O. M. G. Zack's dad joke was hilarious! Pls make this a constant theme!

I think it has just the right amount of boldness and conservative design cues. The interior could use some contrast colors. I think this will have broad appeal. Very well thought out.

We live in in the pacific NW and are a two car family. For about the cost of a Tesla Y we bought these two cars: Nissan Leaf SV plus as our town car and a Subaru Legacy for road trips. Leaf has buttons and a birds-eye view camera for tight city parking spots, Subaru for hitting the slopes.

Thanks for reviewing this! Perfect size for me and although the front feels too round imo, I’m still excited to be on the list for this one. Hope it arrives sooner than they quoted me 😂

Saw pics and it looked just ok but in your video it looks beautiful in action. So far this is top of my list when I begin shopping for an EV.

For comparing the costs of the ID4 and the Audi Q4 in the U.S., under the new law the ID4 which will be assembled in North America will qualify for the full $7500 tax credit, but the Audi, which is not, will not qualify. That widens the price gap considerably.

04:30 I share Zack's enthusiasm about regular door handles. I think this trend of trying to re-invent things that have absolutely worked for decades is the silliest thing happening in the auto industry and I'll go as far as saying it's downright dangerous. Plus, gaining what I'm assuming is 1 maybe 2 miles of extra range while adding complexity to the user experience is not worth it.

I road tested this a few days ago during Audi Canada's road show in Calgary. WOW, did I love the smooth ride and acceleration. And I am one of those doubters who say I will probably never buy an EV. I was impressed by how much this felt like a traditional SUV/car. I just wish they could have used the type of materials that they used in the Q2 (not available in Canada). That crossover used a lot of hard plastic but at least it was uniquely patterned solid plastic instead of the glossy stuff that will scratch up and get dirty easily.

I have the q4 e-tron 45 for six weeks now and I love the car. From my point of view, Audi has managed fantastically to build up the more than sufficient acceleration of the car very smoothly. The situation is similar when braking. All that plastic should be embarrassing for Audi, but you don't have to touch it. Don't buy the car without the head up display. It's phantastic.

Awesome review on Audi Q4 Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻 Audi Q4 is a good looking vehicle with a great interior design. Reasonable price for the luxury vehicle! 👍🏻👍🏻 It’s hard to tell difference between a gas model to an EV model in exterior. I think that’s smart.

I drove both of them but finally got the Audi. The Q4 has lots of plastic on its doors, but the ID4 is pure plastic all over. Looks cheap and I don't understand this. The prices of these cars are just crazy and I would have expected a bit more. But in the end it's not that important. When you drive it, you just look at the head up display. Best 'part' of the car by the way.

The boots perfectly match the hazard button!

This seems very nice.

This has physical HVAC controls... this is excellent. I'd definitely consider one.

I reserved and am waiting for the exact SUV you tested, a 2023 mythos black Q4 w/premium pkg and optional 20's. Been driving a Tesla which I love but have been waiting for either Audi or BMW to bring us an electric SUV. Your review just cemented my choice and I like how good it looks on the road.

However for the price tag they could have put more battery cells to accommodate a rage of 320+ miles (around 350 would have been ideal). I do agree with Andrea, it has too much of plastic within the car, especially in the cockpit. The leg room in the back seats and the trunk space could have been improved. Overall the driving feels smooth and the matrix LED headlights are just awesome.

Great review guys. My only comment is we hear about competing EV's, but other than Tesla, I consider them like concept cars as you cant one for up to 2yrs, thats not competition in my mind. A friend wanted to but a deposit down on an Ioniq 5 a fanatic EV, but they won't even take your deposit. The caddy looks nice but when can you get one. I feel the whole supply part is never talked about enough...

That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you do a dad joke.🤣

I’ve had one of these for about a year. Good car, but I wouldn’t get it again because a few deal breakers that weren’t apparent in a short test drive. First, this is the hardest car to reverse in my 40 years of driving. The visibility out the back window is lousy, so there is no looking over the shoulder. But what about the back up cam? That’s not very good either. And there is no birds-eye view like some Audis. Second, the blocky hood causes a weird optical illusion that makes the driver think that objects are closer than they actually are. I find that I am constantly turning wide around corners and parking far back in parking spaces. Third, the range is quite short. In best conditions during the summer, you are pushing it if you drive more than 3 hours without charging. And winter is much shorter.

Audi Vancouver seems to have some nice incoming units (arriving in next two weeks) available…… not sure if they are a result of cancelled orders or whether they will be offered to reservation holders - so check it out

I want more hybrid or phev of every segment on the market

The bell didn’t ring when you pointed to it!!

I would buy this in the Prestige trim, but it's almost impossible to find, and the few dealers who have it are marking it up over MSRP. (And I'm an Audi owner and would be coming from a 2019 S5 Cabriolet in the Prestige trim).

does the red shoes come with the vehicle?

Fred Flinstone would approve of the regen braking (saves his heels).

Test drove Audi Q4 and Volvo XC40 today. Audi feels more luxurious but significantly slower and heavier

Possibly you were referring to the BMW ix4 with the flat top steering wheel

Electric?..I’m sorry but that industry I’m not sure, you video is excellent, thanks 🙏

Would you buy one of these instead of the id.4?

It wouldn't hurt to give the floor mats a little shake.😁

Really appreciate the emphasis on cheap interior parts. If carmakers aren’t held accountable they’ll keep making cost cuts on “premium” cars!

who needs a dedicated navigation these days when everyone uses google or apple navigation. Audi is smart to make navigation optional and add real options in the base car like heated seats etc.

Idea please! While you guys are saying about specs you may show real all numbers on screen for people who less hearing ( like me) to see and think about it better and accurately. Thks

I know it is super confusing but you do qualify for the Federal EV rebate even if it's $72,000 CAD. Audi only has one trim on the Q4 and they did it for a reason so it qualifies. I copied and pasted the following information right of the official website for you: Vehicles are still eligible for the incentive even if delivery, freight and other fees (like vehicle colour, add-on accessories (e.g., a roof rack), options, and packages) push the actual purchase price over these set limits. As long as a vehicle (the year, make, model, and trim) appears on the list of eligible vehicles, an incentive can be provided. A “trim” is a preset package of equipment and finishes offered for a particular vehicle model (for example: base, sport, touring, etc.). A vehicle model can have multiple trim levels. Different trim levels will usually have different prices and those may not qualify but the Q4 e-tron 50 qualifies, you can add as many packages and a la carte items as you like.

Still not convinced...Oh and the interior colour is grim ie if you want cream/ beige eg if you have the Navarro Blue body colour, its like. 2350 Euro add! Horrendous

Price is lower than luxury equivalents because it’s a warmer over VW with Audi badges :) Also, while Audi can get credit for some items all of the ‘decisions’ to make this a conventional car with a battery are just cost savings at Audi…BTW great reviews as always
