“Great car. However, the Audi app is garbage. Audi has done nothing to help me resolve the issue.”
2022 Audi Q4 e-tron: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change is the Q4 e-tron itself: 2022 is this all-new electric SUV’s first U.S. model year. It launches in standard Q4 e-tron and sleeker Sportback body styles, with rear-wheel-drive 40 and dual-motor all-wheel-drive 50 versions.
About the 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron
1st generation (2022-present), first U.S. model year
Audi positions the Q4 e-tron as the brand’s most approachable premium EV: a compact electric SUV that blends familiar Audi design, everyday practicality, and upscale cabin tech without moving into the larger, pricier e-tron models. It sits between the Q3 and Q5 in footprint, aiming at buyers who want a luxury-badge EV with useful cargo space, a quiet cabin, easy daily driving, and recognizable Audi digital interfaces rather than extreme speed or maximum range bragging rights.
Audi positions the Q4 e-tron as its entry electric SUV, with a roomy five-seat cabin and straightforward 40 trims for drivers who do not need all-wheel drive. Premium Plus versions emphasize daily convenience with adaptive cruise control, wireless phone charging, and a hands-free power tailgate, while the 50 Prestige pairs the stronger 295-hp drivetrain with an augmented-reality head-up display, upgraded lighting, navigation, and premium audio.
