Audi Q4 e-tron 2026 facelift rolls out with new tech and lower prices

Audi has launched a mid‑cycle refresh of the Q4 e‑tron for 2026. The update adds a more digital cabin with an 11.9‑inch virtual cockpit, a 12.8‑inch central infotainment screen and an optional 12‑inch passenger display, plus OLED lighting and a revised front‑end design. Powertrain efficiency is claimed to be about 10 % better, with a new rear‑mounted permanent‑magnet motor and a lower‑friction transmission. Battery sizes remain at 63 kWh (≈450 km WLTP) and 82 kWh (≈590 km WLTP), while an optional bidirectional‑charging package prepares the car for future home‑energy use.

Pricing has been trimmed in several markets. In Italy the entry‑level Custom Edition starts at €43,350, the 286 hp “Long Range” version at €56,500 and the top‑spec quattro Performance at €60,500. In Portugal the Q4 e‑tron is offered from €50,000, with the performance quattro model beginning at €72,000. French testing reported a WLTP range of up to 592 km, consumption as low as 15.6 kWh/100 km, and a price of €46,999 for the base model up to €57,440 for the Business Executive trim. A test drive in Italy’s Aosta Valley confirmed the 286 hp motor’s 0‑100 km/h time of 5.4 seconds, 185 kW DC fast‑charging (10 % to 80 % in about 27 minutes) and a real‑world range of roughly 592 km.
