5:49 Thomas, great review of the Q4 e-tron SUV and Sportback. I thought you said that you prefer a RWD to the quattro? No frunk means no added weight ahead of the front axle, which gives the rewarding RWD handling vehicle. No frunk means short overhangs. 17:50 Q4 e-tron SUV smaller turning diameter of 33.5 ft (10.2 m) vs MY 39.8 ft (12.1 m) vs Mach-E 38.1 ft (11.8 m) and shorter front and rear overhang vs the other two. 25:00 No one-pedal driving, TY. I like to put the brakes and my right or left foot to work or using the paddle shifters for the regen.

Also, the Passat hat a dedicated space behind the cupholder inside the armrest where you could put stuff in.

I watched a few of your videos now. I think you make quite great reviews and you have a good style of presentation. you also drive to the speed limit, which is appreciated and gives you credibility. if you have a cameraman on your side, perhaps both of you could discuss different points of view (if he wants to, of course). I hope this channel continues to grow and not turn into many on youtube which are clickbaits now. all the best.

Get rid of capacitive controls, change the piano black to textured carbon fiber, improve the materials on the door surfaces and this would be a definite buy for me.

Nice video, like always. How do you compare the q4 etron to its competitors EQC and iX3? And which one would you go for?

Do you know if the Q4 has car2x like the ID. models? No OTA updates?

Thanks for comparing both models side by side. Seems that the Sportback may have poorer rear visibility, but love the style.

I have watched your reviews for several other cars before finally deciding to own a Q4. Do you know if the side mirrors fold after you turn off the ignition automatically? In my Q2 it was under central locking menu but can’t find it in Q4. Would be disappointing if they didnt include this functionality.

Thanks a lot Thomas for a great review again! I would go for the Sportback. That one will be on my shortlist. 👍🏻

Does anyone know if these will be built in Chattanooga when the ID 4 and Buzz start being built there?

Ha! I don't know if it was intentional, but when Thomas talked about Audi going to animal free upholstery he said 'Mooooving' . The cows are happy for using their language.

Ah, this is the most anticipated test for me this year.

Did the paddles adjust the regen when you were in B mode, to make it any stronger? I really like that flat logo on the steering wheel, I think it looks modern and clean.

You are the coolest motorjournalist! 😃

Thankyou! A really good comprehensive and informative review, comparison between the two shapes was spot on too. I'm a bit old and unfortunately the grey/silver plastic trim on the outside reminds me too much of my teen years in the 80s. I like that Audi have transferred their interior knowledge to the Q4 e-tron. So far I think the Cupra Born is my favourite MEB platform car, and the Audi e-tron GT is my favourite on the other platform.

You know its a very cold spring when Tomas is wearing a winter jacket in late may.

Is the HUD as sharp as known from A4 / A5 / A6? I found the HUD in ID4 / Enyaq not sharp. And how is the SONOS System quality-wise?

Great job Sir

4:25 amazing acting LOL

I just drove the Q4 AWD. It's built like a vault, and has a comfortable and quiet ride, but slower than the competition. You nailed the feeling, Thomas. What concerns me is that charging speed and range is somewhat less than lower priced competitors. The seat was supremely comfortable and there was plenty of headroom in the rear. Sadly, there is no federal tax credit available any more for the Q4. I'm leaning towards the Lyriq, with more luxury and less sport, and with better range from its 100 kW battery and faster charging. I do prefer the interior of the Lyriq, and the Supercruise option is compelling. The Caddy should come with about $4,000-7,000 in federal tax credits, putting the price on parity with the Audi. I also prefer the exterior styling of the Lyriq. PLEASE GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE FOR REVIEW EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL TO FLORIDA TO DRIVE ONE! I will put you up here in St. Augustine for free!

More of the same from VAG. Where did the ETron GT style and innovation go? The front looks like it was influenced by a snow plough. 125 kW charging, seriously? Waiting for Ioniq 5 for an innovative EV. In the sub Taycan bracket.

