INGOLSTADT: The entry-level Audi Q4 40 e-tron offers extensive standard equipment, a range of up to 412km (Sportback: 423km), and DC charging power of 165kW.
The compact SUV will be available with a 63kWh (59kWh net) battery.
The battery’s state of charge (SoC) increases from 10 to 80% in just 24 minutes when charged at a fast-charging station.
Up to 150km (Sportback: 155km) can be recharged in 10 minutes.
The Q4 40 e-tron can accelerate from 0 to 100kph in just 8.1 seconds.
Its speed tops out at 160kph.
At the rear axle, a permanently excited synchronous motor with 150kW (204PS) provides the propulsion.
Drivers who like to plan their charging stops themselves now have the option of manually enabling battery preheating.
The so-called manual preconditioning is carried out via the MMI (Multi Media Interface), which shows how many kilowatt are currently available for fast-charging the HV (high voltage) battery and how much additional charging power is available thanks to the preconditioned battery.
Manually preconditioning the battery thus ensures the best possible charging results at every charging station.
ChatGPT includes a variety of options that go beyond the previous voice control.
With the upgraded voice-operated system, infotainment, navigation, and climate settings can be controlled and everyday questions can be asked.
ChatGPT is provided by Azure OpenAI Service. The basis for this new feature is Cerence Inc’s Chat Pro solution with automotive-grade ChatGPT integration.
The extensive standard equipment includes Audi MMI navigation plus, Audi connect navigation and infotainment, and the fully digital 10.25-inch Audi virtual cockpit instrument cluster.
The luggage compartment lid is also electric as standard and, in combination with the optional comfort key, responds to foot gestures.
