Audi is updating the Q4 e-tron for the 2024 model year with a newly tuned suspension, improved efficiency, increased charging power and more standard equipment. 

The updated Q4 e-tron line-up will be available to order from September 26, starting at £49,915. As the smaller battery version has been deleted, this is a £5,000 step up from the previous entry-level model.

All Q4 e-tron models now feature a large battery that provides 77 kWh, but optimised cell chemistry has improved the DC charging power so that they charge from 10 to 80 percent in around 28 minutes under ideal conditions. The quattro models now achieve a maximum DC charging power of 175 kW, and the rear-wheel drive models a maximum of 135 kW.

If the driver takes the suggested route, the system activates battery preconditioning for the period before the Q4 reaches the charging station. 

The models benefit from an increased range and superior power delivery thanks to a new rear motor. 

The Audi Q4 45 e-tron and the Audi Q4 Sportback 45 e-tron with rear-wheel drive produce 286 PS and accelerate from 0-62mph in 6.7 seconds; the more aerodynamic Sportback version is now capable of reaching up to 339 miles on the WLTP cycle.  

The Audi Q4 45 e-tron quattro and the Audi Q4 Sportback 45 e-tron with 286 PS take 6.6 seconds. The top-of-the-range models with 340 PS accelerate from 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds. The top speed for all models is now 112mph.

New tuning for the suspension is said to improve the balance for greater comfort, driving fun, and stability. 

The fastest Q4 has 340PS and can sprint to 62mph in 5.4 seconds
