The 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron is a small, nimble, and highly efficient all-electric crossover. It was introduced for the 2022 model year, and it carries over into 2023 with the introduction of a lower-cost variant, dubbed “40,” which joins the Q4 e-tron 50.

There is also a Sportback variant of the Q4 e-tron, listed as a separate model.

Both the Q4 e-tron 40 and 50 come equipped with an 82-kWh battery pack. The new 40 features a single motor at the rear wheels. It makes 201 horsepower and provides an electric driving range of 265 miles. Moving up to the 50 adds an electric motor for the front wheels. The combined power of the two motors is 295 horsepower in an all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup, but range with the 50 falls to 236 miles. Thanks to DC fast charging, the Q4 e-tron can be charged from five percent to 80 percent in just 36 minutes.
