Audi has expanded the “e-tron” lineup with its new 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron, however the difference now is that this vehicle won’t break the bank unlike some of Audi’s previous electric vehicles.
This 5 seater e-tron crossover is starting at $44,995 for the base RWD trim (Q4 40) and if you want all wheel drive, the AWD sportier model (Q4 50) starts at $50,995.
If you look on the Audi website these prices are actually cheaper than the gas powered versions like the Q5 which means that many more consumers will be able to finally attain one of Audi’s e-tron lineup.
Power and Specs

Q4 40 e-tron is powered by a rear single asynchronous electric motor that produces a mediocre 201 HP and 229 lb/ft of torque and a 0-60 mph of 7.9 seconds. However, like all electric vehicles, 100% of the 229 lb/ft of torque is provided the moment you press the pedal.
Q4 50 e-tron as well as the Q4 sport-back produce a more impressive 295 HP and 339 lb/ft of torque thanks to its dual asynchronous electric motors.
The improvement in power can be felt while driving as the 0-60 mph time is only 5.8 seconds.
AWD models can tow up to 2,600 pounds
