The model to access the range is the Q4 35 Sportback e-tron, the only one to mount the smallest accumulator and, for that very reason, the one that advertises a lower range, of just 349 km, in accordance with the European WLTP approval protocol.

The same happens with the Q4 40 Sportback e-tron, in everything similar to the 35, except in power and battery capacity. The engine is still at the rear and with the same torque, but it now has 204 hp / 150 kW, while the 82 kWh battery it also recharges to 7.2 kW in alternating current, accepting fast charging up to 100 kW in direct current.

What also lowers is the range from 0 to 100 km / h, which amounts to 6.2 seconds, while the maximum speed rises to 180 km / h. But as there are no miracles and the Q4 50 Sportback e-tron quattro, being more powerful, mounts an accumulator equal to the Q4 40, its autonomy drops to 497 km / h, reflecting a combined consumption between 17.5 and 20.9 kWh / 100 km.
