Video Summary
The Q4 is a battery electric vehicle that has been on sale since 2021. It's built on the MEB platform, which is the underpinning for the Skoda Enyaq, the Cupra Born, and VW's ID range. The car is fitted into the reviewer's world quite easily. The all-wheel drive Quattro 50 produces 300 horsepower, achieving 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds. The range starts with the 35, the 40, then the 45, and then the 50. The 35 and 40 models have a smaller battery pack, so they have less range. The reviewer has experienced around 280-290 miles of range. Charging from 5% to 80% takes 38 minutes. The car can be charged overnight using a three-pin domestic socket. One might struggle without a driveway. The acceleration is brisk. With 300 horsepower, the car achieves 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds. It keeps going until it reaches 111 mph.The performance is immediate, with no hesitation. Stylistically, it looks quite classy and contemporary, as Audi tends to manage. In terms of the interior, the choice of materials is lovely, and everything feels solid and well-built. There are no rattles or squeaks. The infotainment screen is blended neatly into the dash. The physical buttons for the climate control system are a plus. On the S-line model, the ride isn't too firm, absorbing bumps nicely. The visibility is excellent, with no obvious blind spots. It handles rough services, potholes, and speed bumps with minimal cabin intrusion.
However, the seat is manually adjustable. The interior doesn't feel particularly luxurious. It lacks a panoramic glass roof, keyless entry, and electric seats as standard. It has been suggested to save a few grand and go for the 45 e-tron model. The gear lever is flat, and not very intuitive, and there's no park button. Also, B-mode only allows minimal regenerative braking. Used prices start around £35,000, but that's going to get you a low-spec 35 model. The tested car is priced at £62,500.
