“The car is a nice size and very refined and well put together, although the interior materials leave a little to be desired given the brand and price point.”
2023 Audi Q4 e-tron: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron gets a modest equipment update led by a larger 11.6-inch touchscreen becoming standard across the lineup. AWD Q4 50 models also gain standard S line exterior styling, but this is not a redesign.
About the 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron
1st generation, second U.S. model year
Audi positions the Q4 e-tron as its more approachable electric SUV: a right-sized luxury EV that blends the everyday usefulness of a compact SUV with the quieter, smoother feel of electric driving. The pitch is less about extreme performance and more about easy daily use, a roomy cabin for its footprint, familiar Audi design, and premium features that make it feel like a natural alternative to a gasoline Q5 rather than a radical tech experiment.
The rear-wheel-drive Q4 40 emphasizes range and everyday comfort with a 201-horsepower single-motor setup, while the 295-horsepower dual-motor Q4 50 adds AWD and stronger performance. Premium Plus trims bring upgraded displays and premium audio, while the 50 Prestige stands out with an augmented-reality head-up display and advanced lighting.

2023 Audi Q4 e-tron Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron.
4.0
2023 Audi Q4 e-tron
(192 reviews)
“Los frenos se tardan en actuar, por ser electronicos. Los sensores de estacionamiento en ocasiones se activan sin ninguna razon y frenan el vehículo inesperadamente. No debes considerar este vehiculo para viajar distancias mas largas que su rango de millas promedio, porque no hay estaciones de carga rapida en las carreteras.”
“El carro es excelente en todo, menos los frenos. Le colocaron tambores traseros en vez de disco y el frenado no es muy eficiente, el recorrido de la aplicación del freno es demasiado largo. Al final frena bien pero necesita mejorar la calidad de frenado.”
