2027 Audi Q4 e-tron gets a 12-inch passenger screen, new OLED lights, up to 592km range, improved efficiency, and faster 185kW DC charging.

Audi has given the Q4 e-tron and the Q4 Sportback e-tron a major update for 2027, and this is not the usual mid-life nip and tuck. The brand’s compact electric SUV now packs more range, sharper styling, better charging, and a cabin loaded with fresh tech. With up to 592km of WLTP range, a new APP350 motor, segment-first passenger display, Audi’s first bidirectional charging setup in an EV, Plug & Charge as standard, and major digital upgrades, the Q4 e-tron has moved well beyond being just an entry point into the brand’s electric line-up.

Although Audi India has not announced an official launch timeline yet, the Q4 e-tron is expected to arrive in India between late 2026 and early 2027.
Visually, the changes are clean but effective. The front end now gets a body-coloured Singleframe grille, revised air intakes, and sharper bumper detailing that make the SUV look wider and more polished. Functional air intakes help direct airflow around the front wheels, reducing drag, while wing elements in the bumper visually broaden its stance. It still looks familiar, but there is more purpose now.

At the rear, Audi has added a roof edge spoiler over the D-pillar, a black accent strip along the roof, a newly contoured rear spoiler, and a redesigned high-set diffuser. These updates improve airflow while sharpening the SUV’s road presence.
Lighting has become a bigger part of the Q4 e-tron’s identity too. The front digital LED daytime running lights now feature segmented technology with selectable digital signatures through the MMI system. At the rear, second-generation digital OLED tail-lights use six panels with 284 segments and include proximity detection, warning following vehicles if they approach too closely when the Q4 is stationary.

In simple terms, if someone gets too close when your Q4 is stopped, the rear lights react to alert them. It is clever, premium, and exactly the kind of technology buyers in this segment will appreciate. Top-spec models also get matrix LED headlights with four selectable digital light signatures, while three new paint finishes and five fresh alloy wheel designs expand personalisation.
Inside, the biggest leap is immediately obvious. Audi’s updated cabin feels far more modern, built around what it calls a digital stage. An 11.9-inch digital instrument display and 12.8-inch central touchscreen form the core of the setup, but the real talking point is the optional 12-inch passenger display, which Audi says is the largest it has fitted in any model.

This passenger screen is also a segment first, adding a fresh layer of interactivity to the cabin. Audi’s optional augmented reality head-up display pushes things further by projecting navigation and assistance data directly into the driver’s field of view. Audi says AR content appears to float around 10 metres ahead, creating a futuristic but useful driving experience.
The dashboard itself has been reworked with vertical air vents and a cleaner layout, while integrated door handles and Softwrap trim stretching across the fascia create a more cohesive look. The new centre console improves everyday usability, while dual cooled wireless charging pads, multiple USB-C ports, and smarter storage solutions make the cabin feel more practical.

Boot space remains strong at 515 litres, expanding to 1,487 litres with the rear seats folded. Quattro models can now tow up to 1,800kg, which is 400kg more than before. An electric tailgate is now standard too, reinforcing the Q4 e-tron’s balance between premium appeal and practical everyday usability.
The tech story goes well beyond screens. The Q4 e-tron now runs Android Automotive OS with Audi’s new One Connected Infotainment system. Voice controls are smarter through the Audi assistant, which can also respond to logbook queries, while ChatGPT integration adds conversational AI support. Third-party apps are accessible directly through the Audi Application Store without smartphone mirroring.

Safety kit is stronger too. Standard features now include lane departure warning with emergency assist, active front assist with evasion and turn assist, front cross traffic assist, traffic sign recognition, and attention and fatigue monitoring. Optional adaptive driving assistant plus can even support lane changes on motorways above 90km/h and maintain guidance without clear road markings.
Under the skin, every 2027 Audi Q4 e-tron gets Audi’s new APP350 electric motor, which is around 10 per cent more efficient than before. The Rear-wheel-drive version claims a range of up to 592km, while the all-wheel-drive models deliver up to 554km of claimed range.

Charging has improved too. Quattro models with the 82kWh battery now support up to 185kW DC fast charging, cutting the 10 to 80 per cent top-up time to 27 minutes. Audi says it can add up to 180km of range in just 10 minutes. Battery preconditioning and Plug & Charge are now included as standard for easier charging.

The Q4 e-tron also becomes Audi’s first EV with bidirectional charging. This means it can power external devices through the boot socket or an optional side-port adapter, making it useful for camping, tools, or backup power.
