Fantastic review (again) - the most in depth one on KZread. I’ve been looking at a Q4, Enyaq and Ionic 5 and have to say I’ll be going for the Audi now. For me it’s actually cheaper as a Company car than the Enyaq, about the same price as an Ionic 5. However the ionic 5 in real life has a smaller trunk (I know the Banana Box test doesn’t show that!) - it’s just too shallow for what I need. All three are good cars though and it show how far EV’s have come.

12:10 You actually can customize the content of the "3 big tiles" view by long pressing on the tiles. You can also change the order of the tiles in the standard "8 tiles view" by long pressing. When you are in the editing mode you also can drag and drop the tiles to the left "shortcut bar" as well.

Does the center arm rest slide forward like most VW products? Is the turning radius similar to the ID4?

Thanks.. is the HUD the same in all the siblings?

Very informative video again especially about boot height and width, instead of cubic metre capacity - TY

Hi Bjorn what type of bosh laser did u use?

Another great review - thx Byorn. I sat in a Q4 yesterday and the seats are comfortable, the rear passenger room epic but the front did have a lot of shiny plastic which rather pushes me towards an IX3. I also sat in a 'fat etron' and I agree - the quality difference was immediately apparent - the Q4 is not nearly as premium.

@babelhuber3449

Of course! The Q4 _is_ cheaper, so it has to _feel_ cheaper, too. That's by design so that the Q4 doesn't cannibalize the fat e-tron. It's like the Q3 vs. the Q7 or the A3 vs. the A6. Basically the designers had the task to create a car that competes well with the iX3 and EQA/ EQB, but feels cheaper than the e-tron. That's not easy.

This looks more like a Q2 etron than something that would be close to Q5

The front central armrest does extend forward. You lift it up & pull it from the front forwards. just like the Audi Q5 & 7.

Nice👍 thanks. Like the climate buttons on Audi.

Is that the standard pebble grey?

The armrest can be pushed forwards on 9/10 Q4’s. Its an option, but most cars will have this. Also the buttons on the steeringwheel is haptic feedback. It is only one big button, but gives you haptic feedback depending on where you press it 👍🏻

Great knowledgable review! Thanks Björn!

Do they claim over the air updates on this one?

Orangutan hands 😂 Awesome vid! Going through the finishing details - feel, material and sound. Great that you have startet to comment on the bare metal in the cabin as well. Once upon a time Audi A3 had a nice cover over the "bare metal" parts... now German VAG is saving the doug with hard plastic every where!! Transistioning to eletric is not cheap I guess ;-) I think BMW are the only ones left in Germany still having a true premium cabin. Not sure about the new crappy front wheel drive cars ;-)

will there be a renault twingo test?

Where do you put the garbage?

Thank you Stormberg

Which Q4 e-tron configuration were you reviewing, Bjorn? I would like to order one with a sunroof, but according to the Audi UK website it is only available with the most expensive 'Technic' version which has lots of fancy stuff I don't need.

This looks so cheap, it's supposed to be between Q3 and Q5 but these materials are A1 level for the price of a Q5!!! That's horrendous

Thank you for your videos Björn. You actually convinced me as a petrol head to go electric. So I traded in my fossil leasing to get a fat etron actually. I prefer it over the q4 because of the way more premium interior feel. I checked the q4 but for me it is just way too overpriced for that much cheap plastic inside.

What about q4 etron or EQA if we only talk quality in the interior? I know the EQA is smaller, but after the summer the EQB arrives, which is gonna be same tech as EQA😊

The Audi doesn't seem much more expensive though. For the 170HP version there is less than 10% difference to ID4. Although the ID4 is available in a lower horsepower version than the Audi. So it's relatively little premium and maybe the Audi has a bit more included so price could be nearly identical. And base Audi is cheaper than Tesla Model 3 here in Denmark. That's probably not a coincidence.

Bjørn, we are looking forward to your IONIQ 5 review and test.

Poor interior quality with rock hard plastic on the door panels in the back etc. Quirky armrests and a more renault-like feel. Not what i expected for a brand like Audi and in this class (more ok if it was a A3 or A1). I expected it to be more premium than enyaq and id4. Now there's no reason not to buy the enyaq instead.

I agree. Q4 is not on same level as Etron 55 but the difference is larger between Q4 and Enyaq/ID4 I would say. Apart from a better layout, the plastic used in Q4 is of much better finnish than ID4/Enyaq. It’s also very aparent in the center consol/storage, door handles and buttons. Enyaqs wheel, buttons and door handle are awfully nasty plastic, and ID4 center console/storage plastic and piano black door handles feels and looks cheap which may be a dealbreaker to a few people - especially if you are used to audi, merca and bmw.

Alex, I agree. EV versions of Audi and VW are unfortunately not as premium as their ICE models for some reason.

Usually Audi arm-rests can be pushed forward…..is it not so in the Q4?

My ID.4 is disappointing compared to this. This car is peak-MEB. Actual buttons where there should be buttons. A center console instead of the garbage tiny armrests in the ID. More than one 12v. A roof that opens. Climate control you can use as soon as you turn the car on, instead of waiting a minute for it to all boot up. Hope some of the SW features trickle down to the ID series, at least.

Except digital cockpit this q4 is behind Enyaq in every single aspect.

After watching this review I’m not sure I’m fascinated with this car anymore. Looks cheaply built. Looks like I will settle for the RS or the S models………l guess🤷‍♀️
