The 2026 Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback is a compact luxury electric SUV with a coupe-like fastback body style, five-seat configuration, and cargo space behind the rear seats. It offers electric driving dynamics, interior materials, and technology for city driving or weekend trips. It competes with vehicles such as the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and BMW iX3. The 2026 model is a carryover with refinements, including a simplified trim structure that removes the Prestige trim and adds equipment to the Premium Plus. All trims feature a dual-motor quattro all-wheel-drive powertrain producing 335 horsepower from an 82-kWh battery (77 kWh usable), with 0-60 mph acceleration in about 5 seconds and an EPA-estimated range of 258 miles.
The Q4 e-tron Sportback uses Audi's MMI infotainment with an 11.6-inch central touchscreen and 10.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit digital gauge cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and built-in navigation. For 2026, Premium Plus trims include Park Assist Plus self-parking and a 360-degree surround-view camera as standard equipment, with a Sonos sound system. The Vision package provides an augmented-reality head-up display that projects navigation and alerts onto the windshield, plus matrix-design LED headlights. The myAudi app enables remote lock and start, vehicle status monitoring, and service scheduling, supported by Audi connect CARE services and over-the-air software updates.
