Audi has revealed an assortment of enhancements in the powertrain, equipment, and suspension for its 2024 Q4 e-tron range of electric SUVs. The spotlight is on the elevated efficiency, broader range, intensified charging capacity, revamped suspension, novel acoustic signature, and additional standard features.
With advanced Optional Adaptive Cruise Assist, the Audi Q4 e-tron and its Sportback variant, the models facilitate assisted transitions between lanes above 56 mph on highways.
Optimized Battery Utilization and Features
The battery maintains its 77 kWh of usable energy, with an improved cell composition which elevates DC charging capacity, achieving a 10-80% charge in approximately 28 minutes. The dual-motor quattro models attain a peak DC charging capacity of 175 kW, contrasted with the 135 kW maximum for the rear-wheel-drive models.
A unique addition is a battery safeguard feature that restricts the charging level to 80% to prolong battery longevity. The Audi Q4 e-tron models have introduced battery conditioning. This enables the thermal management system of the vehicle to cool the battery once a predetermined temperature is surpassed post-driving or charging.
Enhanced Motor and Performance
The 2024 series introduces a rear electric motor for heightened efficiency and power, standard across all variants. This synchronous machine provides 210 kW (282 horsepower), which may parallel the unit unveiled by Volkswagen on its ID series of electric vehicles.
With this new motor, the Audi Q4 Sportback 45 e-tron is reported to provide a maximum range of 349 miles, an increase from the prior 332 miles, due to optimal thermal management and efficiency. Acceleration benefits from the amplified power of the new rear motor, enabling the models to achieve 0-62 mph in 6.7 seconds.
Comprehensive Equipment and Sound Signature
In addition to advancements in powertrain, new adjustments in the suspension promise a harmonious setup, offering enriched comfort, driving enjoyment, and stability. Audi has enriched the standard features in the 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron series, including enhanced navigation and infotainment systems, a fully digital Audi virtual cockpit, a power-operated tailgate, and heated front seats.
Audi expands the optional features palette with a new Edition S line that amalgamates unique body shades and contrasting trim, 21-inch bronze matte wheels, Matrix LED headlights, and Audi’s symbol in a bronze finish.
A distinct “character sound” is available, adding a unique auditory signature to the Q4 e-tron. It modifies according to load and speed up to the vehicle’s maximum speed, including the mandatory Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System operating at speeds below 15.5 mph.
Availability and Pricing
The evolved 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron models will be accessible for order in Europe from September 26, starting at €52,950 ($56,400) in Germany. However, the availability date for the US market remains undisclosed by Audi.
