The 2026 Audi Q4 arrives in Spain with up to 592 km of range, improved efficiency and a refreshed digital cockpit. Audi’s best-selling electric SUV also brings charging benefits, including a complimentary Audi Charging subscription and the option of a home charging station installed at no extra cost. It comes as an SUV or a Sportback, with range and equipment varying by body style, battery and drivetrain.
The Q4 gets subtle but effective exterior changes. A redesigned singleframe grille and new lighting signature accompany reworked front air intakes. At the rear, the spoiler and diffuser have been reshaped. These changes improve aerodynamics, contributing to a 32-kilometer increase in range and a 1.3 kWh/100 km drop in consumption, information from Audi’s data.
Spacious and Flexible
Measuring 4.6 meters in length, the Q4 remains compact enough for city streets while offering generous interior space. Rear passengers get ample legroom and headroom, while the boot holds between 515 and 527 liters, depending on whether you choose the SUV or Sportback body style. The flat floor and wide opening make loading easy. The rear seats comfortably accommodate two adults.
Inside, the new Digital Stage transforms the Q4’s cabin: two curved digital displays dominate the dashboard, with an optional third screen for the front passenger. Audi has replaced the previous haptic steering-wheel controls with physical buttons, making everyday interactions more straightforward and less distracting. The refreshed digital experience also adds updated route-planning functions and ChatGPT-supported voice assistance, though availability varies by market and equipment.
Performance and Efficiency
The Q4 lineup offers two battery options, 63 kWh and 82 kWh, paired with power outputs ranging from 200 to 300 horsepower, including a 280-horsepower version. Battery figures may refer to gross or usable capacity, so the measurement convention matters when comparing specifications across markets. Acceleration is brisk. The car’s weight remains noticeable in tight corners, but the overall driving experience is refined and quiet. On highways and well-paved roads, the Q4 stands out for its comfort and sound insulation. Its steering feel now closely matches that of Audi’s combustion models, while power delivery is more immediate, as is typical of electric vehicles.
Regenerative braking offers four levels, from a strong “B” mode that enables near one-pedal driving to three milder D modes for fine-tuning deceleration. This flexibility helps maximize efficiency and adapt to different driving styles. In favorable conditions, road tests have recorded consumption around 15 kWh/100 km. Actual energy use and range change with speed, temperature, terrain, climate-control use and wheel choice, and may differ substantially from the WLTP test figure.
Charging and Ownership Perks
To address lingering concerns about electric vehicle charging, Audi includes a complimentary Audi Charging subscription that provides access to one million charging points across Europe. Through a partnership with Iberdrola, buyers can also have a home charging station installed at no extra cost, with up to 200 meters of cable included. Depending on version, the Q4 supports DC fast charging at up to 185 kW. Charging from 10% to 80% takes about 27-28 minutes under suitable conditions, while AC charging is available at up to 11 kW. Actual charging times depend on the charger, battery temperature and state of charge. The Q4 also supports V2L (vehicle-to-load) functionality, allowing owners to power external devices directly from the car’s battery, subject to compatible equipment.
The range has been streamlined to three trims. Advance is the entry trim, with S-Line and Black Line completing the lineup. All come well-equipped from the start: standard features include a dual-zone climate system and 19-inch alloy wheels, while LED headlights accompany Audi’s MMI navigation. Prices start at €49,970, and the Q4 is eligible for Spain’s Plan Auto Plus, making it more accessible to buyers seeking government incentives.
For those comparing the Q4 with other electric SUVs, the segment is developing quickly. The Mercedes GLC 400 EQ 4Matic, for example, has set new standards for comfort and range, as detailed in this recent analysis of Mercedes’ electric SUV. Competition is fierce, but Audi’s focus on efficiency and usability, along with its ownership benefits, keeps the Q4 central to the market.
Audi plans to launch 30 new models in just two years, each with electric or plug-in hybrid options. The Q4’s improvements reflect a response to customer feedback and a broader effort to make electric mobility practical for everyday use in Spain and across Europe.
