Audi’s EV crossover gets more competitive
Since its introduction, the Audi Q4 e-tron has offered a refined entry point into the luxury electric SUV world. Based on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB electric vehicle platform, it shares bones with the Volkswagen ID.4 but brings a more premium look and feel, especially in its latest form.
For 2025, the rear-wheel drive Q4 receives a significant hardware update, including a rear motor redesign that delivers better efficiency and an additional 81 horsepower, up to 282 hp. Meanwhile, Audi says the dual-motor Q4 55 e-tron quattro delivers 335 horsepower and can now sprint to 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds.
For city commuters or young families looking for a practical but upscale EV, the Q4 e-tron makes a strong case. And with new lease offers rolling out across the country, Audi hopes it will become an even more compelling option for buyers who’ve been on the fence.
The Audi Q4 e-tron lease deal for May
Audi is now offering competitive lease deals on single- and dual-motor configurations of the 2025 Q4 e-tron, though pricing varies significantly by region. California drivers, for instance, can lease the Q4 for 36 months at $499 per month with $3,999 due at signing. That works out to $610 per month over the course of the lease, not bad considering the vehicle’s recent powertrain improvements and luxury credentials.
In the New York City area, customers are only able to lease the dual-motor spec of the Q4 e-tron. New Yorkers will pay the same $499 a month, plus a $3,175 down payment. That works out to an effective monthly cost of $631.
Down in Atlanta, Audi is offering the same 24-month lease for $485 per month with $3,999 down, for a $650 monthly cost. If that’s a little rich, Atlanta-area customers can also lease the single-motor Q4 e-tron for as little as $397 a month for 24 months. Including a $3,299 down payment, that comes out to an effective monthly cost of $530. Check your local pricing here.
What you’ll be leasing
For 2025, the Q4 e-tron lineup includes rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive variants, with the latter carrying the “55 quattro” badge. All versions now benefit from a reengineered rear motor that delivers better performance and improved energy efficiency. EPA range estimates vary depending on trim and wheel size, but the single-motor Q4 45 e-tron model delivers 288 miles of range on a full charge, according to EPA estimates.

Charging is quick, too — especially with the updates. Audi says the Q4 can now charge from 10 to 80 percent in about 28 minutes using a DC fast charger, thanks to a peak rate of 175 kW. At home, a Level 2 charger can refill the battery in about 9 hours.
Standard equipment includes Audi’s latest MMI infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated seats, and Audi’s Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster. The Q4 also includes a full suite of driver-assistance features, such as lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning.
Final thoughts
Audi
The Q4 e-tron is still a relatively new face in the luxury EV world, but Audi is giving it the right updates — and lease pricing — to stay relevant. With a notable power boost and smarter lease incentives, the Q4 now makes a stronger case than ever. If you live in a region like California or Atlanta, the current lease terms are especially tempting. Audi’s current lease deals on the Q4 e-tron are set to run through June 2, 2025, so anyone considering a new electric luxury SUV might want to start browsing local inventory sooner rather than later.
