Audi Q4 e-tron suspension

The Q4 e-tron and the Q4 Sportback e-tron integrate the best conditions for high comfort, driving pleasure, and unshakable stability.

The front axle of the compact electric SUVs is designed in the classic McPherson construction method, and the steering is located underneath at the front.

On request, Audi can equip the two compact electric SUVs with the dynamic package or the dynamic package plus.

Dynamic package option PY8

In the dynamic package, the sport suspension (standard in the S line) lowers the body by 15 millimeters, while the conventional steering is replaced here by progressive steering (standard in the quattro models), which operates more directly the further the steering is turned.

The third element of the dynamic package is the Audi drive select dynamic handling system (standard in the Sportback), which brings new dimensions to the driving experience. With Audi drive select, the driver can switch the characteristics of the steering, the electric motors, and (in the quattro models) the electric all-wheel drive between the “comfort,” “auto,” “efficiency,” “individual,” and “dynamic” modes.

Dynamic package plus option PY9

In the dynamic package plus the suspension damping is adjustable from drive select. while the conventional steering is replaced here by progressive steering (standard in the quattro models), which operates more directly the further the steering is turned.
