Volvo EC40 Driving Review
The Volvo EC40 is presented as an electric-only SUV coupe, sharing its platform with the XC40 but distinguished by its sloping roofline and unique rea... morer design. The reviewer highlights its consistent and clean exterior styling, noting the advanced pixel LED headlamps and distinctive tail light signature. Inside, the EC40 emphasizes sustainability with a completely animal-free interior, including seats, steering wheel, and gear knob, utilizing recycled materials for elements like the felt inserts and floor mats. The Android Automotive infotainment system, powered by Google, is praised for its intuitive interface, excellent Google Maps integration, and voice control capabilities, with the promise of future Apple CarPlay support. Driving dynamics are described as agile and sporty, with strong acceleration from the dual-motor AWD setup. However, the ride can be firm on 20-inch wheels, suggesting 19-inch wheels for improved comfort. Real-world range is estimated around 400 km (250 miles) on the motorway and over 400 km (250 miles) in the city, with energy consumption around 20 kWh/100 km on the motorway. The reviewer notes the harsh, one-pedal driving setup due to strong regenerative braking, which requires adjustment. The primary drawback identified is the vehicle's high price point, though it is acknowledged that the EC40 delivers well on most other aspects, including a comfortable and quiet cabin, good interior space for its size, and comprehensive driver assistance systems. less
BMW i4 M50 Driving Review - The German Midsize EV Sedan Against The Tesla Model 3!
The BMW i4 M50 is reviewed as a compelling, albeit not perfect, transition vehicle from internal combustion engines to electric mobility. The reviewer... more praises its "M performance" driving dynamics, highlighting excellent chassis rigidity, agile handling due to a low center of gravity, and exhilarating acceleration, especially in Sport Boost mode. The adaptive recuperation system is noted as an innovative feature that bridges the gap for ICE drivers. However, significant criticisms are leveled at the steering feel, described as too light and sometimes feeling disconnected, particularly during aggressive driving. The mixed suspension technology (air in the rear, conventional in the front) is also questioned for its balance. Practicality is hampered by the shared platform with combustion engine models, resulting in less rear legroom than expected for the car's exterior size and the absence of a frunk. The infotainment system's lack of manual climate controls is also a point of contention. Despite these drawbacks, the i4 M50 is considered a fun, well-insulated, and capable car, particularly for those moving from traditional BMW sedans, offering a more engaging drive than some competitors, though its real-world range falls slightly short of the advertised figures. less
The Hot Hatch Of EVs! Cupra Born Driving Review 231 Hp E-Boost RWD
The Cupra Born is presented as the "hot hatch of EVs," offering a sportier and more emotional driving experience compared to its VW ID.3 sib... moreling. The review highlights its aggressive styling with copper accents and a choice of striking colors. Performance is a key focus, particularly the "e-Boost" version, which delivers 231 hp and provides a go-kart-like, agile feel thanks to its RWD platform and low center of gravity. The reviewer praises its precise steering and the ability to disable ESC for spirited driving, especially with the wider tires. Interior-wise, it's described as fancier than the ID.3, with premium materials like Dinamica microfibre and supportive sport seats. However, the infotainment system's slowness and non-backlit temperature sliders are noted as significant drawbacks, as are the capacitive buttons on the steering wheel. Real-world range is estimated around 400 km (250 miles) with the 77 kWh battery under mixed conditions, slightly less than the official figures. While the handling and performance are lauded, the reviewer points out less sensitive brakes and the loud turn indicators as minor criticisms. Ultimately, the Born is positioned as a compelling, fun-to-drive electric hatchback for those prioritizing emotion and sportiness over pure practicality. less
All-New BMW 2-Series Active Tourer MPV Premiere Review 2022
The BMW 2-Series Active Tourer receives a comprehensive review, highlighting its evolution into a more stylish and technologically advanced compact MP... moreV. The reviewer praises the updated exterior design, particularly the "huge double kidney" grille and the availability of M Sport and Luxury Line packages, which significantly enhance its visual appeal. Inside, the "curved display" with integrated instruments and infotainment is a standout feature, offering a modern and premium feel. The interior quality is noted as high-class, with soft materials and ergonomic seating, including optional massage functions. Practicality remains a strong point, with ample rear seating and a decent trunk space. However, the reviewer points out that while the "floating console" and "7-speed DCT" are standard, the overall driving experience, while competent, might not be as engaging as some might expect from a BMW, especially considering its sporty aspirations. The review also touches upon the plug-in hybrid variant, the 230e, with its impressive power output. less
BMW iX Full Review xDrive 50 AWD - World’s Best Big EV SUV?
