Charging Speed
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N has the higher published DC charging figure at 350 kW, which is roughly 100% higher than the Audi Q4 e-tron at 175 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the published fast-charge window, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is listed at about 18 minutes, which is 10 minutes quicker than the Audi Q4 e-tron at 28 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Audi Q4 e-tron has a WLTP rated range of approximately 562 km, which is roughly 114 km more than the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N at approximately 448 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Audi Q4 e-tron consumes 179 Wh/km, compared to 205 Wh/km for the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N. That means the Audi Q4 e-tron uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Audi Q4 e-tron has approximately 77 kWh of useable battery , while the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N has approximately 80 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging is your priority, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N has the higher published DC figure (up to 350 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 18 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Audi Q4 e-tron is the more efficient choice at 179 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Audi Q4 e-tron has a WLTP rated range of approximately 562 km, which is roughly 114 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
