The Q4 e-tron is expected to come in two different options in the US. The differences as we know now are only in powertrain as well as battery capacity and we expect the feature set to remain the same. The Q4 e-tron will be available in a 40-grade model with a single motor setup and a 50 grade model with a dual motor setup. Both models will come with the same 77 kWh battery pack. The following table shows the prominent features expected to be in the Audi Q4 e-tron -

We Recommend

The Audi Q4 e-tron is expected to arrive in two different models. The 50-grade model with the dual-motor setup and increased power output in the e-tron AWD configuration would be the best option to choose. The vehicle is expected to feature different interior trim options as well as sports seats with different available leather options. 

Powering the 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron will be an all-electric setup. The Q4 e-Tron will feature 295 hp output from the motor that channels power to all four wheels. The peak torque output from this motor is expected to be around 339 lb-ft with a single-speed automatic transmission on offer. Just like other electric vehicles, the 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron too will be extremely easy to drive and will have huge reserves of power and torque right from the get-go, making it an extremely powerful and fun-to-drive vehicle.

The Q4 e-tron will be available with two powertrain options in the United States which are termed as 40 and 50. Both variants come with the same single-speed transmission. The 40-grade model would feature a 77-kWh battery pack and a single electric motor in the rear axle while the 50-grade model will feature the same 77-kWh battery pack but this time along with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration delivering the earlier mentioned combined power output of 295 hp and maximum torque measuring 339 lb-ft.

With an overall 0-60 mph time of 6.1 seconds in the highest spec model, the 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron is definitely not the fastest car in the segment. But overall, the performance from this powertrain is sufficient and more than enough for everyday usage. In comparison, when it comes to sheer power through the motor, Tesla is still the top dog of the EV world.

How does the 2022 Audi Q4 e-Tron Handle?

The older models of the Audi Q4 e-tron SUV did struggle with the driving dynamics, however, the suspension setup was pretty well-balanced. The heavy body shell does take a toll on the overall dynamics of the car and the steering too is not very responsive. Overall, the Q4 e-tron definitely leaves a lot to be desired, especially for those who like to push the vehicle through the corners. The models equipped with the e-quattro AWD system are expected to provide more grip and stability around corners as well in straight lines.

The brand is expected to improve the overall handling characteristics of the vehicle with the launch of the 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron model. The fact that the Q4 e-tron is also built upon the Volkswagen ID.4 platform does imply that the usual strategy of keeping the battery pack in the lower central section of the vehicle has been used in this case also to improve handling as well as stability.

Powering the 295 hp motor is a 77 kWh battery pack. While we are still waiting for the official figures, the car is expected to have a 230-mile range. More details will be uncovered post the launch of the 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron. The battery pack can be charged at speeds of up to 150kW through the high-speed DC charging stations while slow charging is possible using home chargers. Audi provides the batteries with a warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles and also claims that the batteries will have at least 70 percent capacity even after eight years of operation or 100,000 miles.

The 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron faces stiff competition in the segment and the rivals definitely offer a decent maximum range. The comparison however will be more decisive once we have the official figures with us. The chance for an extended range version to be offered in the future is also a possible probability.

The Q4 e-tron comes with a limited amount of cargo space which is quite disappointing. Some of the features offered with the 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron are mentioned below:

• Audi Virtual Cockpit

In terms of dimensions, the 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron is smaller when compared to the rivals by a small margin. Although, it will most likely offer a similar road presence.

The interiors too are well put together and there is no dearth of features.
