The Audi Q4 e-tron reached North American shores in 2022, offering a premium, more sophisticated version of the popular Volkswagen ID.4. With a starting price of $49,800, the Q4 e-tron costs more than $10,000 more than the base ID.4, however, once you comparably-equip an ID.4, the gap closes significantly.
As Audi's entry-level electric vehicle, the Q4 e-tron isn't an ID.4 in a tuxedo, think of it more as an ID.4 in a business suit. Most of the upgrades are in styling, ride comfort, and performance, but the Q4 e-tron also DC fast charges slightly faster than the ID.4, with a peak charging rate of 150 kW, compared to the ID.4's 135 kW.
