The All-New Audi Q4 e-tron: Progress Redefined in the Compact Luxury Class
German Engineering Meets Electric Practicality. Now in Australia.
The Audi Q4 e-tron has arrived in Australia as the highly anticipated electric SUV that slots perfectly into the premium compact segment. It is the first Audi built on the dedicated MEB electric platform, and thanks to an intentional delay in its local launch. Australians receive the superior Model Year 2025 specification, featuring upgraded range, a more powerful motor, and rapid 175kW DC charging across the line-up.
This is more than just an electric car; it is the ideal convergence of Audi's signature design, functional luxury, and smart performance, offering uncompromised practicality for the Australian family.

1. Performance and Charging: Powerfully Efficient

-
Instant Quattro Grip: The flagship Q4 55 e-tron quattro utilises two motors for 250kW of power and a blistering 5.4-second sprint to 100km/h, providing enhanced grip and dynamic handling.
-
Optimised DC Fast Charging: Thanks to the MY25 update, all Q4 e-tron models support a peak DC charging rate of up to 175kW, allowing a rapid top-up from 10% to 80% in approximately 28 minutes at a high-power public station.
2. Progressive Design: Two Distinct Styles
The Q4 e-tron brings striking aesthetics and exceptional aerodynamics to the compact segment.
-
The SUV: The conventional Q4 e-tron offers a strong, upright stance with maximum interior headroom and a generous 520L of boot space (535L for the Sportback).
-
The Sportback: Featuring a coupé-like sloping roofline, the Sportback silhouette is aggressively aerodynamic (Cd 0.26), not only elevating style but also slightly extending the range.

Signature Lighting: Exclusive to the 55 e-tron quattro, Matrix LED Headlights offer four selectable Digital Daytime Running Light (DRL) signatures, allowing you to customise your Audi's face.
3. A Spacious Sanctuary of Technology
Built on the dedicated MEB EV platform, the Q4 e-tron offers cabin space comparable to a larger SUV like the Q5, despite having a compact exterior footprint.
-
Augmented Reality (Optional on 55): Experience Audi’s cutting-edge Augmented Reality Head-up Display, which projects dynamic navigation arrows and ADAS warnings directly onto the road ahead, appearing to "float" 10 metres in front of the car.
-
Innovative Cockpit: The cabin is dominated by the 11.6-inch MMI touchscreen and the 10.25-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit, complemented by standard features like leather-appointed upholstery and a three-zone climate control system.
