5:49 Thomas, great review of the Q4 e-tron SUV and Sportback. I thought you said that you prefer a RWD to the quattro? No frunk means no added weight ahead of the front axle, which gives the rewarding RWD handling vehicle. No frunk means short overhangs.
17:50 Q4 e-tron SUV smaller turning diameter of 33.5 ft (10.2 m) vs MY 39.8 ft (12.1 m) vs Mach-E 38.1 ft (11.8 m) and shorter front and rear overhang vs the other two.
25:00 No one-pedal driving, TY. I like to put the brakes and my right or left foot to work or using the paddle shifters for the regen.
Hello Rich guy, put some videos for poor viewers too like that of Dacia Spring, Sandero.
💗❤💜 wie geht's dir mein Herr?
Hi Thomas
Your reviews are the best i have seen so far. You are spot on with both this Audi and Tesla model Y, which i tried today.
14:55 Dear car manufacturers: Please stop putting the cup holders in the middle of the arm rest. It's annoying and defeats its purpose.
Excellent review as always!
agree but the coffee is more safe and n the middle
Where would you put them?
What about the manufacturers placing the USB inlets right next to the cup holders? Just seems like an electrical nightmare waiting to happen.
@@DK-pr9ny Cup holders at the end of the arm rest would be a better location instead of the middle.
@@burnx45 I remember my Dad's old VW Passat had this. You can see it here: assets.suredone.com/1517/media-photos/cp034140-rear-seat-arm-rest-ski-pass-cup-holder-console-06-10-vw-passat-b6-black-leather-3.jpg
They come out like a drawer if you press at the front of the armrest.
Unfortunately, the new Passat doesn't have it anymore but also like the Audi in the middle. I think it's just way cheaper. Also, the Passat hat a dedicated space behind the cupholder inside the armrest where you could put stuff in.
Did the video just end? usually a round up at the end ? Great car(s) and I like the look of the sportback over the SUV.
“Old school yo”😄, by the way miss the okd school conclusions and also the full screen lets go!
Full screen, full length, full HD - let's go!
Cabin sounds really quiet even in the rain! Nice interior on the SUV, good review.
Love your turning circle demonstration Thomas!
Great in-depth informative video, great job thank you!
Great review Thomas!! Excellent work Autogefuhl like always.
appreciated!!
Was the sudden ending intended? 🤔
Seems weird, but the rest of the review, great and sympathetic as always! 🤗
A very good review as always! Thank you!
I watched a few of your videos now. I think you make quite great reviews and you have a good style of presentation. you also drive to the speed limit, which is appreciated and gives you credibility. if you have a cameraman on your side, perhaps both of you could discuss different points of view (if he wants to, of course). I hope this channel continues to grow and not turn into many on youtube which are clickbaits now. all the best.
Becoming my favourite car reviewer…..keep up the great work!
Great review as always! I would definitely go for the Sportback... It looks so awesome and with that outstanding design!
Cheers m8!
I've never wanted an SUV until now. I think this is amazing. Love your videos as always, Thomas!
thanks keep tuning in m8 =)
Love your show & content creation. Thanks for the in-depth look & review. 👍🏻
👌
Very surprising seeing the sportback boot and suv boot. Really thought there would be much more difference. Great video as always.
Bravo Thomas ! Thank you ! So quick I didn’t had time to wish for this review but I plan to get this car so I’m so happy !!!
This will likely be a big seller. I’m a fan. Great video 👍
Great video quality! You got a new subscriber :)
I've followed Autogefuhl for years and should be used to Thomas always being first to review new cars by now, but still... Wow! Thanks for making isolation easier! 🙇🏻
Hi Thomas , really your channel is the best .. good luck
Do you know if the Q4 has car2x like the ID. models? No OTA updates?
Thomas with the dizzy comedy, quite fun. 👍🏼
Will Audi take the id.3 platform as well? Perhaps a "A3 e-tron"
I have watched your reviews for several other cars before finally deciding to own a Q4. Do you know if the side mirrors fold after you turn off the ignition automatically? In my Q2 it was under central locking menu but can’t find it in Q4. Would be disappointing if they didnt include this functionality.
Thanks for great review. How do you consider driving experience compared with Etron 55 Sportback?
Nice video, like always. How do you compare the q4 etron to its competitors EQC and iX3? And which one would you go for?
Gr8 review as always! Thank you! And Sportback for moi.
