The maximum DC charging power is 145 kW. The Q4 35 e-tron with a top speed of 160 km/h, sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.0 seconds. A permanently excited synchronous machine (PSM) with 170 hp (125 kW) and high efficiency as well as superior power delivery provide the propulsion at the rear axle. The electric motor with sophisticated thermal management features energy-saving cooling. The geometry and arrangement of the gearwheels in the gearbox and specially shaped components for forwarding and distributing the oil keep the temperatures in the drivetrain low. The cooling circuit ensures that the oil is kept at the right temperature. A water-cooling jacket on the outside of the stator supports the cooling.

For the Q4 35 e-tron and the other variants in the Q4 e-tron model series, the Audi Application Store will be available in the vehicles’ Multi-Media Interface (MMI) for the first time from July this year. It offers access to a large and growing selection of popular apps, from news and podcasts, sports and games, to video and entertainment, without using a smartphone. A data package of 25 GB for one year will also be included, which customers can activate free of charge via Cubic Telecom. The data connection is made via the vehicle’s external aerial, which improves reception quality and saves the smartphone’s battery.
With a comprehensive navigation update, customers can plan charging more precisely. The desired battery charge level for the destination can be defined as a separate destination, or charging stations from specific providers, such as IONITY, can be selected. The smartphone interface connects the smartphone to the vehicle and seamlessly brings its content directly to the MMI touch display. Content, such as navigation, telephony, music, or selected third-party apps, can be transferred wirelessly or via a USB-C cable.

The ability to request information in natural language makes driving safer, as drivers can continuously monitor the traffic. ChatGPT is provided via Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service. The basis for this new function for Audi customers is the Chat Pro solution from Cerence Inc. with automotive-grade ChatGPT integration.
The extensive equipment of the Audi Q4 35 e-tron variants includes among other things Audi MMI navigation plus, Audi Connect navigation and infotainment, and the fully digital 10.25-inch Audi virtual cockpit instrument cluster.
