AUDI Q4 E-TRON

EV is now more potent and more efficient - but is something missing from UK spec?

- WILL RIMELL

Since being launched in 2021, the Q4 E-tron electric crossover has become a firm favourite in the Audi stable. Three years on, the German company has given it a technical update in response to the increasing allure of rivals such as the now-cheaper Tesla Model Y.

The substance of this update can be found underneath a subtly restyled exterior. The big news is a new motor (as found in the new Volkswagen ID 7 saloon) on the rear axle that's more efficient, thanks to better thermal management resulting in more power and more range. All Q4s continue to use an 82kWh battery pack.
