What Is the 2025 Audi Q4 e-Tron?
The Audi Q4 e-Tron is an electric compact SUV that seats five and offers a choice of a traditional upright-roofline version or a more rakish, fastback-roof variant called the Q4 e-Tron Sportback. The single-motor, rear-wheel-drive 45 powertrain makes 282 horsepower and comes only in the regular Q4. The dual-motor, all-wheel-drive 55 powertrain makes 335 hp; it’s optional in the regular Q4 and standard in the Sportback. The 45 and 55 are available in Premium and Premium Plus trim levels, while the line-topping Prestige trim is restricted to the 55. The Q4 e-Tron shares its basic platform with the Volkswagen ID.4, and its competitors include the Cadillac Optiq, Genesis GV60 and Electrified GV70, Mercedes-EQ EQB and Volvo EX40.

Should I Buy the 2025 Audi Q4 e-Tron?
The Q4 e-Tron inherits many of the virtues of the VW ID.4 with which it shares a platform, and it adds enough upscale trim and features to make its higher price palatable. The model lineup offers decent variety, but note that choosing the pricier, racier-looking Sportback version brings compromises in cargo versatility and rear visibility. In any of its forms, the Q4 e-Tron’s driving range and charging speed trail those of class leaders.
