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

Pros	Cons
Plush cabin packed with tech	Skoda Enyaq offers longer range for less cash
Capable of 100kW or 125kW charging	Irritating touch-sensitive steering wheel controls
Roomy enough for a family of four	Doesn't stand out from crowded rivals

Quick Summary

The Audi Q4 E-Tron is a premium mid-sized family SUV and well-rounded electric car. Available with a choice of 52kWh or 77kWh battery packs, it offers an official WLTP range of up to 316 miles. The Q4 40 E-Tron provides the sweet spot between price and range with 201bhp and 8.2-second 0-62mph acceleration, whilst the Q4 50 E-Tron adds four-wheel drive and 295bhp for a 6.2-second sprint. A slinkier Sportback version is also available. The cabin is well-appointed with a responsive 10.1-inch touchscreen, virtual cockpit digital dials, and traditional climate control knobs. Practicality is adequate with a 520-litre boot and 60/40 or 40/20/40 split rear seats, though rivals offer more space.

Running costs are competitive, with home charging costing around 5p per mile using a standard tariff. Electric cars avoid the £155 annual road tax and £335 premium tax on vehicles over £40,000, saving approximately £2,450 over six years compared to petrol or diesel equivalents. Servicing is affordable at from £22 monthly. The driving experience is smooth and composed, with intelligent brake regeneration that automatically harvests energy when approaching traffic or junctions. However, the optional square steering wheel and touch-sensitive controls can feel gimmicky, and some premium features require costly optional packs.

Best for: Buyers seeking a premium electric family SUV with excellent technology, strong charging speeds, and low running costs; those prioritising brand prestige and a plush interior.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious EV buyers (the Skoda Enyaq offers better value), those wanting maximum practicality (rivals are more spacious), or drivers who dislike touch-sensitive controls and unconventional steering wheels.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Q4 E-Tron if: You want a premium electric family SUV with excellent technology, strong charging speeds, and low running costs, or you prioritise brand prestige and a plush interior.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious (the Skoda Enyaq offers better value), need maximum practicality (rivals are more spacious), or dislike touch-sensitive controls and unconventional steering wheels.

Competitive Position: The Audi Q4 E-Tron is a fine all-rounder in the premium electric SUV segment, offering a well-built cabin, impressive technology, and competitive charging speeds. However, it struggles to truly differentiate itself in an increasingly crowded market. The Skoda Enyaq iV delivers similar driving dynamics, longer range, and significantly better value, whilst the Ford Mustang Mach-E offers superior practicality and quicker acceleration at a comparable price. The Mercedes EQA, meanwhile, provides premium appeal but with less interior quality. For those who can justify the premium pricing and value the Audi badge, the Q4 E-Tron is thoroughly recommendable; for others, stronger value propositions exist.