The BMW iX xDrive 50 AWD is presented as a compelling, albeit unconventional, electric SUV. The reviewer highlights its impressive agility and driving... more dynamics, noting that it feels significantly smaller and sportier than its size suggests, even outperforming the Tesla Model X in this regard. The ride comfort is praised, with the adaptive air suspension and rear-axle steering contributing to a refined experience, especially on the highway where noise insulation is exceptional. Interior highlights include the spacious and airy lounge-like cabin, high-quality materials (particularly the optional Sensatec seats), and innovative features like the electrochromic roof. However, the infotainment system (OS8) is criticized for being overly complicated and a step backward from OS7. The reviewer also found the Bowers & Wilkins sound system's 4D function to be unnecessary and not worth the steep price, suggesting the Harmon Kardon system as a better alternative. While the exterior styling is polarizing, the interior offers a unique and luxurious environment. Real-world range is estimated to be around 550 km (350 miles) in mixed driving conditions, slightly below the official figure but still competitive. less
Brian Is Back!! With The All-New Peugeot 308 Driving Review 2022 308 SW PHEV vs Hatch Petrol
Brian returns with an in-depth review of the 2022 Peugeot 308, comparing the SW estate and hatchback variants, as well as the Plug-in Hybrid and PureT... moreech petrol powertrains. The GT trim, featuring matrix LEDs and distinctive 'Lion's Fang' DRLs, is highlighted for its bold design, which draws comparisons to American car design and even Ferrari. The interior impresses with quality materials and the innovative 'i-Cockpit' with a 3D display, though the reviewer notes the lack of haptic feedback on digital buttons and the distraction of climate controls within the touchscreen. The driving experience is praised for its taut chassis, responsive steering, and comfortable seats, particularly in the hybrid model. However, the hybrid's added weight impacts handling on bumpy terrain and cornering. The reviewer finds the base petrol hatchback more town-car-like and lighter due to the absence of the hybrid system, but less refined. The reviewer's personal preference leans towards the hatchback for everyday use, finding the SW's extra space unnecessary for his needs. A significant point of contention is the placement of climate controls within the infotainment system, deemed distracting while driving. less
Tesla Model Y Driving Review With High Speed Autobahn Test! AWD Long Range 2022
The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD (Shanghai-built) receives an extensive review, highlighting its improved chassis rigidity thanks to the aluminum cons... moretruction and Giga casting, which significantly enhances handling and reduces flexing compared to the Model 3. The reviewer praises the spacious interior, premium build quality that has notably improved over earlier Teslas, and the efficient powertrain offering substantial real-world range, estimated around 400 km (250 miles) with mixed driving, potentially more in city conditions. However, the review points out several drawbacks: the seats could be wider and longer for taller individuals, the lack of a digital instrument cluster or head-up display is a significant omission, and the suspension, particularly with 20-inch wheels, is deemed too harsh over uneven surfaces, a clear weakness when compared to German competitors. Despite these criticisms, the Model Y is lauded for its immense driving fun, precise steering, and impressive acceleration, making it the most enjoyable Tesla tested by the reviewer to date, even if it falls short of premium expectations in certain comfort and feature aspects. less
The Spectacular Atlantic Ocean Road in Norway Driven With The VW Touareg E-Hybrid PHEV vs Touareg R
This video review pits the VW Touareg eHybrid against the Touareg R, both PHEV models, along Norway's stunning Atlantic Ocean Road. The reviewer ... morehighlights the eHybrid's conservative yet elegant exterior and luxurious interior, emphasizing its comfortable, 'king of the road' driving experience. The R variant offers a sportier aesthetic with blacked-out accents and larger wheels, though the reviewer notes the visual differences are subtle from the rear. Performance-wise, the R boasts more horsepower and quicker acceleration, but the reviewer questions if the extra power justifies the cost, as the electric boost in the eHybrid already provides significant torque. A key drawback for both PHEV models is the absence of rear-axle steering and anti-tilt control due to battery space constraints, impacting maneuverability. The infotainment system is described as impressive but not the most intuitive, and the electric-only range is deemed insufficient for longer journeys. Ultimately, the Touareg R is positioned for those who prioritize its aggressive styling and bragging rights over significant dynamic improvements. less
New Upcoming Cars 2022 IAA Mobility Motor Show 2021 Highlights
The Mercedes-Benz EQE is presented as a significant electric vehicle, positioned as the electric E-Class built on the same platform as the EQS. The re... moreviewer highlights its distinctive, polarizing design, which is noted as being heavily influenced by the Chinese market, potentially alienating some European and American tastes. Key features discussed include the optional 'star pattern' grille, Digital Light, and a unique one-bow design. Practicality is addressed with a conventional hatch trunk, contrasting with the EQS's fastback, though this offers more rear headroom. The EQE 350 is identified as the rear-wheel-drive variant, with all-wheel-drive and AMG versions planned. The interior showcases new materials like 'Neotex' and a focus on animal-free options. The reviewer expresses reservations about the extensive use of capacitive buttons, deeming them a 'capacitive curse' that degrades the user interface, despite the visually appealing screens, including the optional MBUX Hyperscreen. While praising the ride comfort and advanced technology like rear-axle steering, the design remains a significant point of contention. less
Mercedes EQE Premiere Review - The E-Class EV!
