lid is also electric as standard and, in combination with the optional comfort key, responds to foot gestures. Front seat heating is also a standard feature.
The Q4 40 e-tron1 is the entry price into the premium electric segment, starting at 48042 USD. The Q4 Sportback 40 e-tron2 starts at 50125 USD. Orders for both model versions can be placed from mid-February.
