2027 Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback F4 UK Version
By Lorenzo Bianchi July 30, 2026
The Q4 e-tron Sportback carries a consistent £1,900 premium over the SUV body style across all trims, starting from £48,160 OTR.
The Sportback is available across the same four trims as the SUV — Sport, S line, Black Edition, and Vorsprung — with identical powertrain options.
Range tops out at 360 miles on the 286 PS variant, with DC charging speeds up to 185 kW on the quattro performance model and bidirectional charging support across the range.
A Naming Note Worth Flagging
The source press release is dated 4th June 2026 and doesn't mention a 2027 model year or an "F4" chassis designation anywhere in the text, so those parts of the target naming aren't confirmed by this document. What is confirmed: Audi has updated its UK electric range, and the Sportback continues alongside the standard SUV as one of two body styles, priced at a flat £1,900 premium over the equivalent SUV trim throughout the range.
Shared Styling, Sportback Included
The release doesn't describe Sportback-specific exterior styling separately from the SUV — trim-level details like the single-frame grille, LED lighting, and wheel options are presented as applying across both body styles. One detail is explicitly SUV-only: the release notes that Black Edition's black exterior styling on the roof rails applies to "SUV only," implying the Sportback either omits roof rails or handles that trim element differently, though the source doesn't elaborate further.
Cabin Technology Carries Across
The Sportback shares the same trim-based interior technology as the SUV. Every model gets a 12.8-inch MMI Navigation Plus display and an 11.9-inch Virtual Cockpit, with wireless smartphone integration and twin inductive charging trays standard. Higher trims add the same upgrades described for the SUV — S line's illuminated door sills, Black Edition's memory-function front seats, and Vorsprung's 12-inch front passenger display paired with the SONOS 10-speaker system.
Powertrain Options Are Identical
The technical data table in the release doesn't separate Sportback figures from SUV figures, so power, battery, and performance numbers are presented as shared specifications. Three outputs are available: 204 PS with a 63 kWh battery, 286 PS with an 82 kWh battery, and 340 PS quattro all-wheel drive, also on the 82 kWh pack. The 286 PS variant offers the longest range at 360 miles, while the quattro model is quickest, reaching 62 mph in 5.4 seconds. Charging tops out at 185 kW on the quattro performance model, and the range becomes the first from Audi to support bidirectional charging.
Practicality Considerations
The source material doesn't detail boot capacity or cargo differences between the Sportback's sloped roofline and the standard SUV body, so nothing on practical trade-offs between the two shapes can be confirmed here.
Pricing and Where It Sits
Sportback pricing runs from £48,160 OTR for the entry Sport trim up to a projected £70,560 OTR for the range-topping quattro performance Vorsprung, based on the confirmed £1,900 premium applied consistently across the lineup. The release doesn't name direct rivals, so how the Sportback is positioned against competing coupe-SUV body styles isn't addressed in the source material. First UK deliveries are expected later this summer.