The Mercedes EQE is presented as the electric E-Class, built on the same platform as the EQS but in a more compact, potentially more accessible packag... moree. The review highlights the EQE 350 RWD variant, noting its distinct styling, particularly the optional star pattern grille and the AMG-Line trim's aggressive touches. A key point of discussion is the controversial design, which the reviewer suggests is heavily influenced by the Chinese market, potentially alienating some European and American tastes. Practicality is addressed with a traditional trunk opening instead of a fastback, offering more headroom but less convenient loading. Interior highlights include the optional Hyperscreen, sustainable materials, and advanced MBUX infotainment, though the reviewer expresses reservations about the proliferation of capacitive buttons and the lack of physical feedback. While the platform and technology are shared with the EQS, the EQE offers a separate trunk and a slightly different interior feel. The reviewer notes a 90 kWh battery, projecting over 500 km of range, and charging up to 175 kW DC. Optional rear-axle steering is praised for significantly improving maneuverability. less
Audi A8 EV or Audi A9 E-tron? This Will Be the Future Audi Luxury EV! (Grandsphere)
The Audi Grandsphere concept, potentially the future A8 EV or A9 e-tron, presents a bold vision for luxury electric mobility set for a 2024 release. T... morehe reviewer highlights its striking exterior design, emphasizing a blend of form and function with a long wheelbase offering ample interior space. Inside, the cabin is lauded for its 'living room atmosphere,' featuring sustainable materials, a real climate dial, and innovative technology like laser projection infotainment and eye-tracking controls. The reviewer is particularly impressed by the potential for Level 4 autonomous driving, which allows for a lounge-like seating experience. However, the reviewer notes that some futuristic elements, such as the suicide doors on the concept, will be replaced by conventional doors in the production model. Performance figures are impressive, with over 700 horsepower and a 750 km range, supported by 800-volt charging technology. While the concept showcases advanced features, the reviewer questions the practicality of some interfaces, like gesture controls, and prefers a traditional monitor over the projected screen. Overall, the Grandsphere is seen as a significant step towards Audi's future luxury EV offerings, balancing design, technology, and sustainability. less
All-New Opel Astra Review Vauxhall Astra 2022 Ultimate vs GS-Line
The all-new Opel Astra (Vauxhall Astra) for 2022 is presented as a strong contender in the compact hatchback segment, directly challenging the VW Golf... more. The review highlights the "Ultimate" trim's elegant appearance, particularly in the featured golden color, and praises its modern design elements like the "Opel Visor" and integrated LED lighting. Inside, the "Pure Panel" dual 10-inch screen setup is a focal point, offering a sophisticated digital cockpit, though the reviewer notes the base version is less refined. Comfort is emphasized with AGR-certified sport seats, and the availability of Alcantara and fabric options is appreciated. The reviewer finds the rear legroom to be limited, characteristic of the compact segment. The plug-in hybrid variant offers a claimed 56 km electric range. While the infotainment system is functional, it's not deemed class-leading compared to Tesla or Polestar. The "GS-Line" trim is shown as a sportier alternative with distinct interior touches like Alcantara seats. The review also touches upon the upcoming all-electric version and a range of combustion engines. A notable point is the rear torsion beam suspension, which may be a disadvantage compared to competitors with more advanced rear axles. less
Toyota Yaris Cross Review with Hybrid AWD for the Small SUV
The Toyota Yaris Cross, particularly in the Adventure trim with Hybrid AWD, presents a compelling package for a small SUV. Reviewers highlight its bol... mored, off-road-inspired styling, especially in the Adventure trim with its distinctive bars and large wheel arches, contrasting it with the more elegant Elegance trim. The interior is noted for its modern design, comfortable and sporty seats, and the availability of features like a head-up display and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, though the infotainment system's responsiveness is criticized. Practicality is a mixed bag: while the cabin feels surprisingly spacious for its size, the rear door opening is tight for child seat installation. Trunk space is adequate, with the AWD version offering 320 liters compared to the FWD's 395 liters, a trade-off for the added traction. The 1.5-liter hybrid system, producing around 120 horsepower, is praised for its efficiency, especially in city driving and varied topography, achieving real-world consumption figures around 4.5-5 liters/100km. The AWD system, primarily an electric motor at the rear, engages only under slippery conditions, offering enhanced traction rather than performance. Driving dynamics are described as precise and natural, with comfortable suspension on normal roads, though it can get rough over severe bumps. Key advantages cited are the comfortable seats, the head-up display, and the overall crossover styling, making it feel distinct from its hatchback sibling. less
