Battery Capacity: 55 kWh (52 kWh Net)
The Audi Q4 35 e-tron Sportback serves as the entry point into Audi’s electric compact SUV range. It is equipped with a lithium-ion battery pack featuring a gross capacity of 55 kWh. Utilizing improved cell chemistry, the net usable energy is approximately 52 kWh, supporting a WLTP-rated range of up to 365 km. The 400V architecture allows for DC fast charging at speeds up to 145 kW, enabling a 10% to 80% charge in roughly 25 minutes under optimal conditions.
Max Power: 170 PS (125 kW)
Propulsion is handled by a single Rear-Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PSM). This motor produces a peak power output of 170 PS (125 kW). Because it is a synchronous machine, it offers high efficiency and consistent power delivery across a wide RPM range, making it ideal for both urban stop-and-go traffic and sustained highway cruising.
Max Torque: 310 Nm
One of the hallmark traits of the Q4 35 e-tron is the instantaneous torque delivery. The electric motor generates 310 Nm of torque from 0 RPM. This allows for effortless overtaking and a punchy feel during initial acceleration, despite the vehicle's significant kerb weight.
0-100 km/h: 9.0 Seconds
In terms of raw acceleration, the Q4 35 Sportback is tuned for efficiency and smooth linear progression rather than neck-snapping speed. It completes the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 9.0 seconds. While it is the "entry" performance tier, the delivery remains characteristic of the premium Audi driving experience.
Top Speed: 160 km/h
The top speed for the 35 e-tron variant is electronically governed at 160 km/h (99 mph). This limitation is primarily in place to preserve battery range and protect the electric motor's thermal integrity during high-speed operation.
Transmission Type: 1-Speed Automatic
Like most modern EVs, the Q4 uses a single-speed fixed-ratio transmission (ratio approximately 13:1). This eliminates the need for gear shifts, providing a seamless flow of power to the rear wheels. The gearbox is integrated with the motor into a compact housing to save weight and space.
Drive Type: Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD)
The "35" designation indicates a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive configuration. This setup allows for a tighter turning radius and a more "pushed" driving dynamic compared to front-wheel-drive competitors, while also maximizing energy efficiency by reducing mechanical friction found in AWD systems.
