Overview
- Audi detailed the 2026 Q4 e-tron refresh Monday, centering the update on longer driving range, quicker DC charging, and a new Android-powered “Digital Stage” cockpit with larger screens.
- A new rear App350 motor and updated power electronics with silicon-carbide inverters reduce energy losses, with outlets reporting about a 10% efficiency gain and up to 592–595 km of WLTP range depending on version.
- Peak DC charging rises to about 185 kW, which Audi says takes the battery from 10% to 80% in roughly 27–28 minutes and can add about 180–185 km of range in a 10‑minute stop under ideal conditions.
- Bidirectional charging arrives for the first time, enabling vehicle-to-load to power gear from the car and vehicle-to-home to send energy back to a house, with initial V2H availability noted for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
- The lineup offers 63 kWh and 82 kWh batteries in SUV and Sportback bodies, with Italy retailing from €43,350 in Q3 2026 and Germany listing an entry SUV at €47,500 for the 63 kWh variant.
