Audi Q4 e-tron pricing
There are three versions: the ’35’ that starts at a smidge under £44,000 and comes with a 52kWh battery and around 170bhp - think of it like an old 1.8 petrol - that should provide a WLTP range of 208 miles in the most efficient spec.
Add another four grand and you’ll be able to afford the car that’ll take the lion’s share of Q4 sales, which is called the ’40’. It has a 77kWh battery, 201bhp and should manage up to 316 miles on the WLTP cycle. Which is interesting.
Above that is the AWD, near-300bhp ‘50’, which starts at £54,595. And among all of those you’ve a choice of Sport, S-Line, Launch Edition, and Edition 1 Q4s. They’ve probably announced another spec level since we wrote this…
But be wary of which you choose - and not just because it can bump the price up. Only the base ‘Sport’ model hits those claimed - or official WLTP - figures. An Edition 1 can only manage 292 miles.
Blame big, range-sapping wheels and lots of heavy options for that. And don’t forget that even those figures are not what you’ll get in the ‘real world’. We’d say 200-250 miles is the ballpark likely.
Audi Q4 e-tron running costs
The Q4 e-tron looks good in this regard, with a full charge at home comparing nicely to smaller, less premium electric SUVs at just under a tenner.
It’s going to cost over £30 to fuel a petrol Audi Q5 enough to cover the same sort of mileage the most efficient Q4s offer.
The insurance is good value too, at group 26, while a three-year/60,000-mile warranty is on par for the class, but nothing spectacular. All models are over £40,000 meaning it doesn’t enjoy any of the UK government grants currently on offer to lower priced models.
