2022 Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron | MotorWeek Road Test

While many brands are just now dipping their toes into the battery electric vehicle pool, Audi has been swimming around in it for quite a few years, and is making even more waves with perhaps their most significant stride yet, this Q4 e-tron. So, let’s dive in for the details.

Just doesn't seem like $70000 worth of car 🤔 can't see myself making payments over $1000.00 a month for this

Rear drum brakes? Should not be on any Audi vehicle.

It needs MORE RANGE! It’s too expensive! …..Remember when DVD players came out, and they cost $1, 000?!? Eventually the price came down. I’ll keep my ICE for another 6-8 years and pick something electric up (Kia, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota) when the price loaded is $40-$50K, and the RANGE is 350-400 miles. ……excited for 2030!!

Drum brakes. You know, like in a twenty year old Jetta. They're probably from a twenty year old Jetta.

This sounded like an 80’s infomercial! 😂

I don’t get why the id4 or the q4 are so conservative on power. They are heavy and 300 horse is not enough for the price.

[gravedigger]

Drum brakes??? You're kidding right?!? LOL

[markallen]

Audi's (and Volkswagen's) gasoline-powered cars are infamous for persistent electrical problems that dealers can't seem to isolate and repair successfully. I can't imagine trusting the brand to build a reliable electric vehicle.

No way this is worth 67k in top spec…with drum brakes. Give me a break!

Audi may consider making an RS Q4 e-tron in case competitors such as the Porsche Macan GTS EV, Ford Shelby Mach-E GT500, and Tesla Model Y Plaid as well as the possibility of a BMW iX3 M50, Mercedes-AMG EQC 63S SUV, Lexus RZ F, and others join the fray.

Looks like a Ford Escape and a Volvo XC40 had a love child.

[lukerinderknecht]

Idk why but that rear is serving me Hyundai from 10 years ago

[billyrock]

Grossly Overpriced, drum brakes and brutally crappy range.

Expert score - 4/10 👎🏿

[ScottG]

Honda-like attention to detail? 😅 Isn’t Audi the maker known for their attention to interior detail? Honda is known for their utilitarian practicality.

a 5 year old Nissan Murano has better styling than this

[BucksMom]

Ford fusion looking…meh. I don’t know- I dislike the looks of these ev’s. Gulp….Im a dinosaur😂

[foxtrot]

I see very little reason to pick this over an ID.4 Pro S… unless you need the stupid and awkward af “sport back” bs.

[RobertDooley-slcp]

I'd rather get a Tesla...drum breaks at any price...yikes

[cndam]

Lol video is very 90's feel. Especially the intro walking toward the car in that outfit.

Used to love and own Audi's it now that all seem so boring Russian doll 🪆
