Q4 Sportback e-tron 40 (MY21-23)

The Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron 40 (MY21-23) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, sold new from 2021 to 2024, when it cost £52,130 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 264 miles (425 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 52% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 110th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.5 mi/kWh (180 Wh/km), about the same as 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 281 miles (453 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 £14,300–£17,700 and a 2024 one at £24,800–£27,900, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2021 car should still manage about 239 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
