Audi Q4 e-tron gets new 168bhp entry-level variant

Audi is now offering a new entry-level variant to the Q4 e-tron lineup.

This new Q4 e-tron 35, also available as a Sportback, makes use of a 55kWh battery (52kWh net capacity) that allows it to offer a 355km range (365km if you opt for the Sportback). This battery can be charged at a maximum power of 145kW.

The entire Audi Q4 e-tron lineup is set to get access to the Audi Application Store, which will open up access to a host of app via the car's Multi Media Interface

This battery animates a 168bhp electric motor in the Q4 e-tron 35, enough to see the car sprint from a standstill to 100km/h in 9.0 seconds and to give it a WLTP energy consumption of 6.1km/kWh.

Also set to arrive for the entire Audi Q4 e-tron lineup is access to the Audi Application Store, which will be available via the vehicle's Multi Media Interface come July 2024. The store will offer users access to a selection of apps, allowing access to news and podcasts on top of games, video, and other entertainment options, without the need for a smartphone.

The electric SUV is also set to get an update to its navigation system, which will see users being able to specify charging stations from specific provider. Finally, the car is also set to get ChatGPT integrated into its voice assistant system. The new AI-powered chatbot will allow users to ask everyday questions via a voice query, on top of being able to control the infotainment, navigation, and air conditioning settings of their vehicle via voice commands.
