The Audi Q4 e-tron concept was first showcased by the German automaker at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show in a bid to give visitors a taste of their first compact electric SUV. The new Q4 Sportback e-tron is the second model in this line-up.
The Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron is expected to go into production in 2021 as an SUV Coupe.

The Q4 Sportback e-tron comes with two electric motors that mobilize 225 kW of system output. The Q4 Sportback e-tron also comes with the quattro all-wheel drive. The concept car can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in just 6.3 seconds. And the top speed is restricted to 180 kmph.
The Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron comes with a large battery with a capacity of 82 kilowatt hours and takes up the entire space in the underbody area between the axles. The concept car is claimed to deliver a range of over 450 km. The German carmaker has also claimed that the rear-wheel drive trim will offer a range of over 500 km.
The modular electrification platform (MEB) offers a broad range of drive variants and power levels. The performance version of the electric drive is installed in the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron concept. The front and rear axles are each powered by an electric motor.
The silhouette of the Sportback slopes downward to the back in a subtle and dynamic curve. The roof line transitions into the significantly inclined D-pillars and ends in a horizontal spoiler at the level of the lower window edge. As a result, the future Audi Q4 Sportback appears much longer than its sister model, the Q4 e-tron concept.
When looking at it from the front, the single frame with the four rings brand logo identifies the Q4 Sportback e-tron concept as an Audi vehicle.
The prominently modeled fenders of all four wheels are a further classic Audi design feature that has distinguished the brand since the legendary original quattro 1980. The widened features of the Q4 e-tronconcept and Q4 Sportback concept are designed to be highly organic and flowing, and they add a characteristic touch to the side view.
The Q4 Sportback e-tron concept is painted in the new kinetic grey color, a light metallic and pearl effect color that takes on a distinct greenish tinge depending on the angle of the light. In contrast, the lower sections of the body are painted in a dark grey color.
