#Audi #Q4etron #EV #SUV

The Audi Q4 e-tron is very similar to the VW ID.4 and Skoda Enyaq. But it’s more expensive. Is it really worth the extra? Well, actually, it could be, and you might even describe this EV as “good value”. Watch to find out why.

I’ve ordered a 40 S-Line, surprisingly on cost grounds. On my company scheme a Q4 is cheaper than an Enyaq with the same spec and with leather seats as an option (essential for me) there’s £5 per month difference between the Sport and S-Line versions. Driven both the Q4 and Enyaq (and Ionic 5) and agree not a lot of difference but to me the Q4 was quieter and I much preferred the interior with real buttons. Strange times when an Audi is cheaper than a Skoda.

I have had a 40 S-Line launch edition for a few weeks, brilliant car, I swapped out of a full size e-tron and glad I did, much better tech, feels a more modern vehicle and I genuinely have gotten 316 miles out of it :-)

So I’m 6 moths in to having the q4 e-tron vorsprung, so top line I’m pleased. There are however some issues which having now researched are not new and are a known issue for nearly a year! Questions to ask the dealer before you buy;
- show me the Audi app and what I can do remotely? (you will be surprised by lack of functionality)
- show me how to set up user profiles? (You can’t which means every time you start you have to read a disclaimer and agree to move the message off the screen, this also means you can’t save favourites or even add a home destination…..😖

We have two (40 and 35) having swapped a Q3 and A6 avant and love them. Interestingly the 35 drives better, no doubt due to the lower weight from the smaller battery….

Looking forward to the introduction of this car to the U.S. market. It was supposed to arrive this spring, but the debut keeps getting postponed.

I enjoyed watching the Video Review. A rotary dial would be better for the driver. The Interior design Is very nice 👍

9:37 for the 3 pin plug where did you get the figure of 11.5 hours from? 0-100, so let's say the usable battery is 70kwh, 70/2.3 = 30 hours to recharge from 0-100%

the car shown at 1:53 isn't the Q4 sportback, but the e-tron sportback

[oliverstemp]

The electric SUV done properly. The Sportback is especially nice. It’s around the same price as ID4 and ID5 too

I like the Q4 and plan to buy an AWD model here in US.

[jonpriston]

Ordered mine in July and looking at September delivery. Can't wait! I'm hoping that all the huge delays will sort themselves out as I'm seeing new orders with tow bars and sunroof getting June/July 22 delivery dates

We have been told by Audi that it is not possible to buy the Q4 with a factory fitted tow hitch in the UK at the moment but models sold overseas seem to have this option (a pop out version). Does anyone know why?

[jamieharris]

You should have said that the matrix lights and funky steering wheel are optional extras in the Sport and S-Line trims.

Looked at a Q4 40 S-Line yesterday and a Hyundai Ionic 5 today. The Audi is just so much better put together.

I find it so disappointing that with the incredible opportunities that an electric drivetrain offers in terms of form factor, that we’re getting vehicles which look exactly the same as their ICE predecessors. Are car buyers REALLY that conservative? If so, I despair.

[agentjrb]

I wish car companies wouldn’t feel the need to change the style of their controls unless it augmented functionality and justified it.

Change for the sake of change or being different without it being an improvement doesn’t make sense to me.

The reviewer mentioned the interior doesn’t feel as good as in previous years, I wonder if it’s an Audi cost savings agenda or more VW making its way into Audi.

I wish Audi put the money into developing a UI that’s specific to the etron lineup to make the cars feel more special.

A heads-up display in the Model 3. That's all I'm asking for, TESLA.

[vtechead]

Anybody thinking of buying one, or any electric model from Audi, should hold on till next year. Audi are upgrading the batteries fitted to all models to give bigger range and better charging times. There may even be other models from different manufacturers to choose from - and cheaper.

Name the board member/s who signed off the 'fake air vents'. At ~ £47K-£55K I'd want solid gold ones, with holes in!

[rustanhalleby]

Why show the speaker more that the car?

Awesome video but.... it all fell apart when he started driving.
My advice (and I appreciate I'm a nobody), don't use that camera again for your interior cabin footage when driving. The Optical image stabilisation is total trash. That's why the image is wobbling.
Everything else was top notch.
