Audi expands the Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron lineup with a new entry-level version, the 40 e-tron. This model offers an attractive price and specifications aimed at a broader audience.
The 40 e-tron is powered by an electric motor delivering 204 hp, sourced from a battery with a net capacity of 59 kWh. This provides a range of 412 kilometers for the standard SUV and 423 kilometers for the Sportback, which has a slightly more aerodynamic profile.
With a maximum DC charging capacity of 165 kW, the 40 e-tron can be charged quickly. Under optimal conditions, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes. The ability to preheat the battery manually via the infotainment system also prepares the vehicle for a fast charging session.
The performance of this new entry-level version is respectable, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds and a top speed of 160 km/h. These specifications make the 40 e-tron an attractive option for everyday use without sacrificing the premium quality Audi offers.
The starting price for this new version is €52,500, making the model significantly more affordable than the more powerful variants. This provides consumers with an easier entry into the world of electric Audis without compromising on quality and technology.
With this expansion of the lineup, Audi is targeting a broader audience looking for an electric SUV with a good balance of performance, price, and range. The 40 e-tron offers an appealing choice for both traditional SUV lovers and more sportily inclined Sportback fans.
