Audi introduces the Q4 35 e-tron, an entry-level electric vehicle with a range up to 365 km, priced from 45,600 euros. Features include an integrated app store and fast DC charging.

Audi has introduced a new entry-level variant to its Q4 e-tron lineup, the versatile Audi Q4 35 e-tron. Priced at 45,600 euros for the standard model and 47,600 euros for the Sportback version, this all-electric premium vehicle comes packed with extensive standard features, a range of up to 355 kilometers (365 kilometers for the Sportback), and a DC charging capacity of 145 kW. Notably, the Q4 e-tron series now includes an integrated app store, allowing direct access to popular third-party apps like Spotify and Audible without needing a smartphone. Customers can place orders for the Q4 35 e-tron starting in July.

The Q4 35 e-tron is set to make Audi’s best-selling electric vehicle even more appealing by broadening its model range. Designed to make entry into the all-electric premium compact segment easier, the Q4 35 e-tron features a 55 kWh (52 kWh net) battery, offering a range of up to 355 kilometers for the SUV and 365 kilometers for the Sportback.

With improved cell chemistry, the battery can charge from 10% to 80% in just 25 minutes at a fast-charging station. Additionally, the vehicle can gain up to 125 kilometers of range (130 kilometers for the Sportback) in just ten minutes. The maximum DC charging power is 145 kW. The Q4 35 e-tron boasts a combined power consumption of 19.2-17.0 kWh/100 km (WLTP) and produces zero CO2 emissions, achieving a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 9.0 seconds and a top speed of 160 km/h. Propulsion is provided by a 125 kW (170 hp) permanently excited synchronous machine (PSM) on the rear axle, featuring sophisticated thermal management for optimal energy efficiency.

In urban settings, the Q4 35 e-tron and other variants will include the Audi Application Store in their Multi-Media Interface (MMI) from July. This store offers a wide array of apps, from news and podcasts to sports, games, and entertainment, without requiring a smartphone. Audi provides a 25 GB data package for one year at no extra cost, activated via Cubic Telecom. This connection utilizes the vehicle’s external aerial, enhancing reception quality and conserving smartphone battery life.

Navigation updates allow customers to plan charging more precisely, with the ability to set a desired battery charge level for their destination or select charging stations from specific providers like IONITY. The smartphone interface seamlessly integrates with the vehicle’s MMI touch display, supporting wireless or USB-C connections for navigation, telephony, music, and selected third-party apps.

Moreover, ChatGPT is being integrated into the voice control system of all Q4 e-tron models, expanding beyond traditional voice commands to enable more natural interactions. Drivers can control infotainment, navigation, and climate systems, as well as ask everyday questions, making driving safer by allowing them to keep their focus on the road. This feature is provided via Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service, based on the Chat Pro solution from Cerence Inc. with automotive-grade ChatGPT integration.

The Q4 35 e-tron starts at 45,600 euros, with the Sportback variant beginning at 47,600 euros. Standard equipment includes Audi MMI navigation plus, Audi Connect navigation and infotainment, and a fully digital 10.25-inch Audi virtual cockpit instrument cluster. The model also features an electrically operated boot lid that responds to foot gestures when paired with the optional convenience key, as well as heated front seats. Both body variants are available for immediate order.
