The Audi Q4 eTron is the first eTron to bear a conventional Audi naming convention
It’s sized between, you guessed it the Q3 and Q5
But it’s all EV all the time, no hybrid, no gas
This rides on the same chassis as the VW ID4
This one comes standard with the dual motor AWD
300 hp
240 mile range
Starts at 54k, this one is 64 as tested
Model Y STARTS at 68k
Lets talk looks
Like most modern Audis the design is thoroughly modern
With a focus on the lighting features
In this white it reminds me of the RSQ8 they have at IA
Grille is just design
No frunk
Some cooling below grille
Prestige has dual 5 spoke wheels
20 in
Bridgestone tires
Puddle lights
From profile it’s very ID4 shaped
But looks SO much better than the VW
Slightly flared rear hip
Taillights are so cool
It’s not super shouty about being EV
Etron on back bumper
Trunk is nice size, no frunk
White with brown interior is a nice spec
Decent rear seat space for being smaller than the Q5
Flat floor
No sunshades, no heated rear seats
Ambient light, rear climate
Pano roof
Auto start the car when you sit down and put foot on the brake
Auto turn off when you are stopped and open the door
Don't even need to put it in park
Very geometric cabin
LOTS of piano black
LOTS of sliders
Volume
Steering wheel
Sunroof
Steering wheel is weird shape
With all the uber modern stuff the infotainment is refreshingly familiar
Virtual cockpit is the best in the game
Prestige trim gets AR navigation in HUD
360 cameras
Heated seats heated steering wheel
No cooled seats
300 hp
0-60 in 5.8 seconds
Dual motor AWD std
ID4 chassis
240 miles of range
5-80% in 38 minutes
Hows ride
Hows refinement
Hows quickness
Again starting at 54k, as tested 68k
So not as impressive as rivals, but also less money

Short informative condense presentation 👌I would like to see those beautiful cars in 4k videos

Great video! Just subscribed man! 🤙🏽

I’m looking forward to get my Q4. Ordered in january.

[@kiethuynh3411]

240 miles range? Pass. Will consider EV if range at least 300 miles

[@inbefferke]

I just got to order my Q4 Sportback at work. The only downside.....waiting until the end of 2023, probably early 2024. Greetings from Belgium.

My wife loves the look of this car and headed out this week to test drive. Does this qualify for the federal rebate?

[@davidmordecai9890]

Is this a review or an advertisement? Like the id4, it does not have one pedal driving or a 360 degree camera. And all the gloss black. Deal breakers.

Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! Q4 or Model Y?

[@formerpilot]

You didn't mention that the rear tires are a different size (larger) than the front. So, no opportunity to rotate the tires. Why did Audi do this?

[@fegik5922]

The q5 has never been larger than the x3 or glc! 🤨 it's the size of a macan, which means the q4 here is smaller than a macan😶

Brought to you by VW group 😂🤣

[@Kareem-cx4fi]

Same platform as the id4. Range is even worse. This is just a glossier id4.

[@emmagyamfi8686]

The interior is very ugly
