Audi Q4 – Buyer's Quick Guide

Generation Name Years Platform Body Key changes
Gen 1 Launch 2022-2023 (US model years) MEB (Volkswagen Group) 5-door SUV, 5-door Sportback Available as Q4 40 e-tron (RWD, 201 hp) and Q4 50 e-tron quattro (AWD, 295 hp). 77 kWh usable battery, up to 265 miles EPA range. 11 kW AC / 150 kW DC charging.
Gen 1 Updated 2024-present MEB (Volkswagen Group) 5-door SUV, 5-door Sportback Revised software, improved infotainment responsiveness, updated headlight signature, new color options. Range slightly improved through software optimization. DC charging bumped to 175 kW on some trims.
  • Infotainment lag and glitches (Severity: medium)
    Slow response, screen freezes, and Bluetooth connectivity failures are widely reported by owners.
  • Gear position display failure (Severity: high)
    Shared MEB recall: software bug may show wrong gear, increasing rollaway risk in Neutral.
  • Headlight control module fault (Severity: high)
    Recall for 2022-2024 models where LED headlights may shut off unexpectedly while driving.
  • Airbag wiring issue (Severity: high)
    2022-2023 recall for side airbag wiring that could prevent proper deployment in a crash.
  • 12V battery drain (Severity: medium)
    Some owners report the 12V auxiliary battery draining overnight, leaving the car unable to start.
Generation NHTSA IIHS
2022-2023 Q4 e-tron Not rated Top Safety Pick+ (2023; Good in all crash tests, Superior front crash prevention)
2024+ Q4 e-tron Not rated Top Safety Pick+ (2024)
  • Recall completion
    Verify all recalls are done - especially the airbag and headlight campaigns. Ask the dealer to print the recall status by VIN.
  • Software version
    Early 2022 models had sluggish infotainment. Confirm the latest MEB software update (3.x or higher) has been installed.
  • Drivetrain check
    Decode the VIN to confirm RWD (40) vs AWD (50) - pricing differs by $5,000+. AWD adds a front motor.
  • Charging port
    Inspect the CCS charging port for damage. Check that DC fast charging reaches at least 100 kW during a test charge.
  • 12V battery
    Ask about 12V battery health. If the car sat on dealer lots for months, the auxiliary battery may already be degraded.
Annual Maintenance Repair Range Insurance Depreciation
$600-$900 (minimal; tire rotation, cabin filter, brake fluid, washer fluid) $300-$1,500 per year (most repairs under warranty; infotainment and 12V battery are common out-of-warranty items) $2,000-$3,000 per year (lower than other Audi EVs due to modest MSRP) ~50-55% (MEB-based EVs face steep early depreciation; competitive lease deals push used prices down)
