I tried both and the Skoda.
I stayed with Audi and went with the Q4. It just felt so much better. Now the long wait until it's delivered.

[compressionratio]

Thomas! We love you and your reviews. Been watching for a while now and always good to watch and entertaining.

[mattdecandia]

Love your reviews all the way in Texas USA .. thank you sir

[racekar]

Thomas, I live in an area that has winter road conditions, including snow. Would you please drive some of these AWD EV’s in the snow to compare there abilities to their ICE AWD competitors. Are they any good, it’s important to a large segment of the buyers.

[littlsuprstr]

id4 has become very popular in my area. wish they offered id3 too.

[jonathantaylor]

A fabulously detailed and very informative comparison, Thomas - super review, fella...!
For me, the Audi wins this comparison hands-down, for the interior design and improved quality over the cost-cutting iD.4, plus the more svelte exterior styling. 😎

As an OLD in numbers Brit, I really appreciate the way you use inches and mm. I am just waiting to collect my new Q4, it is somewhere in the country, so have watched every YouTube video, this was excellent. Many thanks.

The reason this channel doesn't have more subscribers is probably because people think this is a German review channel. They don't know it's in English. Otherwise this channel is awesome. I absolutely love the content.

[guykedem]

Great review. Waiting for the ultimate comparison: Enyaq IV vs ID4 vs Q4 ETRON

[StephenPort-fi]

Great review as always. I’ve got an GTX on order. They’ve changed the spec a fair bit, can no longer get the GTX Max and instead have a lot of the optional extras in the standard GTX now (eg heads up display) and have got a heat pump. Also that blue dashboard (which is horrible) isn’t an option anymore, you can only get black which is great news.
Can’t wait to get it! Audi is lovely though.

VW need to rip out that infotainment system and start again completely. Also get rid of the capacitive buttons and they could have a compelling car but as it is it'll make people pay extra for Tesla, either that or be left very disappointed. I can't have a car in this day and age with a laggy unresponsive screen, and buying a new car in 2021, no one should.

[davidgiles]

In the USA, there's a ~$10, 000 price premium for an equivalent package AWD Q4 vs. the AWD ID.4. From a practicality perspective, the ID.4 is the clear winner. From an overall design and enthusiast's perspective, the Q4 wins. So, you'd have to ask yourself which you'd rather have based on those metrics. Having said that, while I prefer the more conventional controls in the Audi, I strongly feel that after a few days, you'd become very used to the controls in the VW...

[heartofcinema]

Thomas is the best vehicle reviewer on you tube.

[PNA]

Thx for this video! I need to check the Q4 ! Thank you 🙏

[PVNInteriors]

It's so nice to have many choices to buy an EV in this size! And more on the way in 2022.

[peteb]

Great video Thomas, thanks for sharing. When will you review the Genesis GV60?

[disla]

Thomas, thank you for such a detailed comparison. For the noise difference, it must be in part due to the dual laminated acoustic door glass in the Audi's front doors. I just got a Q4 50 and compared it at low speeds to my friend's new ID.4 ProS AWD (GTX). The steering in the VW and the car itself seemed a bit lighter and playful, Audi drove as...an Audi, seemed a bit more solid and stable.
As far as materials, features and pricing here in the US go, I'd highlight that ID.4 now gets up to $7500 federal tax credit and additional State-based incentives ($2, 000 rebate in NJ) that Audi doesn't qualify for. VW also provides unlimited 3y. DC charging at ElectrifyAmerica, while Audi - just the [lame] first 250 kW.
Features: VW includes auto-park assist ('22 Audi doesn't), wireless charging pad (also missing in the' 22 Audi), front massage seats and passenger seat memory (not even available in Audi).
Audi's standard leather seats seemed better, but I wish they were ventilated. The door tops and esp. door inserts and the dashboard would definitely benefit from soft and seat - like color and texture, as in VW.
I do agree that even after the last 3.1 VW software update Audi's virtual cockpit and its overall software is better. Given how easy it is to accidentally move driver's view elements by just sliding your hand over capacitive touch buttons, I'd also say that the real buttons and scroll wheels were also better.

I tried the Q4 alongside the Mach e, both my wife and I preferred the Mach e. Test driving the id4 gtx, Ioniq 5 and the Ev6 this weekend.

[jrgenkuhlmann]

Great video as always, Thomas. Which car to go for? Polestar 2 rwd or Q4 e-tron 40 rwd. After configuration Audi is € 5000 is more expensive.
