2024 AUDI Q4 E-TRON REVIEW: SMALL UPDATE, BIG DIFFERENCE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron receives a mid-cycle refresh that brings notable improvements in range and charging speed, making it a more compelling alternative to rivals like the Tesla Model Y, especially for those seeking a premium experience. The reviewer highlights Audi's signature upscale feel, quiet and smooth ride, and solid build quality as key advantages over competitors, emphasizing a sense of luxury not found in Teslas. However, the Q4 e-tron is not without its drawbacks. Its price can escalate significantly with options, and it still lacks a full one-pedal driving mode, a feature common in many EVs. While the estimated range has increased, it still falls short of the Model Y's figures. The reviewer also expresses dissatisfaction with the unintuitive gear selector slider and the auto on/off seat function. Despite these points, the Q4 e-tron's standard features like heated seats and climate control, along with the optional augmented reality display, contribute to a refined ownership experience.
