Here’s How Much the 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron Will Cost

• 2022 Audi Q4 40 e-tron, Q4 50 e-tron and Q4 50 e-tron Sportback will begin arriving in the U.S. later this year, becoming Audi's most affordable EVs stateside.

• Rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions of the crossover will be on the menu, with a starting price of $44,995 for the RWD model prior to any incentives.

• Based on the MEB platform, the Q4 e-tron twins are related to the VW ID.4 and other EVs from VW Group brands.

The week Audi revealed pricing for its most affordable EV yet, one that's headed to dealerships later this year. The Q4 e-tron family, based on VW Group's MEB platform, will start at $44,995 prior to any federal or local incentives when it goes on sale in a matter of weeks, becoming the Ingolstadt-based automaker's latest addition to its expanding EV lineup.

Just like the Volkswagen ID4, the Q4 40 e-tron will be offered with rear-wheel drive in base form, serving up 201 hp and 229 lb-ft of torque—figures that should be familiar to those who've been following the debut of MEB platform cars—and will be able to make the sprint from 0 to 60 in 7.9 seconds. One figure that's missing for now is the model's official EPA range, but we expect it to land pretty close to the ID.4's 260-mile range.
