2025 AUDI Q4 E-TRON QUATTRO REVIEW AND OFF-ROAD TEST

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron Quattro is presented as a practical and fun-to-drive compact luxury EV crossover, aiming to appeal to traditional car enthusiasts. The reviewer highlights its upgraded electric motors delivering 335 horsepower and an EPA-rated range of up to 258 miles with the 82 kWh battery. Key positives include a well-appointed and futuristic interior with a functional augmented reality head-up display and a comfortable, supportive seating position. The Quattro all-wheel-drive system is praised for its grip and performance, especially in dynamic driving. The reviewer also notes its surprising capability on a light off-road course, exceeding expectations despite the lack of a dedicated off-road mode. However, criticisms include a charging speed capped at 175 kW, which is significantly slower than some competitors, and a sport suspension that some may find too firm. The reviewer also points out the absence of true single-pedal driving and a less advanced semi-autonomous driving system compared to rivals like the Tesla Model Y. Despite these drawbacks, the overall verdict is highly positive, with the reviewer finding the Q4 e-tron to be a competent, quick, and enjoyable vehicle that feels more like a traditional Audi than a typical EV.
