RESTON, Va., March 7, 2024 – Audi is charging ahead of the curve in the electric vehicle arena, unveiling a significant revamp of its e-tron lineup that promises to spark considerable interest. The Audi Q4 50 e-tron, now recharged as the Q4 55 e-tron mid-2024, is driving the future forward with an electrifying mix of enhancements designed to make rivals green with envy.
Sporting a beefier battery, swifter charging, and dynamics sharper than a stand-up comic’s wit, the Q4 55 e-tron is no joke. Audi’s engineers have tinkered under the hood and beyond, supercharging the e-tron’s DNA with a newly refined suspension, quick-on-the-draw steering adjustments, and an aesthetically pleasing 21” wheel option that screams ‘look at me.’
The 2024 model isn’t just about looking good parked. It boasts an 82 kWh battery, offering 77 kWh of usable zap for longer rides between charges. It now hustles from 10 to 80 percent charge in a mere 28 minutes at the electric corral, thanks to an upgrade to 175 kW DC fast-charging. That’s enough to get you back on the road before your coffee cools.
Audi’s not pulling any punches with power, either. The new Q4 55 e-tron throws down an extra 40 horsepower compared to its predecessor, shaving nearly a second off the 0-60 mph sprint — now clocking in at a swift 5.0 seconds. This power play isn’t just about bragging rights; it translates to a genuinely exhilarating driving experience, with Audi’s hallmark quattro all-wheel-drive system delivering the muscle precisely where it’s needed.
The drive isn’t just faster; it’s smoother, too. The suspension and steering have undergone a rigorous boot camp, emerging with a balance that melds comfort with agility. This isn’t just about making a car that’s fun to drive; it’s about crafting a vehicle that feels like an extension of the driver, responding with grace and gusto to every input.
For those who appreciate the finer details, the Q4 55 e-tron now dons a sportier getup with an optional 21” wheel package, ensuring it looks every bit as dynamic as it drives.
All these improvements might sound like they’d carry a shocking price tag, but Audi has managed to keep the Q4 55 e-tron competitively priced at $55,200 (INR 45.67 lakh), with the sleek Q4 Sportback 55 e-tron variant starting at $58,200 (INR 48.15 lakh). It’s a small price to pay for a vehicle that’s bound to electrify every journey, proving that Audi is serious about leading the charge in the electric vehicle revolution.
As the automotive world plugs into the future, Audi’s latest offering makes it clear they’re not just along for the ride; they’re in it to win it, one electrifying mile at a time.
