Audi's little electric SUV has a new powertrain and a 545 kilometre maximum range.

Ahead of the 2024 model year, Audi has been tinkering with the Q4 e-tron and has managed to make it more effective, more powerful, and able to accept faster charging. a respectable attempt.

Future versions of the Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron will still have 77kWh batteries (it appears that the smaller 52kWh '35' version has been dropped), but the cell chemistry has been improved so that the maximum charging capacity has increased from 125kW to 135kW for single-motor, rear-wheel drive models and to 175kW for twin-motor, all-wheel drive versions. 

Additionally, the back axle is now powered by a more effective permanently excited synchronous motor, regardless of the engine you choose. This translates to greater power—282 bhp for the single-motor quattro and 335 bhp for the twin-motor quattro, respectively, up from 201 bhp and 295 bhp. Additionally, the range has increased from 328 to 339 miles on a single charge, with the slippery Sportback being able to take you the farthest.

Oh, and to reflect this modification, the names of the standards have changed. Before, there were "40" and "50" variants; currently, there are "45" and "55" versions, and you may choose between an SUV and a sportback. Get it? 

Audi has also improved both suspension sets (there is a regular suspension and a sport setup that is 15mm lower) and included additional driver aid technologies, such as an automatic lane change feature. That, according to reports, has increased agility, sportiness, and steering reaction.
