Audi Q4 e-tron 2021 review - see why it's the best electric SUV!

.............................................................

This is the all-new Audi Q4 e-tron! It’s an all-new, all-electric SUV meant to compete with the likes of the Volkswagen ID.4 & Skoda Enyaq, and Mat’s here to see if it has what it takes to become an EV SUV class-leader!

When it comes to the style stakes, there’s no denying that this new Q4 can compete with the best of them. It’s available in this guise or as a Sportback, and the exterior comes covered in cool creases and well designed bumpers. It’s also super stylish on the inside too.

As for performance, there are three options to get your hands on - the 30, 40 or 50. We’ve got our hands on the S-Line 40 for this review, but the range topper is the 50, which comes equipped with dual motors and the ability to produce 300hp. It’s also packing an 82kWh battery pack, which is good for a claimed range of 298 miles.

There’s one issue though (for us UK viewers, at least)… The price starts at just over £40,000, which means those of us in the UK miss out on the Government’s UK EV grant - a saving of £2,500! With that in mind, should you choose the Q4 e-tron, or go for something cheaper instead? It’s time to find out!

No electric front seats. Rear drum brakes. On an Audi.
Speechless.

There’s a slight problem about the 5 good things: most of them are £xtras…. But overall it’s now one of my favorite electric cars

It would be a nice improvement for the videos not only show the "starting from" price, but also the price of the vehicle being reviewed :) Would give a good idea of whats the price point of the features and spec we're seeing being reviewed.

"grille is completely unnecessary" - it isn't there for a strict purpose, likewise on all Audis it doesn't need to be as big as it is, it is there as a design feature, it's called brand identity.

I've had it for a few days now and, coming from a Q7 50 TDI, it's absolutely insane. It does everything so effortlessly and it's so damn nice to drive. I'm not a huge fan of its exterior looks but I adore everything else about it!

[spewp]

Between the brake clunk sounds, lack of standard cameras and the AC vents on the hands, I'm out. That's atrocious for an Audi.

High specs Audi: £50k +

Still high specs Audi: Manual seats height adjustment, manual folding seats, no reversing camera

[drunkenwhiskeyeu]

Finally, Q4 being reviewed. Thank you for that

[magicalwonton]

Matt: “In fact, if …”
Me: Fast forward by 10 seconds

[johnjoel]

I think it looks more like a Q8 than a Q3. I love it

[jamesrad]

There's something about watching Matt "pumping away" on the seat xD

[victoredwards]

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how entertaining mat actually is.... keep up the great work mat 🙌

Edit : Why tf is everyone here a bot?
😑😑

[kevij]

12:58 you should mention that rear view camera is standard on toyota yaris

This is an appreciation comment for carwow!

This is the first review I've watched from Matt and I'm super impressed. The car is great but his style of reviewing is even better. Helpful, thorough, engaging and amusing. I've been thinking about this vehicle for my business and it has answered a lot of my questions. Thanks for a great review Matt.