All-New Mercedes Citan (2022) - The Cheapest Mercedes Is A Small Workhorse!
The Mercedes Citan 2022 is presented as a practical and versatile workhorse, available in Panel Van and Tourer configurations, including an all-electr... moreic eCitan variant. The review highlights its updated exterior design with a prominent Mercedes star and optional LED lighting. Inside, the Citan offers a more refined cabin than its Renault counterpart, featuring optional MBUX infotainment, a digital instrument cluster, and comfortable, durable seats. The Panel Van focuses on cargo capacity with a spacious, rugged load area and flexible door options, while the Tourer prioritizes passenger comfort with sliding doors and flexible seating arrangements, including an optional third row in the long-wheelbase version. The eCitan aims for no compromise on payload or interior space compared to combustion engine models, offering an estimated 280 km (170 miles) of range. While the entry price is noted at €24,000 for the basic Panel Van, higher trims offer more amenities. The reviewer appreciates the functional interior design and the availability of modern features, though some basic versions have more rudimentary infotainment and controls. The ride comfort is noted as being tuned for a more Mercedes-like feel, especially in the Tourer variant, differentiating it from the Renault Kangoo. less
2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range Facelift Review The German Way
The 2022 Tesla Model Y facelift, built in Shanghai, impresses with significant improvements in build quality, addressing previous criticisms. The revi... moreewer highlights the spacious interior, practical large hatch for cargo, and the comfortable upright seating position, making it a strong contender in the compact electric SUV segment. While the infotainment system remains exceptionally responsive and the acceleration is potent (0-100 km/h in 5 seconds for the Long Range AWD), the reviewer notes the lack of manual climate controls and the absence of a head-up display as minor drawbacks. The panoramic roof's lack of a shade is also mentioned as a potential issue in hot climates. Despite these points, the Model Y's improved chassis rigidity compared to the Model 3 and its ease of parking are significant advantages. The vehicle's animal-free interior materials are also commended as a sustainable choice. less
Audi E-Tron GT RS EV Supercar Driving Review With German Autobahn
The Audi e-tron GT RS is presented as a high-performance electric supercar, excelling in acceleration and stability, particularly on the German Autoba... morehn. The reviewer highlights its impressive speed, agile handling despite its weight, and the sophisticated all-wheel-drive system with rear-axle bias. Key features praised include the standard Matrix LED lights, optional laser lights, cascading turning indicators, and the standard three-chamber air suspension and rear-axle steering on the RS model. The interior receives mixed reviews, with the Alcantara steering wheel and physical climate controls being positives, but the seat ergonomics are criticized for lacking comfort, even for a GT. Charging is noted as exceptionally fast due to 800-volt technology. While the reviewer finds it immensely fun and comparable to the Porsche Taycan Turbo S in acceleration, they suggest the Audi e-tron GT offers a slightly more comfortable suspension and a more user-friendly interface than the Taycan, making it a preferred choice between the two, despite the seating comfort concerns. less
World’s Best Luxury EV? Mercedes EQS 580 AWD Driving Full Review
The Mercedes EQS 580 AWD is presented as a potential contender for the "world's best luxury EV," aiming to end range anxiety. The revie... morewer highlights its exceptional aerodynamic design, contributing significantly to its range capabilities. The interior is praised for its comfort and the optional MBUX Hyperscreen, though the reviewer notes the extensive digitalization can be overwhelming and less intuitive than physical controls. Driving dynamics are lauded, with the air suspension providing a smooth, quiet ride, and the rear-axle steering enhancing agility despite the car's size. Acceleration is described as "super quick" and the noise insulation is superb. However, the reviewer expresses significant reservations about the software interface, finding it cluttered and distracting, and criticizes the reliance on capacitive buttons. Real-world range appears to be a strong point, with the reviewer suggesting it can indeed approach the official figures (around 630-650 km or 390 miles) under favorable conditions, though initial consumption figures were higher. The night-time ambiance, particularly the ambient lighting, is singled out as a spectacular and mood-enhancing feature. less
