2023 Audi Q4 e-tron

History/Overview

The Audi Q4 E-tron is back for its second year as the brand’s least-expensive electric crossover model. Though it splits the difference size-wise between the Q3 and Q5 models, the Q4 E-tron appeals to a different audience altogether with its all-battery powertrain.

What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year

For 2023, the Q4 E-Tron’s only change is the addition of standard Audi Connect security and assistance functionality.

Available Trims

The Q4 E-tron comes in a single trim powered by dual electric motors for all-wheel traction.

Infotainment functions are handled through a 10.1-inch touchscreen with smartphone interface, satellite radio, and a 10.25-inch digital driver display.

The Q4 E-tron’s safety suite comprises forward collision mitigation, pedestrian detection, front and rear parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning.