Thanks my friend, keep recommending us
@@autogefuehl No thank you for the content!!
”Capacity B S”! I love choice of words 😃. A totally agree with you. It’s B S.
Is the HUD as sharp as known from A4 / A5 / A6? I found the HUD in ID4 / Enyaq not sharp. And how is the SONOS System quality-wise?
Nice videos...keep it up sir👍👍
Ah, this is the most anticipated test for me this year.
Great video Thomas! Very nice car
Hi Thomas, will you be getting to do a goodbye to the 2-Series coupe? Would love to see a full test on the non M cars to see your feelings.
Thankyou! A really good comprehensive and informative review, comparison between the two shapes was spot on too. I'm a bit old and unfortunately the grey/silver plastic trim on the outside reminds me too much of my teen years in the 80s. I like that Audi have transferred their interior knowledge to the Q4 e-tron. So far I think the Cupra Born is my favourite MEB platform car, and the Audi e-tron GT is my favourite on the other platform.
Great view again Thomas. The only thing missing was you measuring the length of the boot. I have two dogs and I just want to make sure there is enough room for them in the boot. Any chance of giving us the length?
Just orderede the SUV, Atittude and model 40. Sportsseats and panoramaroof... Cant wait for it!
Can you make a comparison EQC, Etron 55, IX3 and Skoda. Which one do u recommend
Great review - thx Thomas. So.... Q4 or IX3 Thomas?
The best review always from Thomas !! Superb video, love this Q4 E-Tron !!
thanks Gery have a good day!
@@autogefuehl Dankeschön :=)
Did the paddles adjust the regen when you were in B mode, to make it any stronger? I really like that flat logo on the steering wheel, I think it looks modern and clean.
Thanks, the best in-depth review I have seen on the Q4 e-tron. I've just ordered mine.
Thanks and enjoy :)
Thanks and enjoy :)
This is at last the video i’ve waited most to see on youtube. Great Thomas!!
If you compare this to the iX3 Bmw how does they compare??
Thank you for doing the 204ps.
4:25 amazing acting LOL
Love your videos as always! Has this video been cropped incorrectly? Seems to end abruptly?
Definately prefer the sportback if its still as practical 👌
Actual climate buttons . ..yes yes YES!
Car pinging all the time at you warning of reduced visibility. . .no no NO! Hope that can be turned off.
EVERY time my car pings loudly at 4°c to warn of risk of ice I s*#t myself thinking somethings gone wrong on the car
how is the suspension on this one compared to the bmw ix3?
Thanks for comparing both models side by side. Seems that the Sportback may have poorer rear visibility, but love the style.
Great review 👍. Somehow not a fan of the Sportback. Haha that spin after turning radius test
Looks like the BMW X6 mated with the Mercedes GLC and popped out this piece of 💩.
Weird ending, great review, great car, thank you
Very Good video! I especially appreciate the fact that you recommend the rear wheel drive version over the all wheel drive. Sometimes people forget that emobility is about efficiency and range.
Absolutely brilliant, better than the uk presenters! First class.. enjoyed watching it.. 👌👏
Ps you’re English is perfect too! Thanks for the uk version! Vorsprung ordered!!👊
Welcome!!
Does anyone know if these will be built in Chattanooga when the ID 4 and Buzz start being built there?
Hi Thomas. You were 'blown away' last year by the IX3. But that was compared to cars available back then. Does this Audi hit the same level of driving experience? And is there a gap in driving dynamics compared to Enyaq?
Ha! I don't know if it was intentional, but when Thomas talked about Audi going to animal free upholstery he said 'Mooooving' . The cows are happy for using their language.
☺️
You are the coolest motorjournalist! 😃
You know its a very cold spring when Tomas is wearing a winter jacket in late may.
Interesting it has drum rear brakes, how does this work with ABS, can you lock the rear wheels ?
ABS works on drum brakes as well as disc
Great review!
If you had to pick a car with standard equipment with no addons between ID.4 Pro, Enyaq IV80 or Q4 40 Proline which one would you pick?
That's a good question, in my case I have to choose between the Enyak 80, which I tried already and the Q4 40, not available to try before August, which is a bit annoying considering the delays here in Belgium ...
Get rid of capacitive controls, change the piano black to textured carbon fiber, improve the materials on the door surfaces and this would be a definite buy for me.
Great job Sir
Finland observed! Juha Kankkunen driving Academy 👍🇫🇮
"The Oscar for best Impression of a dizzy person goes to......"
