Audi has unveiled a comprehensive update for its Q4 e-tron electric SUV for 2027, featuring a larger 82 kWh battery that extends WLTP range to 600 km, faster 175 kW DC charging, new more powerful electric motors, and an optional passenger display. The refreshed model aims to regain competitiveness in the crowded EV market and is expected to reach Gulf showrooms by early 2027.
Audi has announced a major refresh for its Q4 e-tron electric SUV for the 2027 model year, bringing significant improvements in range, charging speed, performance, and interior technology. According to a report by CarBuzz, the updates are designed to keep the Q4 e-tron competitive against a wave of new rivals in the premium compact EV segment.
What’s new in the battery and charging?
The Q4 e-tron now comes with a larger battery pack: 82 kWh usable capacity, up from 77 kWh. Combined with aerodynamic tweaks and improved energy management, the maximum WLTP range jumps to 600 km — an increase of up to 100 km over the previous model. DC fast charging power has been boosted from 135 kW to 175 kW, allowing a 10-80% charge in approximately 25 minutes, about five minutes quicker than before.
New motors and improved performance
Audi has replaced the electric drive units with more efficient motors. The base Q4 45 e-tron produces 286 hp (up 31 hp), while the Q4 55 e-tron quattro delivers 340 hp (up 44 hp). The top-spec model sprints from 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, a 0.4-second improvement. The quattro version also benefits from updated torque vectoring for sharper handling.
Updated interior with passenger display
The cabin receives a significant technology upgrade with an optional 10.9-inch passenger display, allowing the front passenger to control media and navigation without distracting the driver. New materials, contrast stitching, and an updated ambient lighting system round out the interior refresh. The overall design remains familiar but feels more premium.
How much will the Audi Q4 e-tron 2027 cost in Saudi Arabia?
Official pricing has not been announced, but European prices are expected to start around €55,000. In Saudi Arabia, that translates to an estimated starting price of approximately SAR 230,000 for the base Q4 45 e-tron, with the top-spec Q4 55 e-tron quattro likely reaching around SAR 290,000. These figures are subject to final local specifications and taxes.
When will the Q4 e-tron 2027 arrive in the Gulf?
Audi plans to begin European deliveries by mid-2026, with Middle Eastern markets — including Saudi Arabia and the UAE — expected to receive the updated Q4 e-tron in the first quarter of 2027. The SUV is well-suited to Gulf conditions thanks to an improved battery cooling system and a long range that reduces range anxiety during hot summers. The growing fast-charging infrastructure in both countries further supports daily usability.