Great review. I've just ordered my AUDI Q4 (40) e-tron as the BIK saving as a company car driver is huge! I currently have an Outlander PHEV and even going for a car that is more than £10k more expensive I'm saving almost £70 a MONTH in tax! Gone for the Navara Blue and I have added everything (except the Matrix headlights - couldn't justify £20 a month for a light signature I'll never see). Really excited to try out the SONOS sounds system, AI & smooth drive. Was a bit nervous about going all-electric for the first time but actually when you look into it, there are a lot of fast charging stations and this will only improve (hopefully fast than the increase in other drivers on the road though!). I have a charging station at home (11 hours full charge I've heard) and the 300 miles (Yes real will be less) should get me to the office on a full charge (200 miles) so I can plug it back in. I also opted for the retractable tow bar as I will be attempting camping (plus roof box) with this car. Might do a video to demonstrate the range as I will be carrying/pulling a fair bit :o

Can you make a comparison EQC, Etron 55, IX3 and Skoda. Which one do u recommend

Nice watch Thomas :). TH Carrera ?

Great review - thx Thomas. So.... Q4 or IX3 Thomas?

Wonderful review! Hopefully by the time the Q6 e-tron comes out they will have the animal free options sorted. I really like the Sportback! I agree with you, Thomas, on engaging heavier recuperation as you get comfortable with the car. On the 2021 e-tron Sportback I use the recuperation paddles a lot.

Great view again Thomas. The only thing missing was you measuring the length of the boot. I have two dogs and I just want to make sure there is enough room for them in the boot. Any chance of giving us the length?

That door close sound is so much the complete opposite of tesla's doors. I miss good build quality so much.

I cancelled my reservation due to the range. Will have around 200km range in winter @100% battery charge, and on top of that, it has a really slow charge rate at 125 when other manufacturers are already doing 350 charging. 1st gen electric cars arent gas car replacements yet, not in the real world, not in cold weather countries. Hopefully in the next 3-5 years they’ll get there. I’m looking at buying a hybrid now that i learned more about battery range in winter.

I like the Sportback look. The range looks good, I think VW has a really good lineup for electric. I like the interior way more than the Tesla. Of course I have an Audi A4 with the virtual cockpit right now, so it looks very familiar to me. Oh I do like the controls for the climate. Heads up display looks great. I had one in a BMW a few years ago that I really miss. Great review. I think for the price point right now I would go for the ID4. Maybe wait until next gen of this model, or pick one of these up used in 3 years.

Gr8 jacket!

Always a fan of your detailed reviews Thomas. The details you capture are second to none. Can you shed some light on the differences between 45 vs 50 etron. It looks to me, the mechanics including electric motor specifications are the same. The difference seems to be in software, which gives the boost function (25kw more output) in 50 etron when battery charge is > 88%. Do you agree with that or are there some other differences apart from visual (base vs advanced line)

I wonder if this is any quieter than the id4. I love how quiet the etron is, but that’s out of my budget, so I’m hoping this Q4 will be just as quiet as the etron.

What was the top speed for this? Is it like ID3 and ID4 160km/ or 180km?

Hi Thomas. You were 'blown away' last year by the IX3. But that was compared to cars available back then. Does this Audi hit the same level of driving experience? And is there a gap in driving dynamics compared to Enyaq?

Very good review thank you. I presently have an A3 Sportback needed for two grandchildren and big GWP dog so I thought the Q 4 would be a natural next step. After a half hour test drive I sadly have to say it’s too clunky and lacking in acceleration for me. I was seriously interested in going for the “Vorsprung” but Audi are not taking orders for it yet! Anyway the most likely model that might solve my need for speedier movement would be the Quattro but that zonks the price up quite a lot as I really want the pano roof. Well I won’t be buying but await the Tesla Y U.K. arrival next year 😐

I like the styling of the Sportback best; very good looking car. Pricing would mean the 200hp rwd.

Thank you Thomas! This sealed the deal.

Changing my XC40 is 2024. Could well be one of those.
