Audi updates Q4 e-tron with 185 kW charging, 367 mile range and vehicle to load capability for 2026

Audi has refreshed its Q4 e-tron SUV for 2026 with a new motor delivering 10% better efficiency, lifting range by 10 to 20 miles across variants; the Sportback performance model now reaches 367 miles. DC charging on higher specification models rises to 185 kW, cutting 10% to 80% recharge time to 27 minutes or adding 115 miles in 10 minutes, while the brand has introduced vehicle to load charging for the first time on this MEB platform model. Battery packs remain at 59 kWh or 77 kWh.

Why it matters: Faster charging and vehicle to load features may influence depot and workplace infrastructure planning as fleets adopt mid-range electric SUVs. The efficiency gains and extended range reduce the frequency of public charging stops, potentially easing demand on high power networks during peak periods.
