2022 audi q4 e-tron upscale ev delivers 250-mile range for 45 000 the industry-wide move to electrification continues unabated the latest models to join the fray are the 2022 audi q4 e-tron and q4 sportback e-tron crossovers similar in size to the successful audi q5 crossover the new fully electric q4 e-tron duo will hit the streets with a projected 250-mile
Range and a starting price under 45 000. before any state federal or local incentives audi has secured plenty of headlines with its somewhat esoteric electric vehicles particularly the audi e-tron crossover suv and the attractive coupe-like audi e-tron gt sedan that comes with a price tag to match its exotic presence the new q4 e-tron and q4 sportback e-tron
Crossovers however are aimed at a much larger audience audi says the q4 is the model that will scale up electric mobility at audi in particular the q4 e-tron is targeted at the young broad-minded individuals that audi claims comprise a significant portion of its customer base practical intentions aside the q4 e-tron’s proportions are on target and the overall
Design effort hues to a holistic style objective rather than a rolling social statement it’s instantly recognizable as an audi yet deftly wields its f signifiers such as the wheels the e-tron nomenclature on the hatch and numerous subtle aero touches including the rear-view mirrors only the grille goes out of its way to broadcast the e-tron’s f pedigree one
Battery rear or all-wheel drive audi will initially offer the q4 e-tron in two variations the entry-level rear drive q440 and the top-tier q50 quattro the sport back body style is only available on the q50 quattro in the us the q440 e-tron has an estimated output of 202 horsepower 150 kilowatts from its single motor driving the rear wheels in contrast the q450
All-wheel drive quattro variant delivers a maximum estimated output of 295 horsepower 220 kilowatts from its two electric motors one on each axle the rear motor is shared between both q4 e-tron versions a single 82 kilowatt-hour battery provides the electrons for both powertrains although a lower output 52 kilowatt hour battery is available in europe for
The sake of efficiency the motor on the front axle only engages when the driver summons more power or the vehicle detects the need for more grip an asynchronous design the front motor uses no energy when it is not needed nor does it add resistance both of which help keep the efficiency of the aw dq 450 e-tron on par with the two-wheel drive q440 e-tron three
Stages of regeneration are available via the steering wheel paddles and the mmi system selectable when decelerating in situations where the driver lifts off the accelerator without applying the brake the q4 e-tron naturally favors a no-load coasting mode the most efficient use of momentum according to audi that said the system continuously evaluates vehicle data
And incorporates topographical data to optimize regeneration strategies another clever feature is an available on-board heat pump that uses waste heat from the high-voltage battery increase cabin temperature in all cases the battery’s thermal properties are managed by an active cooling system that can also rapidly bring it up to optimal temps in cold climates
250-mile range 30-minute charge volkswagen id.4 similarities while epa range estimates are not yet available for either q440 or q450 e-tron audi’s preliminary estimates claim the base model will travel 250 miles on a single charge readers closely following the ev segment may at this point notice numerous similarities between the 2022 audi q4 e-tron and the 2021
Volkswagen id.4 crossover and for a good reason both vehicles are based on volkswagen’s modular electric drive toolkit meb platform measure nearly the same length and wheelbase share specifications for much of the hardware and are built side by side in the automaker’s zwicka germany facility given the large number of shared components and similar dimensions
It’s reasonable to assume audi’s unofficial projected 250-mile range for the q4 e-tron is right on the nose as the vwid.4f was just recently granted a 260 mile range in official epa testing likewise the id 4s ability to regain 80 of its range in 30 minutes from a high-speed dc charger should also stand for q4 etron audi does confirm both q4 variants come with
11 kilowatts a c charging and d c charging up to 125 kilowatts capability as standard brand identity slippery shape all the key modern audi design touches are in place with the q4 e-tron a unique but instantly identifiable audi hexagonal grille a rakish roofline and backlight muscular haunches short overhangs and a sharp edged and aerodynamic wheel designed
Similar to those on the e-tron gt measuring 180.7 inches overall it’s less than four inches shorter than the q5 and as previously noted nearly identical in length to the vwid.4 evs are a study in efficiency and a low coefficient of drag how effortlessly the vehicle slips through the atmosphere can have a significant effect on range even simple details like tiny
But effective spoilers on the front wheels can add over 8.5 miles to the q4 e-tron’s range according to audi overall the q4 e-tron achieves a drag coefficient of 0.28 the q4 sportback e-tron registering a wind-cheating drag coefficient of 0.26 by comparison the gasoline-powered audi q5 a crossover subjected to rigorous aerodynamic research registers 0.33 the
New chevrolet bolt euv the larger sibling to the bolt f sedan has a drag coefficient of 0.32 the the low and uber sleek e-tron gt registers 0.24 by the same measure interior tech true to its demographic the interior features an upscale vibe available substrates from recycled sources and an in-console mobile device charging and storage area the steering wheel
Is also a new design featuring seamless touch surfaces to control the digital instrument cluster the centrally mounted 10.1 inch mmi touch display handles most of the infotainment and navigation commands voice command is also an option as are surround view cameras the big news in the tech department is the augmented reality head-up display more than just an hud
It projects in a large field of view directly ahead of the driver compiles information from cameras driver assist and navigation features and superimposes with the driver’s real-life view it’s a neat bit of image projecting tech based on a picture-generation unit embedded deep in the dash that uses an lcd screen and multiple mirrors to place independent images
In different points of the driver’s field of vision audi also leaned on the audio company sonos to outfit the q4 e-tron with a premium sound system thanks to clever packaging the q440 e-tron provides over 18 cubic feet of cargo area behind the second-row seat fold them flat and it expands to 52.6 cubic feet just 1.5 cubes less than the q5 four exterior colors
Are available as are s line and black optic exterior elements audi is on the record in its effort to have more evs on the market than any other luxury brand by the end of 2021 while that goal remains uncertain the q4 e-tron and q4 sport back e-tron the fourth and fifth models in that quest appear worthy additions to the portfolio both are scheduled to arrive in