Thx for the review Thomas, nicely done as Always!!! -- My shorlist keeps getting bigger for my new car ... at the moment :
- Mercedes C plug in (new model) (any chance U can do a real review one of these weeks?
- Mustang Mach E
- Skoda Enayq iv
- Audi Q4 etron sportback -- btw the infotainment seems A LOT better then id4 and enyaq? -- different hardware to your opinion?
Difficult choices :p
Great looking Cars Thomas , Coupe for me though sir , I As for the weather , You had some torrential rain on the test drive but i think it's just a matter of time before the sensors on the cars can cope with that without going crazy 🤣👍👍
Thanks for the review! I hope that Audi will come up with a black pkg to get this big fake front grill less flashy and more sporty! Question : what's the feeling when driving with this new steering wheel shape? It looks bigger and less sportier in terms of grabbing feedback compared to the regular sline steering. Thanks!
Danke Thomas, guter Test. Wie ist denn die Leichtgängigkeit der Lenkung im Comfort Mode, sowohl beim RWD, als auch beim AWD?
Danke! Sehr leichtgängig, grade im comfort mode
What was the top speed for this? Is it like ID3 and ID4 160km/ or 180km?
I saw a Q3 Quattro TFSI yesterday parked next to me. I was awestruck. So gorgeous 😍
PS. It was brand new. Fire engine red.
The detail on it... OMG
Wonderful review! Hopefully by the time the Q6 e-tron comes out they will have the animal free options sorted. I really like the Sportback! I agree with you, Thomas, on engaging heavier recuperation as you get comfortable with the car. On the 2021 e-tron Sportback I use the recuperation paddles a lot.
thanks Jeff!
SUV for me. I’m fighting between the RWD vs AWD; I need to see if the acceleration in the RWD is acceptable for my daily driving. I just canceled my ID.4 AWD Pro S. Still need to know how much range penalty you get from AWD configuration.
Great review. I've just ordered my AUDI Q4 (40) e-tron as the BIK saving as a company car driver is huge! I currently have an Outlander PHEV and even going for a car that is more than £10k more expensive I'm saving almost £70 a MONTH in tax! Gone for the Navara Blue and I have added everything (except the Matrix headlights - couldn't justify £20 a month for a light signature I'll never see). Really excited to try out the SONOS sounds system, AI & smooth drive. Was a bit nervous about going all-electric for the first time but actually when you look into it, there are a lot of fast charging stations and this will only improve (hopefully fast than the increase in other drivers on the road though!). I have a charging station at home (11 hours full charge I've heard) and the 300 miles (Yes real will be less) should get me to the office on a full charge (200 miles) so I can plug it back in. I also opted for the retractable tow bar as I will be attempting camping (plus roof box) with this car. Might do a video to demonstrate the range as I will be carrying/pulling a fair bit :o
"Juha Kankkunen Driving Academy" -takki? Torille!
Suomi mainittu!
Samaa katoin!
Always a fan of your detailed reviews Thomas. The details you capture are second to none. Can you shed some light on the differences between 45 vs 50 etron. It looks to me, the mechanics including electric motor specifications are the same. The difference seems to be in software, which gives the boost function (25kw more output) in 50 etron when battery charge is > 88%. Do you agree with that or are there some other differences apart from visual (base vs advanced line)
thanks ! yes there wont be a big difference... it is just a little software tune
Nice watch Thomas :). TH Carrera ?
I just drove the Q4 AWD. It's built like a vault, and has a comfortable and quiet ride, but slower than the competition. You nailed the feeling, Thomas. What concerns me is that charging speed and range is somewhat less than lower priced competitors. The seat was supremely comfortable and there was plenty of headroom in the rear. Sadly, there is no federal tax credit available any more for the Q4. I'm leaning towards the Lyriq, with more luxury and less sport, and with better range from its 100 kW battery and faster charging. I do prefer the interior of the Lyriq, and the Supercruise option is compelling. The Caddy should come with about $4,000-7,000 in federal tax credits, putting the price on parity with the Audi. I also prefer the exterior styling of the Lyriq. PLEASE GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE FOR REVIEW EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL TO FLORIDA TO DRIVE ONE! I will put you up here in St. Augustine for free!
Your standard and command of the English language is better than 75% of English people…and I’m English!