2022 Mercedes C-Class Driving Review - The Almost EV C-Class With The New W206 PHEV Range Test!
The 2022 Mercedes C-Class W206 Plug-in Hybrid Avantgarde is reviewed as a highly sophisticated and comfortable sedan, often referred to as a 'sma... morell S-Class'. The reviewer highlights its luxurious interior, improved rear legroom compared to its predecessor, and the standard 11 kW AC charging. A key focus is the electric range test, where the vehicle achieved an impressive 97 kilometers (nearly 60 miles) of pure electric driving, falling just short of the claimed 100 km, with an average consumption of 18 kWh/100km. This real-world result is considered excellent for a plug-in hybrid. Positives include the silent and relaxing electric driving experience, balanced handling, and excellent noise insulation. However, compromises are noted in the trunk space due to the battery, and the user interface, while visually appealing, can be complex with capacitive buttons and a lack of haptic feedback, making climate and volume controls less intuitive than physical knobs. The reviewer also mentions the optional rear-axle steering is not available on the PHEV, but the standard adaptive suspension with rear air suspension is noted for maintaining level with added battery weight. less
Hyundai Ioniq 5 Driving Review - Is It Now The Best EV To Buy?
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is presented as a strong contender in the EV market, praised for its distinctive retro-futuristic design, spacious interior, and i... morempressive charging capabilities. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's excellent build quality, comfortable ride, and engaging driving dynamics, particularly noting the precise steering and stable suspension. The bi-directional charging and remote parking features are also seen as significant advantages. However, the infotainment system is criticized for being complicated and not living up to the car's modern technology, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration being the only saving grace. While the real-world range is decent (around 400 km or 250 miles with the larger battery), it falls short of the efficiency offered by competitors like the Tesla Model 3. The lack of a rear wiper is a minor but noted omission. Despite its shortcomings, the IONIQ 5 is considered a very good electric vehicle, excelling in charging technology and overall package, though not definitively the 'best' due to infotainment and efficiency compared to rivals. less
All-New Peugeot 308 Hatch & Estate Comparison Review 2021 Driving 308 SW vs Seat Leon ST
The all-new Peugeot 308 (Generation III) is presented as a significant leap forward from its predecessor, particularly in terms of refinement and inte... morerior sophistication. Reviewers highlight improved noise insulation, a more comfortable ride, and a chassis stiffness increase of 25% contributing to a more responsive and engaging driving experience. The "i-Cockpit" with its 3D digital instruments and 10-inch infotainment system is a standout feature, though the placement of the steering wheel can still be an issue for taller drivers. The reviewer praises the design, especially on the estate (SW) version, and notes the comfortable GT Pack seats. While the 225 hp plug-in hybrid offers brisk acceleration, the 130 hp 1.2-liter petrol engine is deemed sufficient for most driving scenarios, offering a more engaging, albeit less powerful, experience. The comparison with the Seat Leon FR suggests the 308 excels in comfort and quietness, while the Leon offers a slightly sportier edge, particularly with adaptive suspension. The predecessor (Generation II) is noted as being significantly louder and less refined. less
All-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206 Driving Review! With Comparison S206 Estate T-Modell 2022
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206, particularly the AMG Line variant, is reviewed with a focus on its exterior design, interior features, and drivin... moreg dynamics. The reviewer praises the C-Class's sophisticated driving experience, noting its comfortable yet sporty adaptive suspension and the benefits of rear-axle steering for agility and stability. The interior is described as visually appealing, with high-quality materials, particularly the sustainable Artico/MBTex seats which offer excellent comfort and features like cooling. However, a significant criticism is leveled against the over-reliance on capacitive touch controls for various functions, including climate and mirror adjustments, which are deemed less intuitive and potentially distracting while driving compared to physical buttons. The reviewer also points out that opting for higher trim levels, especially regarding the infotainment system, can lead to a more complicated user experience. Despite these interface issues, the C-Class is lauded for its quiet cabin, excellent noise insulation, and overall build quality, making it a strong contender in its segment, though the reviewer advises opting for lower trim levels to avoid the most complex interface elements. less
