Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2026 Audi Q4 e-tron
1st generation (2022-present), fifth US model year; a lightly updated year after the 2025 powertrain and range improvements.
Audi positions the Q4 e-tron as its most approachable electric SUV: a compact luxury EV that blends everyday SUV usefulness with a more premium cabin feel than mass-market electric crossovers. The core appeal is easy daily driving, useful cargo space, fast enough charging for regular road trips, and familiar Audi design and controls. It is less about extreme acceleration and more about giving shoppers a comfortable, polished electric SUV that still feels practical and easy to live with.
The rear-wheel-drive 45 is the range-focused version, with 282 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 288 miles of range. The 55 trades some range for a 335-hp dual-motor setup, all-wheel drive, and sportier S line exterior styling. Premium Plus models add the lineup's parking aids, surround-view camera, upgraded audio, and hands-free power tailgate.