😎
You mention the turning circle of the Audi Q4 40 is better than the 50, but what is the turning circle exactly for the 50 (it was 10.2m for the 40)? (maybe I missed it in the video if you did say it :) )
I have always been told rear wheel drive is bad for snow. I live in Denver, Colorado where in the metro area, we don’t get a ‘ton’ of snow during the winter, probably 2-3 times where it’s +8” of snow. But usually melts from the roads within a day. So my question, in terms of dealing with heavy slush, and fresh snow (say it starts snowing during the commute), how will rear wheel do? I have a 100 mile round trip per day drive to work and back and looking for an electric vehicle that can support that range (which this does) but curious if the rear wheel drive is bad belief is true or with modern stability features it’s just an old mode of thinking. Thanks for the video.
Last question. Do you think Audi will do the same thing for 2022 with the Q5? Or is that just the basic E-Tron?
Listening to Sonos car audio on Sonos home theatre😀
Thanks Thomas
cheers!
Great informative video as always guys! Nice car but do you know why VW group EVs do not have a front trunk?
E Tron Quattro & GT as well as Taycan have a frunk.
@@Geilegarnele these 3 models are far more expensive than the mainstream VW models I'm talking about that do not
@@cameronmurray3039 the cheap models are all based on the same MEB platform which sacrifices the frunk for more interior room.
@@Geilegarnele just sounds to me like it's poorly packaged in comparison to competitors
@@cameronmurray3039 The concept of a frunk is poor packaging as it increases the length of the vehicle without greatly improving interior volume usability… Bjorn Nyland made a great video about it, you can check it out there and see why the absence of a frunk is actually a good thing and proves a good design.
Is the wheel capacitive?
I was surprised/disappointed that you failed to mention on the review of the Cupra Born that it has individual buttons on the steering wheel instead of capacitive buttons.
Best option in it’s segment by a mile 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I ordered mine last week
Enjoy!
Thanks a lot Thomas for a great review again! I would go for the Sportback. That one will be on my shortlist. 👍🏻
Autogefuhl always gets cars before anyone else!😎
in your service!
@@autogefuehl Thomas u look like u can be Dracula in the movie, seriously, u need a coat and pointed ears, and teeth :D
Sportback and love that colour as well
I like the Sportback look. The range looks good, I think VW has a really good lineup for electric. I like the interior way more than the Tesla. Of course I have an Audi A4 with the virtual cockpit right now, so it looks very familiar to me. Oh I do like the controls for the climate. Heads up display looks great. I had one in a BMW a few years ago that I really miss.
Great review. I think for the price point right now I would go for the ID4. Maybe wait until next gen of this model, or pick one of these up used in 3 years.
Any idea when an electrical A4 Avant might be available? SUVs are too inefficient energy-wise for my liking. THX.
A6 e-tron will be released in late 2022, A4 e-tron isn't announced yet. Hence I'd guess 2023 earliest. Looking also forward to this to replace my S5 😊
@@babelhuber3449 thanks for your answer. Audi’s strategy is somewhat difficult to understand as the A4 is their best selling if I’m not mistaken. I would have started with that model instead of big e-tron SUVs, like VW started with their bestseller Golf in an electrical version (iD 3).
Is the test car equipped with the “accoustic” / “noice cancelling” Windows?
Thank you for the great in depth review!
I wonder if this is any quieter than the id4. I love how quiet the etron is, but that’s out of my budget, so I’m hoping this Q4 will be just as quiet as the etron.
Very good video😁😃
4:29 Oh Thomas! Absolutely hilarious! 😅👌
Regarding the regen comments, as long as we have manual paddles on the steering wheel, it's no issue. Similar to having paddle shifters on an ICE car, you can easily control what you need depending on the situation.
Thomas, what is the reason why Audi has not exported any Q4 to the US in over a year? Software issues?
russia'a attack on Urkraine
Changing my XC40 is 2024. Could well be one of those.
Regular version for me..Thomas 💪💪
More of the same from VAG. Where did the ETron GT style and innovation go? The front looks like it was influenced by a snow plough. 125 kW charging, seriously?
Waiting for Ioniq 5 for an innovative EV. In the sub Taycan bracket.
Genesis GV60?
Is the Q4 Etron trim Sport?
watch full length, I explained differences between base and s-line
very good review. I am planning to buy SB in Korea. By the way, how tall are you?
thanks, stated in every interior review!
does this q4 has auto hold feature?
Yes
