Audi is adding an interesting entry-level variant to the Q4 e-tron series: the multifaceted Audi Q4 35 e-tron.
The all-electric premium model includes comprehensive equipment as standard, offers a range of up to 355km (Sportback: 365km), and a DC charging capacity of 145kW.
New in the Q4 e-tron: an integrated app store enables direct access to popular third-party apps such as Spotify or Audible without using a smartphone.
With the Q4 35 e-tron, Audi is making it easier to enter the all-electric premium compact segment.
It is equipped with a 55kWh (52kWh net) battery, which enables a range of up to 355km for the compact SUV and 365km for the Sportback.
Under optimum conditions and thanks to improved cell chemistry, the battery's charge level increases from 10 to 80% in just 25 minutes when charged at a fast-charging station.
Up to 125km (Sportback: 130km) can be recharged in just ten minutes. The maximum DC charging power is 145 kW.
It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.0 seconds, with a top speed of 160 km/h.
A permanently excited synchronous machine (PSM) with 125 kW (170 hp) and high efficiency as well as superior power delivery provide the propulsion at the rear axle.
In addition, ChatGPT will be integrated into the online voice input of all Q4 e-tron models.
ChatGPT offers a wide range of options that go beyond the previous voice control.
With the extended voice control, customers can control the infotainment, navigation, and air conditioning and ask everyday questions.
The ability to request information in natural language makes driving safer, as drivers can continuously monitor the traffic.
ChatGPT is provided via Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service.
The basis for this new function for Audi customers is the Chat Pro solution from Cerence Inc. with automotive-grade ChatGPT integration.
The extensive equipment includes among other things Audi MMI navigation plus, Audi Connect navigation and infotainment, and the fully digital 10.25-inch Audi virtual cockpit instrument cluster.
The boot lid is electrically operated and reacts to foot gestures in conjunction with the optional convenience key.
The heated front seats are also part of the standard equipment.
