It's unusual for a manufacturer to implement such extensive changes halfway through a model year, but Audi has done just that. The Q4 50 e-tron has been renamed to the Audi Q4 55 e-tron, and these enhancements have been carried over to the 2025 version I’m testing here. Notably, there are no external badges indicating this change; it’s only referenced on the sticker. The Q4 e-tron competes with other compact electric SUVs like the Tesla Model Y, Volvo C40 Recharge, and XC40 Recharge, yet it offers a more luxurious interior compared to its competitors. Exterior The Q4 e-tron is positioned in size between the Q3 and Q5, yet it carries a higher price tag than the entry-level versions of both gasoline SUVs. Beneath its exterior, it utilizes Volkswagen Group's MEB platform, specifically designed for electric vehicles, which also supports models like the VW ID.4 and ID. Buzz. I appreciate how Audi strives to keep a conventional appearance for its electric vehicles, and it appears to achieve this well, resembling a typical gas-powered Audi. Updated as requested   Audi has taken steps to respond to earlier critiques regarding the steering feel, brake pedal responsiveness, and suspension performance. The progressive steering rack has been refined to provide a more linear and direct experience, enhancing low-speed handling without compromise. Additionally, improvements in brake modulation have led to a more responsive feel and consistent stopping distances. Lastly, the suspension has been re-engineered to achieve that perfect balance of firmness and comfort that Audi is known for. Wheels and tires This model features the classic 19-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, equipped with Bridgestone Alenza 235/55 all-season tires. If you choose the Sport package for $1,800, you’ll upgrade to striking 21-inch wheels. Personally, I find these wheels quite satisfactory. Under The Hood  The rear motor has been upgraded, resulting in a boost of 40 horsepower, increasing the total output from 295 to 335 horsepower. The torque remains largely unchanged at 339 lb-ft. This additional power allows the Q4 e-tron to accelerate faster, achieving 0-60 mph in just 5.0 seconds, down from 5.6 seconds. Interestingly, the top speed has been lowered from 113 mph to 100 mph which could be a way to preserve battery longevity. Battery and Charging  The Q4 55 retains the same 77.0-kWh battery as before, yet it now offers enhanced range and faster charging capabilities. According to the EPA, both the SUV and Sportback versions can achieve an impressive 258 miles, an increase from the previous 236 miles. The maximum charging speed for this model has increased to 175 kilowatts, up from the previous 150 kilowatts. Now, recharging the battery from 10 to 80 percent is said to take just 28 minutes, which is an improvement of eight minutes compared to earlier. 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron quattro numbers BASE PRICE: $55,200 AS TESTED PRICE: $64,690 VEHICLE LAYOUT: Front-engine, all-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 4-door crossover ENGINE: 2 induction permanent magnet AC motors BATTERY: Liquid-cooled lithium-ion, 77 kWh ONBOARD CHARGER: 11 kW PEAK DC FAST CHARGE RATE: 175 kW COMBINED POWER: 335 hp  TORQUE: 339 lb-ft  TRANSMISSION: 1-speed automatic transmission 0-60 MPH: 5.0 sec CURB WEIGHT: 4,800 lb (est) CARGO VOLUME: 24.8 ft³, 53.1 ft³ with seat area RANGE: 258 miles, EPA FUEL ECONOMY: 92 MPGe Hwy PROS: Improved performance and range, doesn't shout that it's an EV  CONS: Spongy brakes,  fiddly steering wheel controls
