THE Q4 IS A REGULAR AUDI THAT HAPPENS TO BE ELECTRIC | 2023 AUDI Q4 E-TRON REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron is presented as a conventional luxury crossover that happens to be electric, aligning closely with the traditional Audi driving and interior experience. Its primary advantage is this familiarity, making it an easy transition for existing Audi owners. However, this conservative approach comes at the cost of competitive range, which lags behind many rivals. The reviewer highlights the elegant, restrained design, comfortable interior, and practical cargo space as key strengths. On the downside, performance is described as relaxed rather than exhilarating, with a 0-60 mph time of 5.9 seconds for the AWD model, attributed to a power delivery that ramps up gradually. Charging speed is also noted as not being class-leading. Despite its merits, the reviewer concludes that the recent significant price drops on the Tesla Model Y, coupled with its superior range and access to the Supercharger network, make it a more compelling option, even with Audi's strong build quality and interior design.
