“The vehicle itself is great, but the software including the mobile app, the center screen (MMI) and the display behind the steering wheel are all absolutely horrible. Constantly getting error messages of every imaginable type with no clear explanation of how to resolve the issue.”
2024 Audi Q4 e-tron: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron is the midyear arrival of Q4 55 AWD trims with a stronger 335-hp powertrain and faster charging. This is a meaningful mechanical update, not a full redesign.
About the 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron
1st generation (2022-present), third U.S. model year; 2024 includes a mid-model-year AWD powertrain update that renames 50 trims to 55.
Audi positions the Q4 e-tron as its most approachable electric SUV: a compact luxury EV that mixes progressive styling, everyday cargo flexibility, and familiar Audi cabin design with less learning curve than some EV rivals. The core appeal is not maximum range or outright speed, but a premium-feeling interior, useful family-friendly packaging, strong driver-assistance tech, and an easy transition into electric driving.
The 2024 lineup spans straightforward 201-hp rear-wheel-drive Q4 40 versions, early-year 295-hp AWD Q4 50 models, and later 335-hp AWD Q4 55 models. Premium Plus trims emphasize everyday upgrades such as navigation, a digital instrument display, and automated parking, while Prestige adds an augmented-reality head-up display and Matrix LED headlights.
