Fuel Efficiency and Range
At the heart of the 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron™ lies an 82 kWh battery pack with 77 kWh of usable capacity. This powerful energy source enables impressive range figures, with the base Q4 40 model offering an EPA-estimated 265 miles on a single charge. The Q4 50 quattro, equipped with dual electric motors and all-wheel drive, delivers a respectable 236 miles of range. Charging is quick and convenient, with the Q4 40 and 50 models capable of 150 kW fast charging, while the top-spec Q4 55 quattro can charge up to 175 kW, replenishing the battery from 10%-80% in just 28 minutes.
The Q4 e-tron's™ electric powertrain also offers potential cost savings for owners. With lower fuel costs and reduced maintenance requirements compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, the Q4 e-tron™ can help drivers save money in the long run. Factors such as driving conditions, charging habits, and individual driving styles can impact the SUV's overall efficiency and range. Still, the all-electric Q4's advanced technology and well-engineered powertrain ensure that it remains a highly efficient and eco-friendly choice in its segment.
