A sci-fi augmented head-up display

Also available on the new Audi Q4 e-tron is an all-new and pioneering augmented reality head-up display that projects key driving data onto the windscreen so that the information feels like its floating roughly 10m from the driver.

Using dynamic drone-style animated floating arrows for navigation and visual hints for driver assistance functions such as lane assist, it helps the driver focus more keenly on the road ahead especially in poor visibility conditions while still putting key information right in the drivers line of sight.

Powering this system is advanced software driven by 600,000 lines of code 50% more than in the first Space Shuttle.

Extending the frontiers of inner space

On the outside, the Audi Q4 e-tron stands out from the normal SUV pack with its striking lines and proportions particularly the short overhangs and long wheelbase that come as a result of the Q4 e-trons compact electric powertrain and the low-slung battery, which lies underneath the passenger compartment.

This also enhances interior space, with the extended 2.76m wheelbase (longer than most medium-sized SUVs) resulting in an interior that is 1.83m in length similar to a large full-size SUV. The absence of a central transmission tunnel means a flat floor and more leg room for rear passengers, while the rear seats have a commanding position 7cm higher than the front seats, while still offering plenty of headroom.
