Names: Q4 35 e-tron · Q4 40 e-tron · Q4 45 e-tron quattro · Q4 50 e-tron quattro · Q4 55 e-tron quattro
- With caution
55 to 62 kWh gross batteries with APP 310 motor (2020-2024)
146–204 hp · APP 310
Covers cars built from 2020-2022, the period of the 2026 battery recalls and of measures 93P7/93Q2. Ask for the VIN and proof of the campaigns.[3][4][5]
- With caution
77 to 84 kWh gross batteries with APP 310 motor (2020-)
201–231 hp · APP 310
This is the most widespread version and the one in ADAC's test of a 77 kWh ID.3, which kept around 91% of its capacity after more than 160,000 km. The 2026 campaigns affect it depending on build period.[6][7][8]
- With caution
APP 550 motor, 210 to 240 kW (2023-)
282–326 hp · APP 550
It is very recent and there is little data on faults specific to the motor. The ID.7 is covered by the 93MV and 93MF campaigns of October 2026.[8][9]
- With caution
All-wheel drive with front asynchronous motor (2021-)
261–340 hp · AKA 150 (ID.7 GTX)
There is no specific data on faults in the front motor or reduction gear; the battery shares the campaigns of the rear-wheel-drive versions. Check the VIN as for the rest of the platform.[3][8]
Faults that affect 2024 cars
- Critical severityFrequency: OccasionalTraction batteryFaulty modules in the high-voltage battery with fire riskYes: in March 2026 Volkswagen and Cupra recalled around 74,600 ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 and ID. Buzz and around 19,500 Born built between 2022 and 2024, because some battery modules can overheat while charging and, in the worst case, catch fire. It is fixed with software and by replacing modules.
- Critical severityFrequency: OccasionalTraction batteryFaulty supplier cells: charging limited to 80% until the battery is checkedIn October 2026 the KBA published new campaigns (93MV, 93MF and 93W4 on the Born) for high-voltage battery cells that do not meet the required quality. While the car is being checked, charging is limited to 80% and must be done outdoors.
- Medium severityFrequency: OccasionalChargingCharging that does not start or cuts out (AC and fast charging)In several MEB cars, owners and the press describe charging that does not start or is interrupted, both on AC and on fast charging. The sources point to the on-board charger, connector locking or software, with no single cause.
