Audi Q4 E-Tron (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Plush cabin is packed with tech	A Skoda Enyaq has a longer range for a lot less cash
Capable of charging at 100kW or 125kW, depending on the model	Irritating touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel
Roomy enough for a family of four	Doesn't really stand out from a crowded field of rivals

Quick Summary

The Audi Q4 E-Tron is a mid-sized premium family SUV and the most attainable pure electric car in Audi's range. Available with battery options offering up to 316 miles of official WLTP range, it sits on the Volkswagen Group's MEB platform, shared with the Skoda Enyaq iV and Volkswagen ID.4. The Q4 E-Tron comes in standard and Sportback versions, with three powertrain options: the 35 E-Tron (208 miles), 40 E-Tron (316 miles), and the four-wheel-drive 50 E-Tron (298 miles, 295bhp). It's competitively priced against rivals like the Mercedes EQA and Ford Mustang Mach-E.

The Q4 E-Tron is a well-rounded electric car with a plush, tech-packed interior and responsive infotainment system. Ride comfort is pleasantly composed, and the adaptive brake regeneration system helps maximise range. The 520-litre boot with underfloor storage suits family needs, though alternatives like the Skoda Enyaq iV offer more space. Running costs are low, with home charging at around 5p per mile and significant tax savings compared to petrol or diesel equivalents. However, some features like adaptive cruise control require a costly optional pack, and the touch-sensitive steering wheel controls can be irritating.

Best for: Premium SUV buyers seeking an electric alternative, families needing a tech-rich, comfortable vehicle, and those prioritising charging speed and range.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers (the Skoda Enyaq iV offers better value), those wanting maximum interior space, or drivers who dislike touch-sensitive controls.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Q4 E-Tron if: You're seeking a premium electric SUV with excellent charging speeds, a tech-rich interior, and enough space for a family of four.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious (the Skoda Enyaq iV offers better value), need maximum interior space, or prefer traditional controls over touch-sensitive interfaces.

Competitive Position: The Audi Q4 E-Tron is a fine all-rounder in the premium electric SUV segment, offering impressive range, rapid charging, and a plush cabin. However, it struggles to stand out from an increasingly competitive field. The Skoda Enyaq iV delivers similar driving dynamics and longer range at a significantly lower price, whilst the Ford Mustang Mach-E is quicker and equally well-equipped. The Mercedes EQA, though pricier, offers comparable premium appeal. For those prioritising badge prestige and technology, the Q4 E-Tron is thoroughly recommendable, but value-conscious buyers should seriously consider the Enyaq iV.
