Audi Q4 e-tron

#Audi has aspirations in the #luxury #electric #vehicle, and the #Q4etron and Q4 e-tron #Sportback #SUVs will double the size of the company's #EVcentric #etron lineup.

Smaller than the mid-size e-tron #SUV, the #Q4 siblings sit on a footprint similar to the compact gasoline-powered #Q5 crossover.

While the base powertrain is a single 201-hp electric motor and a 77.0-kWh battery pack, a more powerful 295-hp dual #motor setup with all-wheel #drive is optional.

The #battery pack is said to deliver up to 250 miles of #driving range per charge.

The Q4 e-tron supports charging up to 125-kW and, according to Audi, the state-of-charge can hit 80 percent in about 30 minutes.

The interior is a technological showcase for Audi's latest and greatest gadgets.

The Q4 e-tron's cabin is similar to what's available in other #Audis and also incorporates a few unique features, such as a squared-off steering wheel with touch-sensitive controls and a toggle-switch gear selector.

While official pricing has not been announced, Audi has said the base Q4 e-tron 40 model will start around $45,000.
