THE AUDI Q4 E-TRON IS A MORE EXPENSIVE VW ID.4 WITH FEWER FEATURES

EV Channels Review

The Audi Q4 e-tron is presented as a premium alternative to the Volkswagen ID.4, sharing the same platform but with a more upscale interior and distinct styling. While the reviewer praises its beautiful design, comfortable ride, and superior UI compared to the ID.4, significant criticisms emerge. The Q4 e-tron is noted for lacking key features found even in lower trims of the ID.4, such as adaptive cruise control with auto-steer and massaging seats, which are not even optional on this spec. Charging speed is also identified as a drawback, being on par with the ID.4's slower rates rather than the faster 800-volt systems from competitors. Ultimately, the reviewer concludes that while it's a competent and comfortable vehicle, it doesn't justify its higher price point or the Audi badge over the more feature-rich and cost-effective VW ID.4, suggesting the true Audi EV experience lies with the larger e-tron models.
