2022 AUDI Q4 E-TRON 50 AWD FIRST IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

This video offers a first impression of the 2022 Audi Q4 50 e-tron AWD, a model exclusive to the Canadian market. The reviewer highlights that this vehicle is essentially an Audi-badged Volkswagen ID.4, sharing its platform and powertrain. Key differentiating features from the ID.4 include a panoramic sunroof that opens, a more luxurious interior, and Audi's signature design elements. The "50" model is the top-tier, all-wheel-drive version, producing 300 horsepower and offering brisk, though not class-leading, acceleration comparable to the ID.4 AWD. The reviewer notes the "S line" package and "tech package" add significant cost and features like matrix LED headlights and a larger center screen. Practical aspects like trunk space, rear-seat room, and charging capabilities are covered. While praising the quiet cabin and refined driving dynamics, the reviewer points out the lack of true one-pedal driving, a common trait in Audi EVs, and the higher price point compared to the ID.4. The vehicle's primary competition is identified as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Genesis GV60, with the Audi positioned as a more premium, albeit more expensive, option.
