Product Overview

Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron (chassis code FZ) is a compact battery-electric crossover in production from 2021. It is powered by electric motors from 109hp to 204hp aided by batteries from 55kWh to 82kWh.
The hunchback version of the Q4 e-tron, the Sportback is uglier and less practical, but there are also many consumers with vision impairments.
Audi has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.26 coefficient of drag to show for it.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
