Q4 e-tron 40 (MY21-23)

The Audi Q4 e-tron 40 (MY21-23) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, sold new from 2021 to 2024, when it cost £50,630 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8.5 seconds, slower than 77% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 252 miles (405 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 47% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 125th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.3 mi/kWh (189 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 76.6 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 124 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 267 miles (430 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2021 example is estimated at £13,900–£17,200 and a 2024 one at £24,000–£27,100, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2021 car should still manage about 227 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
