With just 201 horsepower pushing nearly 4,700 pounds, the entry-level Q4 e-tron is hardly a speed demon, but it's the most affordable way into an electrified Audi.
The Q4 50 e-tron cranks up the output to nearly 300 horsepower, but with a curb weight approaching 2.5 tons, it's still not as quick as many dual-motor EVs. Quick enough, though? Quite possibly, but you also give up about 30 miles of range by "upgrading" from the base 40 version.
The dual-motor Q4 55 e-tron arrives as a midyear replacement for both the Q4 40 e-tron and the Q4 50 e-tron. What's the meaning of this alphabet soup? In short, the 55 has the most power of the three and trims the 0-60-mph sprint to a swift 5.0 seconds, per Audi. It also has nearly as much range as the discontinued single-motor 40 version, and it delivers all these goods for the same price as the Q4 50 e-tron. Consider it the 2024 Q4 e-tron's best self.
