Thanks for good review. Btw the trunkspace is 520 litres, not 420.

Great review Tish!

Great review! Thanks

Stunning. The car too.

Totally agree with you on all points, sportback looks great. 😁 The boot space lid-thingy feels like they stole it out of a Ford sierra. 🤣 some facts were a bit off but with this much info I get that it is a challange. I would go for the sportback 40, longest range and best looks. Better start saving. 😁

Excellent review, Tish. SUVs (even electric ones) aren’t my cup of tea at all, but you made that purple monster seem rather attractive!😆

A number of mistakes in this review! For example. The electric tailgate is not standard on all models, if comes standard on the S-line up. Also the head-up-display is an optional extra! (Not fitted as standard).

Nice review! I have one on order as my company car. The Q4 is actually cheaper than an Enyaq or ID4 on my scheme so was a bit of a no brainier. Wouldn’t buy it with my own money though - £50K for a well-specced version is way too much. Tried a lot of cars - all the MEB platform ones, an Ionic 5 and Volvo XC40. The Q4 was the best one for me for price and practicality. Would say all cars at this level though are great cars so I wouldn’t have been disappointed with any of them (okay maybe the ID4 due to the infotainment!).

Very few people pay cash. It’s all down to the monthly’s. And a lot will go to company car schemes where the BIK makes them very affordable compared to their ICE equivalents. Also Audi reckon this will be one of their slowest depreciating cars, so depreciation should be better than on equivalent petrol models.

Brill Tish!

Own a Q4 40 S-line one. Its a very good car and the steering controls are not as finicky as many reviewers claim. They are quite good in my experience. Lack of certain high-end features for a car of this price is my major disappointment- likes of 360 degree camera, seat adjustments memory functions etc should be standard features like in an Ioniq5. Come on , Audi!

Love everything about it and it is beautiful !!

How about testing the 2024 Q4?

Tish. You might want to go into the serviceability aspect of those vehicles. Especially when they are promoted as a luxury vehicle! How accessible and serviceable is it's battery pack? Give a good look at the design of the cooling/warming system for the battery pack. How accessible is it? Step up to the dealership parts counter and brace yourself for the cost of the cooling/ warming system major components! Also, what is the cost of the various battery packs? Inquire about the labor time involved to replace it. These things matter in the real world.

@enyaq_gorm

How realistic is it that users need to get the battery serviced? They have an 8 year warranty by which time most people will have sold the car on. And there are plenty EVs out there with high mileage (taxis for example) with very few issues occurring with the batteries in real life.

It looks just too cheap for me. While I was considering buying one, the plastic design and touchscreen controls where putting me toally off. Even a Q3 looks more high-quality than the Q4 from the outside. And having rage after rage because an idiotic steering wheel messes around with you music and settings is a big no-no. Maybe they bring out something better. But what they currently made is having too much dissappointing design ideas which prevents me from buying it.

The front end design is much more sporty than the US models unfortunately. Furthermore, the wheel selections are ugly. There is something very wrong about the Audi marketing people in the US truly sucks, really watered down the design that they considered as 'luxury', like adding fake wood grain dash on the passenger side. Pathetic ideas!
