The Q4 E-Tron electric SUV shares its platform with Volkswagen's ID.4.
The 50 E-Tron Quattro we tested has an 82-kilowatt-hour battery pack with a dual-motor setup and all-wheel drive, which gets an EPA-rated driving range of 258 miles.
It can accept a charging output of 175 kilowatts when using a DC fast charger in public places.
Level 2 home charging from near-empty takes 9 hours.
Power delivery is smooth, quiet, and effortless, and acceleration is measured rather than abrupt as with some EVs.
Handling is responsive, and the ride is firm but composed.
The nicely finished interior has an uncluttered design, and the front seats are comfortable and supportive.
There's also a 282-hp rear-drive 45 E-Tron with an EPA-rated 288-mile driving range.
The Q4 Sportback E-Tron is a coupelike version that compromises cargo space.

Sized between Audi's Q3 and Q5 SUVs, the Q4 E-Tron is an electric vehicle that comes in rear- and all-wheel drive and mechanically similar to Volkswagen's ID.4.
It is available in two different trims: 40 E-Tron, and 50 E-Tron quattro.
The E-Tron sportback version is in 50 quattro only.
The 40 uses a one-motor rear-wheel drive powertrain combined with an 82 kWh battery pack to produce 201 hp.
The 50 has the same battery pack, and a 295-hp, two-motor all-wheel-drive.
EPA estimated range for the quattro is 241 miles.
A large center touch screen and digital instrument cluster both oriented toward the driver dominate the dash.
The driver's seat will include an extra airbag in the right hand bolster to help prevent impact between the driver and front seat passenger in the event of a collision.
The Q4 E-Tron comes with a suite of active safety features.
For 2024 the 50e becomes the 55e and got more range, horsepower, and quicker charging.
For 2025, the rear-wheel drive 40e became the 45e with 281 hp and an EPA estimated 288 miles of range.
