Revamped Audi Q4 e-tron: interior completely overhauled

April 28, 2026

Powertrains Audi Q4 e-tron 2026

The powertrains of the Audi Q4 e-tron have been updated. There is a choice of three variants: 150 kW (204 hp), 210 kW (286 hp) – both with rear-wheel drive – and 250 kW (340 hp) combined with quattro all-wheel drive. Thanks to an electric motor, the updated Q4 Sportback e-tron now has a range of up to 592 kilometers (WLTP). In addition, fast-charging capacity has been increased from 175 kW to 185 kW, shortening charging stops. Thus, the battery pack now charges from 10 to 80 percent in about 28 minutes, and some 185 kilometers of range can be recharged in 10 minutes. In addition, the battery pack can be automatically or manually conditioned for charging performance.

As SUV and Sportback

Audi delivers the updated Q4 e-tron as an SUV and Sportback, each with a choice of two battery packages: 63 kWh gross (59 kWh net) and 82 kWh gross (77 kWh net). Models with quattro all-wheel drive have a towing weight of up to 1,800 kg (+400 kg).

Complete new interior

The new interior of the Audi Q4 e-tron has changed in terms of comfort and versatility. For example, like other Audi models, the model now has the “digital stage,” a display with an 11.9-inch instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch MMI touch display that displays information. An optional 12-inch passenger display is also available. With the One Connected Infotainment, comfort and entertainment features are customized, while the Audi assistant can control vehicle functions via voice commands. ChatGPT integration allows occupants to retrieve information and communicate with the car.

Mood lighting

Comfort and ambiance are complemented by interactive lighting, a new center console and two cooled smartphone induction chargers, each with 15 watts of power. The “Softwrap” interior design, which extends from the doors across the width of the dashboard, defines the look of the space.

Relief

Audi has also updated the lighting on the updated Q4 e-tron. Up front, (optional) digital LED daytime running lights with segmented technology create digital light signatures selectable via the HMI. Second-generation OLED digital taillights (optional) change functionality and are a design element.

Bidirectional charging

In addition, the Audi Q4 e-tron is the first model from Audi to support bi-directional charging. In doing so, its battery pack can both receive energy from the grid and feed it back to external devices. The Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) feature allows e-bikes, for example, to be charged via a power connection in the trunk or using an adapter at the charging port.

Driving assistance systems

Depending on the car’s specification, Tech, Tech Plus and Tech Pro packages are available. At market launch, the following systems are standard: parking system plus with distance display, cruise control (including speed limiter) with preparation for adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning with emergency assist, traffic sign recognition, attention and fatigue alert with driver monitoring, and active front assist (including evasive and turn-off assist, front cross-traffic assistant and front emergency brake assist). Optional features include trained parking, park assist plus and four wide-angle surround view cameras. Traffic sign recognition now also displays warning signs, such as priority signs and signs warning of construction sites, pedestrians, animals and railroad crossings.
