Audi has announced some notable updates to its electric premium e-tron entry models. The spotlight shines on the mid-model refresh of the 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron, bringing enhancements in power, range, and driving dynamics while maintaining the same pricing structure.
One of the notable improvements is found under the hood, where the Q4 55 e-tron now boasts an 82 kWh battery, delivering 77 kWh of net energy. Audi engineers have fine-tuned the cell chemistry to optimize DC fast-charging capabilities, enabling a remarkable 175 kW maximum charging power. This enhancement translates to quicker charging times, with the vehicle replenishing from 10 to 80 percent in just around 28 minutes under normal conditions.
But the upgrades don’t stop there. The Q4 55 e-tron also receives a significant boost in performance, with a 40-horsepower increase over its predecessor, the Q4 50 e-tron. This power upgrade results in a notable drop in the 0-60 mph sprint time, now clocking at 5.0 seconds compared to the previous 5.8 seconds. Such improvements are achieved through the utilization of an updated electric motor on the rear axle, providing higher efficiency and greater power delivery.
Moreover, Audi has fine-tuned the suspension and steering of the Q4 55 e-tron, infusing it with the brand’s dynamic DNA. The result is a more balanced and direct driving experience, offering improved ride comfort, dynamic handling, and stability. The steering response is sharper, making the vehicle more agile and sporty, while a new 21” wheel package enhances its appearance further.
With an EPA estimated range of 258 miles, an increase of 22 miles compared to its predecessor, the 2024 Audi Q4 55 e-tron promises not only enhanced performance but also greater efficiency and practicality. The updates are designed to cater to buyers seeking a competent daily driver with electrifying performance and advanced technology.
Enthusiasts and prospective buyers can anticipate the arrival of the 2024 Audi Q4 55 e-tron in U.S. showrooms starting in April 2024, offering an enticing option in the expanding landscape of electric vehicles.