VW ID4 GTX 300 HP AWD Review - The New EV GTI (US: ID.4 Pro S)
The VW ID.4 GTX is presented as the sporty evolution of the ID.4, aiming to bridge the gap between the GTI and electric performance. The reviewer high... morelights its aggressive exterior styling, including unique GTX accents and optional 21-inch wheels, which contribute to a sportier look than its siblings. Inside, the GTX offers exclusive blue and red contrast stitching, microfiber sport seats, and a blue dashboard, enhancing its sporty appeal. Performance is a key focus, with the 300 hp AWD system delivering impressive acceleration, particularly from a standstill (0-60 km/h in 3 seconds). The reviewer praises the precise steering and the adaptive DCC suspension, which offers a stiff, sporty setup in sport mode and a comfortable ride in comfort mode. However, criticisms include the capacitive controls, the small instrument cluster, and the continued use of piano black trim. Real-world range is estimated at around 400 kilometers (250 miles) with the 77 kWh battery, consistent with its platform siblings. While the GTX offers a more engaging driving experience than the standard ID.4 and its Audi Q4 e-tron and Skoda Enyaq counterparts, the reviewer notes the Audi offers a more premium interior and silence, and the rear-wheel-drive ID.4 provides a purer RWD driving feel. The GTX is positioned as a sportier, more playful option within the ID.4 family. less
All-New 2022 VW Multivan T7 Premiere Review - The King of MPVs?
The 2022 Volkswagen Multivan T7 marks a significant shift, moving to the MQB passenger car platform, which the reviewer highlights as a key differenti... moreator from its commercial predecessors. The exterior design is praised for being modern and attractive for a van, with notable features like the full-width LED light strip and optional matrix LEDs. Inside, the T7 impresses with high build quality, a new steering wheel, standard 10.25-inch digital instruments, and a comfortable seating position. The modular seating system, allowing individual seats to be easily removed and reconfigured, is a major highlight, offering exceptional flexibility for cargo or passenger arrangements. However, the infotainment system's software is identified as a weakness, being slow even after recent updates, though Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are viable workarounds. The plug-in hybrid variant offers a respectable electric range, and a future all-wheel-drive version is confirmed. The reviewer concludes that the T7 sets a new standard in the passenger MPV segment, offering a premium and highly adaptable experience, though potential buyers should weigh the infotainment system's performance. less
Audi Q4 E-Tron SUV vs Sportback Driving Review - Now The Best EV SUV?
The Audi Q4 e-tron is presented as a compelling mid-size electric SUV, sharing its platform with the VW ID.4 and Skoda Enyaq but offering a more premi... moreum feel and driving dynamics. The review highlights the choice between the SUV and Sportback body styles, with the Sportback's coupe-like design being a particular favorite of the reviewer. Key comparisons are made between the 200 hp RWD and 300 hp AWD models, with a preference leaning towards the RWD for its agility and smaller turning circle, despite the AWD's quicker acceleration. Interior highlights include the augmented reality head-up display and the user-friendly climate controls, contrasting positively with its siblings. However, the reviewer notes some cost-saving measures like drum brakes in the rear and less soft-touch materials in the door panels. Real-world range is projected around 400 km (250 miles) with the larger 77 kWh battery, which is deemed essential for most users. Overall, the Q4 e-tron is praised for its comfortable yet sporty driving experience, excellent noise insulation, and sophisticated interior, making it a strong contender in its segment. less
