What's New for 2025?
Audi makes the Technology package standard, which means every 2025 Q4 Sportback e-tron comes equipped with Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus, Audi MMI Navigation Plus, traffic-sign recognition and Audi Connect. Also notable is a new Cold Weather package that includes a heated windshield and a heat pump.
FAST FACTS
"It's unclear why Audi makes both the Q4 e-tron and the Q4 Sportback e-tron, especially given that the latter, which you'd expect to have less cargo space due to its fastback roofline, actually has incrementally more. The key difference is that the Sportback is only available in the '55' dual-motor all-wheel-drive specification, which is why its range is lower (and its price higher). So if you're comparing AWD to AWD, it really comes down to aesthetic preference, but we have to downgrade the Q4 Sportback e-tron overall due to its lack of powertrain diversity."—Ranked #9 out of 13 Compact Luxury Electric SUVs
