The new model is Audi’s fourth dedicated electric vehicle, following the e-tron quattro, e-tron Sportback and recently unveiled e-tron GT, and the first to be based on parent company Volkswagen’s MEB electric vehicle platform. Closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 sedan, with which it shares its key structural elements and electric drive system, the Q4 e-tron will be offered in two distinct body styles. The standard SUV model emphasizes overall practicality, while a sleeker Sportback aims to be sportier with a high-riding coupe silhouette.
