Moreover, for those prioritizing ranges, the new Q4 model offers an extra 22 miles compared to the previous version, totaling 258 miles according to EPA estimates.
Enhancements extend beyond power and range, with a new rear axle featuring a more efficient synchronous electric motor, ensuring improved performance and efficiency. The suspension has been fine-tuned for enhanced comfort, while sharper steering provides a dynamic driving experience without compromising on comfort.
Battery improvements are also notable, with the 2024 Q4 55 e-tron featuring an 82 kWh battery, enabling rapid charging from 10% to 80% in just 28 minutes, with a maximum DC charging power increased to 175 kW.
Customers can choose from three trim levels (Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige) and four exterior colors, with additional options including a Black Optic package and a Trailer Hitch.
