Audi Q4 e-tron Premium, Premium Plus & Prestige

They identify the powertrain, not the equipment level. The 40 and 45 are rear-drive versions from different eras. The 50 and 55 are stronger dual-motor models with all-wheel drive. Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige describe the equipment tier.

Premium Plus adds convenience and cabin technology over Premium. On newer models, that includes a heated steering wheel, a top-view camera, automated parking help, a Sonos sound system, and a hands-free power tailgate. Earlier equipment varies by year.

Prestige adds the showcase display and lighting technology. On models that offered it, the main upgrades over Premium Plus were an augmented-reality head-up display, Matrix-design LED headlights, lighting animations, and headlight washers.

The 45 favors range, while the 55 favors power and traction. In newer models, the 45 has rear-wheel drive, 282 horsepower, and up to 288 miles of range. The 55 has all-wheel drive and 335 horsepower, with a lower range rating.

They are rear-drive entry powertrains from different periods. The 40 uses a 201-horsepower motor. The newer 45 replaced it with 282 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 288-mile range, making the 45 a substantial power and range update.

The 55 is the updated successor to the all-wheel-drive 50. It raises output from 295 to 335 horsepower and brings improved range, faster DC charging, and revised suspension and steering tuning. The switch happened partway through the 2024 model year.

It keeps the same 282-horsepower rear-drive setup and adds daily-use features. On recent models, those include a heated steering wheel, top-view camera, automated parking help, Sonos audio, and a hands-free power tailgate.

It keeps the same 335-horsepower all-wheel-drive powertrain but adds more convenience equipment. On newer models, the upgrades include a heated steering wheel, top-view camera, automated parking help, Sonos audio, and a hands-free power tailgate.

No. Prestige changes the technology and lighting, not the powertrain. A 50 Prestige has the same 295-horsepower all-wheel-drive setup as other 50 trims, and a 55 Prestige shares the 335-horsepower setup used by other 55 trims.

Look for a newer 45. Its rear-drive, single-motor setup reaches an EPA-estimated 288 miles, the longest rating in the regular Q4 lineup. Pick Premium for the simpler equipment set or Premium Plus for more convenience features.

Look for a 50 or 55 with quattro all-wheel drive. The newer 55 is stronger, while the earlier 50 also provides dual-motor traction. Tires still matter, but these are the Q4 trims built around power at both axles.

Prestige is the technology-focused trim on used models that offered it. It adds an augmented-reality head-up display and upgraded Matrix-design LED headlights over Premium Plus. For newer models without Prestige, Premium Plus is the highest equipment tier.

No. S line refers mainly to sportier exterior styling, not a different motor or battery. It appears on several Q4 e-tron versions depending on the year, including later all-wheel-drive models, so check the powertrain number separately.

Prestige was offered through 2025, but it is not part of the listed 2026 lineup. Newer Premium Plus models gained parking, camera, and audio equipment, while the earlier Prestige remains distinct for its head-up display and upgraded headlights.

No. On newer models, Premium still covers the essentials with leather seating, heated front seats, a panoramic glass roof, three-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and adaptive cruise assistance. Exact equipment varies by year.
