Current And Upcoming Models In Detail

\

By leveraging technologies from the Volkswagen Group, Audi has been able to create a fairly comprehensive and impressive catalog of electric vehicles. It’s one of very few brands that remain committed to varying body styles, including coupes, sedans, and

even station wagons
, but SUVs and crossovers remain its primary focus. Audi isn’t really a major player in the mass production EV sales race, with reports indicating it to have sold 23,152 electric models in the U.S. throughout 2024. This reflects a 7.5 percent decline in demand compared to 2023, despite the introduction of some compelling updates to its existing electrified model line. Audi’s overall global market performance hasn’t been too impressive, but there’s a chance that its 2025 catalog of electric SUVs and crossovers may improve its performance.

Audi also has a handful of upcoming EVs due for the American market, but beyond this, it has decided to roll back its aggressive full electrification strategy in favor of

more hybrid and PHEV models
. This is a trend that we’re seeing throughout the Volkswagen Group as the company has realized its initial target to completely phase out the

ICE by 2030 is somewhat unreasonable
. Instead, it will be looking at a 2040 due date, which coincides with the mass production of key technologies that will make electrified vehicles a much more viable long-term option, such as solid-state battery technologies. In the meantime, these are all the Audi EV SUVs that you can consider, together with some that may be making their way to the U.S.

In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from various manufacturer websites and other authoritative sources, including source 1, source 2, and source 3. The Models below have been ranked based on their starting MSRP.

2024 Audi Q4 e-tron: A Comprehensive Guide On Features, Specs, And Pricing

This guide has everything you need to know about the 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron so you can decide if it’s the right all-electric mid-size SUV for you.

Audi Q4 E-Tron

Starting MSRP: $49,800

The 2025 Audi Q4 E-Tron is available as a conventional crossover or Sportback for those who desire a more athletic profile and are happy to sacrifice some interior space. The SUV range starts with the 25 state-of-tune, which features a single permanent-magnet-synchronous motor mounted to the rear axle. This generates 282 horsepower, resulting in a 6.2 second 0-60 MPH time and 112 MPH top speed. The EPA indicates that this model will cover 288 miles on a single charge thanks to an 82 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. You can also expect to enjoy a favorable 29 kWh per 100 miles average energy consumption figure.
The 55 state-of-tune is available for both bodystyles, and benefits from an additional electric motor on the front axle. This brings the combined power output up to 335 horsepower, but sacrifices range down to 258 miles and consumption to 34 kWh per 100 miles. On the plus side, you get to enjoy a 5.0-second 0-60 MPH acceleration time and an unchanged 112 MPH top speed. The battery pack takes 28 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent via a DC Level Three fast charger.

2024 Audi Q8 e-tron

The 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron is the flagship all-electric SUV from Audi, the culmination of five years of improvements over the debut of the original Audi e-tron SUV. This luxury SUV packs a punch with 402 horsepower, taking you from 0 to 60 MPH in 5.4 seconds. The Q8 e-tron comes with a mediocre 285-mile range, but it can charge from 10% to 80% in just 31 minutes at DC Fast-Charging stations. The interior is packed with tech, including three digital screens that make up Audi’s Virtual Cockpit, launching you into the future of what the inside of an SUV should look like.

Audi still has select 2024 Q8 E-Tron models in SUV and Sportback guise listed on its online configurator. It’s understood that the 2025 model year will arrive sometime after this month ends. This model is available exclusively with the brand’s dual-motor configuration, producing a combined 402 horsepower and 414 pound-feet. The result is a 5.4-second 0-60 MPH time and 124 MPH limited top speed. The EPA estimates that the 114 kWh battery pack is good for a 272-mile range on a single charge, while the system returns a 43 kWh per 100-mile average energy consumption figure.

The 2025 Audi Q6 And SQ6 E-Tron Sportback Demand Attention

The Audi Q6 lineup is being used to showcase what we should expect from future Audi vehicles, and it is very impressive.

Audi’s SQ6 E-Tron
maintains the same dual-motor configuration, but with an increased 509-horsepower output, resulting in a 4.1-second 0-60 MPH time and 130 MPH top speed. The EPA estimates it will cover 283 miles on a single charge and return a 38 kWh per 100 miles average energy consumption result. Towing capacity decreases to 3,300 pounds.

The Audi SQ6 E-Tron is also under review by the likes of Consumer Reports and J.D. Power, so we don’t quite know how it matches up next to its rivals just yet. It’s also available in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims, but the standard features are a little bit different from the conventional Q6 E-Tron range.

The

SQ8 E-Tron
is Audi’s flagship performance SUV model, featuring a triple electric motor configuration that generates a combined 496 horsepower. This gets you from 0-60 MPH in just 4.2 seconds before you hit the 130 MPH top speed limit. Again, your towing capacity declines to 3,300 pounds, which is still fair for an EV SUV of this caliber. The EPA suggests that the added performance reduces the 114 kWh battery’s range down to 242 miles and increases energy consumption to 48 kWh per 100 miles.

Like the 2025 Q8 E-Tron, we expect the Audi Sport variant to arrive sometime next month. While it is a separate model line, it shares the same review results as the Q8 E-Tron model. Audi offers this model in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims. The standard features for the 2025 model are due to be revealed closer to the official launch date.
