The updated Audi Q4 e-tron is now on sale in the UK, priced from £46,260 ($61,760) on-the-road, with maximum range rising to as much as 360 miles (WLTP). Offered as both an SUV and a Sportback, the refreshed electric crossover pairs a sharper exterior with an updated cabin while adding faster DC charging and the company’s first bidirectional charging capability.

Building on a UK Bestseller

“The Audi Q4 e-tron has been a standout success for the brand in the UK. Last year it ranked as the third bestselling electric vehicle and Audi’s second best-selling model overall. With this latest round of updates, the fully electric model is well placed to build on that position in an increasingly competitive market,” said Audi UK Director José Miguel Aparicio. The Q4 e-tron has been part of Audi’s electric lineup since its premium electric SUV debut, followed by an update that sharpened range and efficiency.

A Four-Tier Trim Structure

The refreshed lineup spans four specifications. Sport opens the range with 19-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, heated front sport seats, three-zone climate control, and a digital cockpit built around a 12.8-inch MMI Navigation Plus display and an 11.9-inch Virtual Cockpit. S line adds 20-inch wheels, privacy glass, sports suspension, progressive steering, and leather sport seats with a darker interior treatment. Black Edition layers on gloss-black exterior detailing, Audi Sport wheels, electrically adjustable heated front seats, and auxiliary air conditioning. Vorsprung tops the range with Matrix LED headlights, OLED rear lights, 21-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a front passenger display, SONOS premium audio, and an augmented-reality head-up display.

A First for Bidirectional Charging

The Q4 e-tron is the first Audi to support bidirectional charging, allowing the high-voltage battery to discharge power as well as draw it. Audi did not detail supported use cases, hardware requirements or market availability for the feature.
