The all-new Q4 40 e-tron

Dublin 20th February: Audi is strengthening the popular Q4 e-tron series by adding a high-range entry-level variant. The fully electric premium model offers extensive standard equipment, a range of up to 405 kms*, and DC charging power of 175 kW. With manual battery preconditioning and predictive maintenance reminders, the Q4 40 e-tron1 ensures even more convenience and ease in everyday driving. Both Sport and S Line model variants will be available in Ireland, the entry-level model with a 63 kWh battery can be ordered today.

More range means more peace of mind. That is why Audi is equipping the entry-level Q4 e-tron with a larger battery that makes both everyday driving and leisure time even more relaxed. From February, the compact SUV will be available with a 63 kWh (59 kWh net) battery. This enables an electric range of up to 405 kms*. Under ideal conditions, the battery’s state of charge (SoC) increases from 10 to 80 percent in an impressive 28 minutes when charged at a fast-charging station. Up to 150kms^ can be recharged in ten minutes. The maximum DC charging power is 175 kW.

The Q4 40 e-tron1 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.1 seconds (combined electric power consumption in kWh/100 km: 18.4-16.0 (WLTP); combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 0; CO2 class: A). Its speed tops out at 160 km/h. At the rear axle, a permanently excited synchronous motor (PSM) with 150 kW (204 PS) of power and high efficiency as well as superior power delivery provides the propulsion. The towing capacity of both model variants is 1,000 kilograms at an incline of twelve percent and 1,200 kilograms at an eight-percent incline.

Shorter charging stops and peace of mind for maintenance

Just like with the other members of the Q4 family, charging times are also shorter for the Q4 40 e-tron1. This is the case even if customers do not use the intelligent route planner and the automatic battery-preconditioning function connected to it.

Drivers who like to plan their charging stops themselves now have the option of manually enabling battery preheating. The so-called manual preconditioning is carried out via the MMI, which shows how many kilowatt are currently available for fast-charging the HV battery and how much additional charging power is available thanks to the preconditioned battery. Manually preconditioning the battery thus ensures the best possible charging results at every charging station.

With the new predictive maintenance reminder, Audi also offers the option of displaying a clear overview of maintenance-relevant parts via the myAudi app. Thanks to color-coded indicators, customers can see the exact status of their vehicle and its components at any time. For example, information can be called up about the brake pads, 12-volt battery, or the contents of the first-aid kit. When the customer activates the predictive maintenance reminder in the myAudi app, the pre-selected dealer will get in touch to arrange an appointment. With this feature, Audi has made the maintenance process more efficient.

Optimal connectivity for every situation

As with the other variants of the Q4 model range, the Audi application store is available in the MMI of the Q4 40 e-tron1. Without the need to use a smartphone, it offers access to a large and increasing selection of popular apps in the categories of news and podcasts, sports and games, and videos and entertainment. To use this, a one-year 25 GB data package is already included and can be activated via Cubic Telecom**. The data connection is established directly via the vehicle’s external antenna, which improves signal quality and saves smartphone battery power.

Thanks to extensive navigation content, customers can plan their vehicle charging with pinpoint accuracy. Filters can be used to define the desired battery charge level at a destination or to select charging stations from specific providers – for example, IONITY. The smartphone interface connects a smartphone to the vehicle and seamlessly transfers its content directly to the MMI touch display. Certain content, such as navigation, telephony, music, and selected third-party apps, can be transmitted wirelessly or via a USB-C cable.

ChatGPT includes a variety of options that go beyond the previous voice control. With the upgraded voice-operated system, infotainment, navigation, and climate settings can be controlled and everyday questions can be asked. Since the information can be requested in normal, ordinary language, driving is safer because the driver can always keep their eyes on the road.

ChatGPT is provided by Azure OpenAI Service. The basis for this new feature for Audi customers is Cerence Inc.’s Chat Pro solution with automotive-grade ChatGPT integration.

Premium standard features at an entry-level price starting at €48,480 with the application of the SEAI grant, and further VRT Relief available

Entering the premium segment of electric mobility starts at €48,480 with the application of the SEAI grant, and further VRT Relief is available with the Q4 40 e-tron1. The standard equipment includes a fully digital 10.25-inch Audi virtual cockpit instrument cluster, electric luggage compartment lid, in combination with the optional comfort key, responds to foot gestures. Front seat heating is also a standard feature. Orders can be placed today.

Commenting on the Audi Q4 40 e-tron, Audi Ireland Brand Director, Christian Gussen said: “The Audi Q4 e-tron was the number one premium electric vehicle sold in Ireland in 2024 and the launch of this new entry level variant allows us to now reach an even wider consumer base. We are confident that the range, in excess of 400Km, in conjunction with short charging times and the car now qualifying for the SEAI grant will appeal to many drivers. Our expert network will be delighted to welcome enquires and arrange test drives in this high-range entry-level Q4 e-tron.”

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. On September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) was replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. Therefore, the usage of CO2 emission values measured according to WLTP for vehicle taxation from 1st September 2018 on can cause changes in this regard as well. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.audi.de/wltp or https://www.audi.ie/en/wltp-lp/

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such times as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle. Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO₂ emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the guide “Information on the fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and electricity consumption of new cars”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Strasse 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany (www.dat.de).
