It has been roughly a year since Audi launched the first series of electric drives. Audi e-tron * is still covered with camouflage wrapping foils at this point.

The four-ring brand is now looking at another car using the electric car at the Geneva Motor Show: The Audi Q4 e-tron concept is a compact 4-door SUV with an external diameter of 4.59 meters.

Compact on the outside, wide inside: dimensions and interior

4.59 meters long, 1.90 meters wide, 1.61 meters high: The Audi Q4 e-tron concept takes its place in the third row of the compact class with its dimensions. For this reason, road space requirements describe the electric SUV as an agile, versatile, suitable for urban driving. On the other hand, the 2.77-meter wheelbase puts it in at least one class. The Q4 e-tron concept offers unexpected refreshment and comfort, especially in terms of front and rear footwells, since there is no transmission tunnel that limits the area.

Efficient performance: driving system and suspension

The modular electrification platform (MONE) offers a wide range of driving and power levels. The performance version of the electric drive is mounted on the Audi Q4 e-tron concept. Each front and rear axle is powered by an electric motor - Q4 is a quattro. There is no mechanical connection between the axles. Instead, the electronic control ensures that the torque distribution is optimally coordinated and does so in fractions of a second. This allows the electric SUV to achieve optimum traction in all weather conditions and on any surface.

Sporty, precise handling

The main factor for the sporty character and exceptional transverse dynamics is the low and central position in which the drive components are mounted. The high-voltage battery system matches the dimensions of the Audi Q4 e-tron and is located in a flat, wide block under the passenger compartment between the axles. The battery system weighs 510 kilograms. For this reason, the center of gravity of the Audi Q4 e-tron concept is similar to a sedan with a conventional drive system. The axle load distribution is perfectly balanced at almost 50:50. The front wheels of the Q4 e-tron are guided on a MacPherson axle with an adaptive damper. At the rear there is a multi-link axle with separate springs and adaptive dampers.

At the end of January, Audi sent his first fully powered SUV to the slopes where the world's best ski racers fought for victory at the Hahnenkamm Race. Audi e-tron, a specially equipped Audi e-tron, climbed the ef Mausefalle ef in the legendary Streif. With a gradient of 85 percent, it is the steepest part of the spectacular downhill course.

Ki We've proven the challenge of last year's electric SUV in a series of Audi e-tron overflows. From the Pikes Peak to the salty plains of Namibia and the high-voltage test compartment in Berlin - the Audi e-tron prototype overcame the biggest challenges kadar says Peter Oberndorfer, Product and Technology Communications Manager. Bir We pushed the limits further with the 'Mausefalle' sensational drive and we showed all the technical possibilities of quattro technology in an electric car. “

With a gradient of 85 percent, park Mausefalle ile is the steepest section of the famous K Streif ”downhill track in Kitzbühel. The Audi e-tron technology demonstrator is equipped with a special quattro power train with two electric motors on the rear axle and an electric motor on the front axle to climb this transition. The technology demonstrator achieved total support up to 370 kW and wheel torque of 8.920 Nm (6.579.1 lb-ft). It provided full performance on steep gradient. Audi has also modified the software for torque and torque distribution for special conditions on ı Streif Audi. The 19-inch wheels, which were specially developed for this driving activity, provided the necessary grip on snow and ice.
